In the Internet Update dialog, press the Next

Click the Next button to download the
update. The updates are several MB, and it may take several minutes to download
depending on the speed of your Internet connection.
After the file is downloaded, the dialog box will
change to an installation dialog. Close the main program (Surfer, Grapher,
Didger, Strater) before starting the update installation. Press the Install
button in the dialog to install the update.
The update has downloaded.
Close Surfer, then click Install.
When the update installation has completed, press
the Finish button. You can then reopen Surfer, Grapher, Didger, and
Strater to continue with your work. You can verify the version you are running
by going to Help | About.
Go to Help | About to
see the version you are running.

Some network firewalls and proxy servers prevent
communication between your computer and the Golden Software update server. If
you have any difficulties with the above steps, manually download the update.
Right-click on the link below and choose Save Target As to display the Save
As dialog box. Specify the main application directory. For example, the
Surfer default main directory is c:\Program
Files\Golden Software\Surfer8\.
After the file is completely downloaded, close
the main application (Surfer, Grapher, Didger, Strater). For EXE files,
double-click on the EXE to install the update. For MSP files, choose the Windows
File | Run menu commands, and enter
msiexec /p <MSP file
name>
