2.   TROUBLESHOOTING

2.1 No programs open after inserting the CD/DVD-Rom into the drive

In cases where the window does not open after inserting the Original-CD, you can also start the application manually:

1. Double click on the "computer" icon on your Desktop.
2. Then double click on the "DVD/CD-ROM" drive icon.
3. Double click on the file "autorun.exe".

Should you have no luck with either method, then you can run Secure Weblink directly by starting the executable file "bonus.exe". Please make sure you are connected to the Internet. Your Browser should now open the secure Web area.

2.2 There is no CD-Rom Data on my CD

In very rare cases - depending on your CD-ROM drive - the CD is not recognized correctly and the drive cannot read the CD-ROM data part. If your computer is equipped with more than one CD-ROM drive, please put in the disc into the other drive and try to start the application again.
