TROUBLESHOOTING AND OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS The CulinarE-Companion application operates as a mini web server on your computer. This is very efficient and flexible but may require some adjustments to your browser settings if you have problems at any time. It is unlikely you will have problems unless you have altered settings on your browser. The following notes explain the main points where a problem may arise.
4.1. Do not choose "Work Offline" You do NOT need an active internet connection to run the CulinarE-Companion application. When you run the CulinarE-Companion application, you may get a message suggesting that an internet connection is not available. If you select "Work Offline", this setting will prevent communication with the program server operating on your computer, and the program will not function properly. Please choose "Try Again" (or "Connect"). The application should then launch without a problem. 4.2. Check "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" If you use a local network with proxy server, you should select the check box "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" in your internet settings. Please check for Internet Explorer: Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Local Area Network (LAN) Settings -> Proxy server. 4.3. Disable your pop-up blocker If you have a pop-up blocker installed in your web browser, it may interfere with the functioning of the CulinarE-Companion application, which does use pop-ups. Please disable your pop-up blocker while you are using this software. 4.4.

There you may choose to display recipes in US and/or metric values, add and delete your cookbooks or change their order. 5.9. Data Storage and Restoration All data information is copied and saved to the computer hard drive in the sub-folder initially created during installation. For example, "C:\Program Files (x86)\wiley CulinarE-Companion 4\..." (about 500 MB). When first running the application all data is automatically saved to the user's Home folder of the operating system. For example, "C:\Users\userDir\.culinarec" (about 100 MB). This data remains on the user s hard drive even after uninstalling the application. Upon reinstallation, this remnant data is automatically integrated into the application database. Choose the Removing user data option during program uninstalling if you wish to remove these data. Note if two or more users are owners of the same machine they will have their own databases in their user Home directories. There is no need to re-install the application for multiple users. 6.
