This window is letting me know that my default browser, which is Google Chrome, doesn't support "Dynamic Imaging" and I will need to setup the proxy manually if I want to use this browser.


Just click the OK button. The program installer will set-up Internet Explorer or Firefox automatically, so you can use one of those browser's to take advantage of all Propel's features.




Click the Restart Now button.




Click the OK button.




When the computer is done rebooting and you're connected to the internet, this window will pop-up near the clock in the lower-left-hand corner. Type in your email address you have with Pound Communications in the "UserName" field and the password for that email address in the "Password" field.


Place a check next to "Save password (recommended)"


Click the OK button.




When successfully connected, this balloon will pop-up.
When it connects for the first time, your browser will open automatically to a "Propel Acceleration Configuration Wizard". This will help you to configure your Propel settings.
