Run From USB thumb drive
(Short Form)
To run orbs from a USB thumb drive, complete the following steps:
- Insert the thumb drive into your computer's USB port.
- Open Windows Explorer to locate the thumb drive installation folder.
- Find the orb run program, wgge.exe
- Start the orb run program.
Insert the Drive into a USB Port.
- Note where the plastic connector is located inside your computer USB socket. It often occupies the top half of the socket.
- Remove the cap from your USB thumb drive and look down into the plug connector. If the computer socket has the plastic piece at the top, rotate the thumb drive until the plastic inside the plug is on the bottom.
- Gently insert the USB thumb drive connector plug into the USB socket. There should be minimal resistance if the plug is correctly aligned (Figure 3).
