     * You now open Azcam using the desktop icon, "start mont4k".  A red window comes up like before, but now there are 3 options you must select from.  Most users will use "mont4k standard mode" by typing "1".  RTS2 users will choose "mont4k for RTS2" and type "2".  CSS users will choose "mont4k for CSS" and type "3".  This window, and how you make selections, is very similar to bigguider's startup.     * You now open Azcam using the desktop icon, "start mont4k".  A red window comes up like before, but now there are 3 options you must select from.  Most users will use "mont4k standard mode" by typing "1".  RTS2 users will choose "mont4k for RTS2" and type "2".  CSS users will choose "mont4k for CSS" and type "3".  This window, and how you make selections, is very similar to bigguider's startup.
