- select the "Groovix Live" option to try the Groovix demo without modifying your existing files on the hard drive
- steps for the different ways to install Groovix can be found in the Groovix Installation Guide page
Here are some tips for trying out the demo disc:
- the demo Card Number is demo and the PIN is 1234
