Can I request a name to be added to the DT Trainer?

 

How can I install the DT Trainer if the installation program does not automatically run?

 

How can I transfer students between DT Trainer installations?

 

Note: Before transferring any student data between computers, please be sure that both installations involved are the same version. Failing to do so could cause corruption or loss of data.


In order to move the student data between computers, you will need a form of media on which to transport the data. Depending on the number of programs and reinforcers, and the amount of training data that you have for each student, the data may or may not fit on a floppy disk. If the data is too large for a floppy disk, you can use such media as writable CD's or memory sticks to transfer the data.

To transfer the data between computers, follow these steps:

DT Trainer versions 1.0-2.0.7
1) Using either "My Computer" or "Explorer", locate and open your DT Trainer installation folder on the first computer (the default location is "C:\Program Files\DT Trainer").
2) Open the "Students" folder.
3) You should now see a folder for each student that you created within the DT Trainer administration program. Move the student's folder from this location to the "Students" folder under the new installation. Usually the entire student folder will fit on a floppy disk, but it will generally be easier to use a shared network drive. NOTE: Do NOT delete or move the "ModelStudent" folder in the Students folder.
4) Once the student folder is transferred (and verified), you may delete the student from the first system. You can use the "Delete Student" in the DT Trainer administration.

DT Trainer versions 2.1 and newer
Part A: Backup the student from the old installation.
1) Launch the DT Trainer administration program, and select the "Common Administration" tab.
2) Click the "Maintenance Tools" button.
3) Under the "Basic Backup / Restore" tab, set the backup location to your removable media drive.
4) Using the drop-down list, select the student that you wish to transfer, and click the "Backup" button.

Part B: Restore the student in the new installation.
1) Repeat steps 1-3 from Part A.
2) In the "Restore List" on the bottom half of the screen, select the student that you are transferring, and click the "Restore" button.
3) Once you have restored the student, you may delete the backup from your removable media.

Please note that if transferring students from one computer to another, you will need to delete the student's icon on the first computer (in the "DTT Students" folder) and create a new icon on the second computer. You can create a new student icon by completing the following steps:

1) Launch the DT Trainer administration program.
2) Click on the "Student Options" tab, and select the student whose icon you need to create.
3) Click the "Options" button.
4) Click the "Intermediate" tab, and click the "Create Icon" button.

Can I bring back a student shortcut or DT Trainer startup shortcut that has been accidentally deleted from the desktop?

 

Why can't I run certain training videos, reinforcers, or content programs?
