Q: How
long will it take to install version 9.5 from the CD or to update to
version 9.7?
A: The
update is rather large and
it may take as long as several days for Manage IT!
to go through its updating process the first time you
run it after installing the update. Please also reserve
extra time for your Manage IT! software update or CD
upgrade if you use equipment created before January
2000.
Q: Should
I be worried about losing my Manage IT! data?
A: As long as you’re not updating
Math or TEKS Biology, all your records (including demographic
groups, students, classes, and assignments) will be
saved.
Warning: The
assignments in TAKS Math titles for grades 1-11 and TEKS
Biology will be reset.
Q: Where
can I find the 9.7 Update?
A: If you have a dial-up internet connection,
connect to the Internet first. Open the Sleek_9 folder
on your hard drive and open the SleeksIT folder. Double-click
on CheckUpIT9. CheckUpIT will download and install the
updater from the Sleek Corporation Web Site. If you have
Manage IT!, open the ManageIT folder. Double-click on
CheckUpMIT. You may also call us at 1-800-337-5335 to
request a version 9.5 CD. If
because of firewall or proxy issues you are unable to run
the CheckUp utilties, please click here to download the full

Q: Why should I install the 9.5
CD and the 9.7 online update?
A: We recommend updating your computers
so that you can have the most recent content and program
updates.
Q: Has
the content changed?
A: Yes. With version 9.5, Spanish
TAKS Science titles for grades 3–5 are available
for the first time and are included in both the update
and on the CD for you to use for free for 30 days!
Also, the TAKS Math titles for grades 9–11 have
been changed and updated so that there are more higher-level
problems, including more multi-step and problem-solving
algorithms. The TAKS Science titles for grades 9–11
now have new ruler questions, and the TAKS Science
titles for grades 3–5 have new gridded-response
questions.
With
the version 9.7 update, you get all of the above changes,
plus the following additional changes:
Math
Several modifications have been made to the Math content
resulting in better TAKS-based, grade-appropriate
questions, particularly in the elementary school
titles.
Science
New IPC questions have been added and lessons in the elementary Science titles
have been modified to facilitate navigation through the lesson lists.
Social
Studies
Several new U.S. Government questions have been added to our high school Social
Studies titles.
Q: What
else is new?
A: The Troy ISD Research Study video
is available on the 9.5 CD, as well as on our Web
site.
Q: Will
a manual be included to help me install the upgrade?
A: Yes. We have one posted on our Web
site, and we also ship Quickstart
Guides with the CD.
Q: How
can I contact Sleek Corporation?
A: Feel free to call us at 1-800-337-5335 or

You may also call and request that a 9.5 CD be shipped
