11. The login page appears. You can return to this page to start using KnowledgeTree, but first you need to start the KnowledgeTree background services.


On Windows:

Click Start - All Programs - KnowledgeTree - Services - Install Services.

Click Start - All Programs - KnowledgeTree - Services - Start Services. 

Note: On later versions of Windows (Windows 7, Vista and 2008) you would need to be logged in
as an administrator to install and start the KnowledgeTree background services.
If you aren't logged in as an administrator, follow the links above and instead of left clicking
the final steps (Install Services and Start Services), right click them and choose Run as Administrator.
