- TROUBLESHOOTING & SETUP ISSUES
- ------------------------------
-
- I. WINDOWS 95 and NT USERS:
-
- This is the 16-bit version of PowWow. We recommend you use the 32-bit
- version of PowWow under Windows 95 and NT. You may download it from:
-
- <http://www.tribal.com/powwow/download/>
-
- on our World-Wide Web site.
-
-
-
- II. IBM WIN-OS2 USERS:
-
- If you receive a GPF during the setup process, switch from a Windowed to
- a Full-Screen WIN-OS2 session and re-run setup.
-
-
-
- III. SETUP DOES NOT COMPLETE
-
- If PowWow Setup reports any of the following:
-
- o cannot find _SETUP.DLL and _ISRES.DLL files,
-
- o cannot find a location to store temporary files in,
-
- o cannot decompress or copy files
-
- or otherwise cannot continue the installation process then it is very likely
- there is a problem with your temporary directory.
-
- The setup program requires your computer have a temporary directory on your
- hard disk to unpack files used during the setup process. At the end of the
- setup process these files are removed. To make a temporary directory on your
- computer first create the directory and then add a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file which says:
-
- SET TEMP={pathname of temporary directory}
-
- If you use Windows 95 or NT, make sure the directory uses a short ("8.3"-style)
- name, not a long-name like "C:\Temporary Files".
-
- For example, you could use:
-
- SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
-
- for your temporary directory. The drive which has the temporary directory
- should have at least 4Mb of disk space free.
-
-
- NOTE: If you have done all the above and still receive errors while running
- Setup delete the contents of the temporary directory and re-run Setup.
-
-
- If you have any difficulties installing PowWow you can send email to
- technical support at powwow-support@tribal.com for further assistance.
- Be sure to include the exact text of any error messages you receive.
