   Figure 3. The Crystal Ball Application Manager

   

   • To start Crystal Ball each time you start Microsoft Excel, select When starting Microsoft Excel, automatically launch Crystal Ball.

     If others are using Crystal Ball on the same computer, each of you can have separate startup settings.

   • If multiple versions of Microsoft Excel are installed, select which version of Microsoft Excel should start with Crystal Ball.

   • If several versions of Microsoft .Net Framework are installed, select Use Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5 (Recommended) to ensure the appropriate version is used.

3. Optional: Microsoft Excel 2010 lists Crystal Ball Developer Kit functions with all of its functions when you use the Formula AutoComplete feature while typing a function name in a cell. If you are using Microsoft Excel 2010, an additional checkbox is displayed: Load Developer Kit upon launch. This checkbox is selected by default. Clear it to disable the Developer Kit and remove Crystal Ball functions from the AutoComplete list.

   If you have disabled the Crystal Ball Developer Kit, enable it if necessary:

   • If you want to use the Crystal Ball Developer Kit

   • If Crystal Ball is not installed in the default location and you are experiencing problems with certain Crystal Ball tools

   • If otherwise instructed to do so

4. When settings are complete, click OK.
