Use Oil Change to Update Software


  1. Double-click the Oil Change icon on your desktop.
  2. If required, type your member name and your password on the main Oil Change window.
    To have Oil Change use that password each time you log on to the CyberMedia ActiveHelp server, select the Remember my password check box. This check box should be selected by default.
  3. Click Start.

Oil Change does the following:

Checks your computer for an existing list of products. If it finds one, Oil Change asks if you want to use this list or have Oil Change rescan your computer for products.
Connects to the CyberMedia ActiveHelp server and checks for updates.
Lists the updates in the Supported Applications and Drivers dialog box

Tip

You should let Oil Change rescan your computer when you have installed new hardware and software since the last time Oil Change scanned.
