2. What is the function of the above program?
3. What do you think will happen to a computer if there is no software?

Learning Task 2:
Software is the component of a computer system which refers to the set of instructions written
in a code-that computer can understand and execute. Another name for this set of instructions is
program. Software is a collection of instructions and data that tell the computer how to work.
Three Types of Software
1. Operating System
2. Application Software
3. Programming Language

1. Operating System - This software tells the CPU what to do. software that controls the
allocation and use of programs and data that a computer uses. Below is a listing of common
operating systems available today, and who developed them.
Operating system Developer
Windows 7 Microsoft
Windows 8 Microsoft
Windows 10 Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 Microsoft
Windows Server 2012 Microsoft
Windows Server 2016 Microsoft
Corel Linux Corel
MAC OS X Apple
Mandrake Linux Mandrake

2. Application Software - This is designed and written to perform specific personal, business, or
scientific processing tasks, such as payroll, processing, human resource management, or
inventory management.

 Common Application software are the following:
✔ MS Word, WordPad and Notepad
✔ Internet browsers like Firefox, Safari, and Chrome
✔ Microsoft PowerPoint, Keynotes
✔ Auto CAD
✔ Real Player, Media Player, VLC Player
✔ Dictionaries: Encarta, Britannica Mathematical: MATLAB Others:
✔ OpenOffice, Microsoft Office

3. Programming Language - Programmers use this software for making computer programs.
Programming software is a tool to make software using different programming languages.
Popular programming language are the following:
✔ Java
✔ Python
✔C
✔ Ruby
✔ Java Script

General tips in Installing Application Software

1. Make sure your computer meets the system requirements of the program, game, or utility
you are attempting to install.
2. The manual, or a README file, usually contains instructions on how to install a program.
Find it online at the software website or in a text file in the same directory as the installation
files.
3. If you have problems installing software, or it takes a long time, close or disable any other
running programs.
4. After installing a new program, if it prompts you to reboot the computer, do so.

How to install from a CD or DVD

Many software titles, games, and utilities have an AutoPlay feature. This feature automatically starts
a setup screen for the software when the CD or DVD is inserted. If your program contains this feature,
follow the steps that appear after inserting the disc into the computer.
If AutoPlay is disabled on your computer or unavailable on the software disc, follow these steps.
1. Open My Computer.
2. In the My Computer window, open the drive containing the installation files. For example, if
the files are on the CD-ROM drive, open the D: drive or letter of your CD-ROM drive.
3. In the drive containing your files, locate either the executable setup (e.g., "setup.exe") or install
file. Double-clicking this file starts the installation process. If there are multiple setups or
install files, locate the executable file or double-click each setup or install file until you find
the file that starts the installation.

How to install from a Download

1. Download the program from the website providing the program.
2. Open the download folder.
3. If the file you downloaded is executable, double-click the file icon to start the setup process. If
the downloaded file is compressed (e.g., .zip), you must extract the file's contents before setup
can begin. Fortunately, this function is built into most versions of Windows.
4. Once the files are extracted, double-click the setup or install file to install the program.

How to install from a USB flash drive

1. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer and find the USB drive that is often the last drive
letter.
2. Once the drive is opened, find the setup or executable file, and double-click the file icon to
start the setup process.

Installing from MS-DOS or the Windows command line

1. Before installing an MS-DOS program, you must switch to the drive or directory containing the
installation files. If you're installing a program from a CD or diskette, switch to that drive. If

Page 2 of 4
 the installation files are located in a different directory, use the dir command to list directories
and the cd command to switch directories.
2. Once you are in the directory or drive containing the installation files, run the executable setup
file. Many times, this can be done by typing setup or install at the prompt to start the
installation. If both of these commands give a bad command or file name error message, type
dir *.exe or dir *.com or dir *.bat. These commands list any executable files found in the
directory or drive. If any files are listed, execute these files to run the installation or setup of
the program. If no files are listed when typing all three of the commands above, you're in the
incorrect directory or drive letter for that program.
