• Windows® XP with Excel 2000 through Excel 2010
• Windows® Vista with Excel 2007 or Excel 2010

Verification of PC Calendar Settings
Before starting with the installation procedure, check the Date and Time formats in the
Control Panel of the PC (Regional Options).
1) The Date Format must be set to "dd/mm/yyyy", that is "day" with two-digits, "month"
with two digits and "year" with four digits. TIMY-Soft does not function with computers
set to the American date format "mm/dd/yyyy".
2) The Time Format must be set to "hh:mm:ss", with the ":" (colon) as separator.
TIMY-Soft cannot function correctly if the Date and Time settings are not correct.
Installing on a PC with Windows®98
A USB driver must be installed before starting the installation process. This is available
from the TIMY-System supplier on request.
Excel Macro Settings for TIMY-Soft
Start Microsoft® Excel and deactivate macro protection. Microsoft® started providing a
virus protection function with Excel 97. The default settings for macro protection have
become more secure with each subsequent version of Excel. Under Excel 97, there is
simply a warning message and, on later versions, the default setting disables the macros
sometimes without a warning message.
TIMY-Soft makes use of many macros and, before beginning the installation, the Excel
macro protection must be deactivated. We guarantee that the delivered software files do
not contain any viruses.
