Welcome to CD-Quick Cache for Windows 95/98 Version 3.10 Revision History Version 3.10 - 7/8/98 Added support for Windows 98. On rare occasion, CD-Quick Cache was unable to read its registry settings upon startup. This would cause the software to default to use RAM even if disk was selected. Fixed. Some Busmaster drivers don't support multi-sector transfers. The busmaster fix added in v3.01 is now an option. The Norton System Doctor fix added in v3.01 caused problems with Disk Minder from Nuts & Bolts when used with FAT32. Fixed. CD-Test's priority has been increased to give more accurate results when other programs are running. Maximum cache size for disk has been increased to 256MB. Maximum cache size for RAM has been increased to 32MB. Version 3.01 - 3/26/98 Busmaster drivers that do not support scatter-gather prevented CD-Quick Cache from doing any readahead. Fixed. The Norton System Doctor from the Norton Utilities v3.0 periodically does a volume lock on the hard drive CD-Quick Cache uses for cache storage. CD-Quick Cache would detect this and shut down for the duration of the lock. The lock detect algorithm has been changed to allow CD-Quick Cache to remain active during these kinds of locks. If CD-Test did a random read on a file larger than 64MB, only the first 64MB would be read. Fixed. All documentation and program windows have been reviewed to insure that the software is only referred to as CD-Quick Cache. This was done to make the lawyers happy. Version 3.00 - 11/17/97 Added a persistent disk cache feature, so the cache will remember from disc to disc and session to session. Greatly enhanced control over full motion video caching. Now has full support for AVI, QuickTime and MPEG. AVI caching would not be disabled if the program thread that read the file was not the same thread that opened the file. Fixed. Made QuickMon a trayicon application. CD-Quick Cache now has the ability to report performance data to the Windows 95 System Monitor utility. Keycodes can now be entered from the opening splash screen. Now allows an uninstall if in "Safe Mode". QuickMon can now adjust for on-the-fly screen resolution and color palette changes. Setup now sets the non-compressed hard drive with the most free space as the default for cache storage. Now displays a warning if installation is attempted on Windows NT. Now warns if a Keycode for the DOS/Windows 3.x version is entered. Added a running day count to the opening splash screen. Fixed some minor user interface issues such as the use of the wrong text color with a black background. Version 2.01 - 1/8/97 A long standing compatibility problem was discovered that could occur with any low level disk utility that does volume locking. After such a utility was run, Windows 95 would no longer allow CD-Quick Cache to access its swap file. Known utilities that exhibit this problem are the Windows 95 ScanDisk and Defrag, and the Norton Utilities Speed Disk. This version of CD-Quick Cache fixes the problem. Version 2.00 - 12/28/96 Added the new utility, CD-Test to demonstrate CD-Quick Cache's effectiveness. All graphics have been updated to Windows 95 conventions throughout as well as new ones for CD-Quick Cache. CD-Quick Cache's timing has been changed to improve operation with some CD-ROMs. Maximum cache size for disk has been increased to 128MB. QuickMon's "Cache On" selection will now remember it's setting between sessions. A direct link to our Web Site has been added to CD-Quick Cache's splash screen and help file. CD-Quick Cache no longer displays a warning if no CD-ROM is found at startup (done for Laptops with removable drives). Uninstall can now remove the CD-Quick Cache directory as well. Install will no longer mark files as "Read-Only" if installed from a CD-ROM. Version 1.20 - 6/10/96 Some Windows 95 CD-ROM drivers still had compatibility problems with CD-Quick Cache. This has now been fixed for good. Added the ability to disable caching of .AVI video clips. CD-Quick Cache no longer requires CTL3D32.DLL. QuickMon now displays the percent saved when minimized in the Windows 95 task bar. Setup is unable to add a ShortCut for QuickMon if the Start Menu isn't in English. Added a warning message. Added a text file to aid in uninstalling CD-Quick Cache for those people who won't read the manual. Version 1.10 - 4/16/96 Some Windows 95 CD-ROM drivers had problems with CD-Quick Cache, causing the software to lock. Fixed! If QuickMon was started without first accessing a CD-ROM drive, a page fault could occur. Fixed! CD-Quick Cache wouldn't delete its old swap file if the drive used for the swap was changed. Fixed. Version 1.00 - 3/19/96 First release.
