-
- WINDOWS INSTALLATION:

-
- 4- If the Colorado Group was not created then please follow the
- directions in TROUBLESHOOTING later in this file.
-
- 5- In order for the Scheduler to work, generally you have to
- disable any background programs. Even Screen Savers!
-
- TROUBLESHOOTING:
- To get best results, it is recommended that you have the files
- and buffers set to 30 each in your CONFIG.SYS file.
- For Best compatibility, Boot up your system with a bootable
- disk that has a config.sys file which contains 30 files and
- buffers and nothing loading in the AUTOEXEC.BAT.
-
- - If the Colorado group was not created, then you need to shut
- down all running program in Windows, except program manager.
- To determine which programs are running Press CTRL-ESQ.
- Also make sure you have at least 512K of memory. Click on the
- DOSPROMPT icon in the MAIN group. Type MEM and press enter.
- Check the "Largest Executable Program Size" and make sure it is
- at least 512K. Rerun the WININST program again- Specified by
- the WINDOWS INSTALLATION above.
- If are running a shell other than Program Manager, Edit your
- SYSTEM.INI file and change the shell to PROGMAN.EXE and then
- install the Tape software. Then edit the SYSTEM.INI and restore
- the original shell.
-
- - If a format is not successful in Windows, try formatting in
- DOS. Use the Guidelines for DOS installation/operation.
-
- - If you install the Scheduler in Windows and you always hear 4
- beeps, you need to do the following:
- Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the root directory of Drive C:
- and delete the following lines.
-
- rem start of Colorado Backup Scheduler
- C:
- cd C:\TAPE
- autoback C:\TAPE
- cd \
- C:
- rem end of Scheduler
-
- - Since this program is a DOS based program, it will achieve
- BEST result when run in DOS
-
- - MOUSE. If your mouse is not working, please check the following.
- You must have a line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files that
- is loading a mouse driver. Windows loads its own mouse driver, so
- successful mouse operation in Windows is irrelevant for DOS
- operation. Usually you can use the Mouse.com that is supplied
- with Windows 3.1 or DOS 6.0. If you cannot locate Mouse.com, then
- you can find it on DISK4 of the original Windows installation
- disks.
- Insert Disk4 into the floppy drive and type: (Assuming the disk
- is in drive A:) Expand a:\mouse.co_ c:\windows\mouse.com and
- press enter.
- Then edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and include a line at the
- beginning: c:\windows\mouse.com.
- ** Note: some systems, EVEREX etc... have a special version of
- Windows 3.1. You would have to contact your manufacturer for a
- mouse driver or download MOUSE.ZIP from CMS BBS @303-635-0650.
