NOTE: Full PDF images of all U.S. patents can be accessed through the University Library's computers. The six computers in the reference room's scanner pod can be used without modification. On any other library computer, you will need to:
- Click Start button, then Settings, then Control Panel.
- Click on Add/Remove Programs.
- Click Quick Time, then Remove button. Uninstall all.
- Patent images can be viewed, but only printed a page at a time, and many error messages will keep popping up. You can ignore them.
- When you log off, the Go-back software will reinstall QuickTime.
