GETTING STARTED GUIDE I LAW PREDISCOVERY
Note: LAW PreDiscovery requires the installation of source applications for all native document
types that will be printed or converted to TIFF. For example, Microsoft Word must be installed to print
Word documents. Microsoft Excel ® must be installed to print Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, and Quattro Pro
worksheets. Microsoft PowerPoint ® must be installed to print PowerPoint slideshows/presentations,
and so on.
Note: Although anti-virus software is not required, we highly recommend having up-to-date anti-virus
software installed and running on the LAW PreDiscovery machines during processing. LexisNexis is
not liable for any damage caused by viruses embedded within processed documents.
Note: If using Windows Vista or Windows 7, please note the following:
■■When using LAW PreDiscovery with UAC (User Account Control) enabled, it is
recommended users do not create cases under the Program Files folder. This is a
“protected” location in Windows 7 and Windows Vista and therefore the case folder
will be redirected to the virtual store, a location in the current user’s profile (i.e., C:\
Users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Law50\Cases). Certain
functions in LAW PreDiscovery will not work properly when this data redirection occurs.
To avoid this issue, disable UAC (at your own risk) or create cases in a network location or
other location not treated as a protected location by Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Note: If using Windows Vista, please note the following:
■■Users may experience a decrease in processing speeds when using LAW PreDiscovery
with Windows Vista. This can be caused by any number of issues including fundamental
differences in the Windows Vista TCP stack, new Windows Vista network settings (there is
a wealth of knowledge on the Web for tweaks in this area), incompatible NIC drivers and
the particular virus scanner in use. If general navigation in LAW PreDiscovery or processing
speeds (TIFF, OCR, Endorse) seem unusually slow, you are likely affected by one or more of
these issues and there may or may not be a solution depending on the actual cause.
