Dr. Hardware 2004 - Very important information

Please read the following important notes before 
starting the program for the first time:

Visit our homepage: http://www.dr-hardware.com
Here you will find the latest shareware versions 
and get online support.

This program is operating very close to the hardware. 
Therefore you may encounter problems running some 
of the tests including severe exception errors 
(Blue screens), general protection faults (GPFs), 
program errors; the system may  hang or reboot after
performing tests.
As far as we know from user reports there is no 
reason to expect permanent damages coming out of 
these problems. In most cases they donīt occur at all.

However if you want to exclude all risks you should 
not install and run this program.

Close all open files (especially data files like text
documents) before running the program. If not data might
get lost when the system crashes or hangs. Also close 
DOS applications and other background tasks before 
running the program. If not clock and benchmark 
measuring will be affected dramatically. In order to 
get the best viewing results switch to a resolution of 
800 x 600 with 256 colors or better and small system font.

Always look at the status line of the program. A red 
shining lamp indicates that the program is working.
