- StickyNote 6.00
- Frequently Asked Questions
-
-
- This file contains some questions which are asked frequently. Please
- peruse this file- you may find a simple answer to what seems to be a perplexing
- question.
-
- 1) Why can't I close a single note by itself? It seems that all I can do is
- close all of them at once (with Close stickies).
-
- You can close one at a time, through the note's context menu. Right-
- click the note and a menu will appear. Select "Close" from this menu.
-
- 2) Why can't I change the characteristics of a note after I've created it?
-
- You can, again through the note's context menu. Right-click the note
- and a menu will appear. From this menu you can change the font, font color
- and note color. You can hide the sticky, and toggle Always on Top behavior.
-
- 3) The installation procedure fails when copying files. What is wrong?
-
- You are probably running StickyNote when you run Setup, and trying
- to overwrite the running version. Windows doesn't allow you to write to files
- that are active. You need to close any running copies of StickyNote before
- you run Setup. This is specified in the first window of the Setup procedure.
-
- 4) Why do the notes appear differently from the custom colors I select?
-
- StickyNote must display your notes in a solid color. This is
- a constraint of Windows and the way the program is arranged. Thus, the
- color of your notes will be the closest solid color to the custom color
- you select. This should only affect you if you are using 256 colors or
- less; try using more.
-
- 5) The program freezes intermittently or grabs the modem
-
- StickyNote uses a simple socket mechanism to communicate with
- the Internet and whatever LAN your computer is connected to. On some
- computers, even without the Internet or a network, the StickyNote
- messaging system may cause problems. To fix this, check the
- "Force network interface off" button in the "Network" pane of the
- Options dialog. This will turn off all networking procedures and
- alleviate the consequent problems. Do not select this feature if you
- are not experiencing problems.
-
- 6) StickyNote is running and the network is on, but people can't send
- me notes.
-
- If StickyNote is running when you first log on to your network,
- it may take up to a minute for StickyNote to autodetect your network
- and set up its server software. It will not take more than a minute,
- however; a minute after you've logged onto the Internet people can
- start sending you notes. To check to see if StickyNote has initialized
- its network sensors, check the Information dialog box accessible from
- the main menu.
