- Important Information
- =====================
-
- Thank you for purchasing WinOptimizer 99 DELUXE, the
- new Windows optimization and cleanup program from
- Hilchner & Lesani. You will find that WinOptimizer is a
- powerful tool that will help you to eliminate unnecessary
- ballast and keep your Windows system running smoothly and
- efficiently.
-
- This file contains some important additional information
- not included in the program documentation. Please read it
- carefully before beginning.
-
-
- Older Versions of WinOptimizer
- ------------------------------
- Please UNINSTALL all previous versions of the program
- before installing WinOptimizer 99 DELUXE.
-
-
- Computers with Multiple Operating Systems
- -----------------------------------------
- WARNING: Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when using this
- program on computers with more than one operating system
- installed. Failure to observe this warning may result in
- serious problems, which can vary depending on the nature
- of your system configuration.
-
- The DLL Search function is particularly risky on
- computers with more than one OS installed and should only
- be executed by users who are absolutely sure that they
- know what theyÆre doing!
-
- This applies in particular for dual-boot systems with
- Windows 9x and Windows NT installations on the same
- partition. NT and Windows 9x have many objects with
- identical names, and assuming that these are unnecessary
- duplicates and deleting them can lead to serious system
- malfunctions.
-
- You can avoid most of these problems if you install your
- operating systems on separate partitions and use a modern
- boot manager (like PTS Boot Manager 98 SUPRA) that hides
- the partitions containing the systems that are not
- currently active. However, you may still experience some
- problems if you have applications referencing the hidden
- operating system installed on visible partitions.
-
- Alternatively, you can also exclude the partitions
- containing your other operating systems from
- WinOptimizerÆs searches with the Drives To Search
- settings under Options.
-
- As a general rule of thumb, never delete ANYTHING on
- multiple OS systems unless you are 100% sure that the
- items you are deleting are not needed by any of your
- systems!
-
-
- Emptying the Recycle Bin
- ------------------------
- We recommend that you always empty the Recycle Bin before
- using WinOptimizer.
-
- The capacity of the Recycle Bin is limited. If you delete
- a large amount of data without emptying it first you may
- find that you cannot restore some files from the Recycle
- Bin when you need them again!
-
-
- The WinOptimizer Screen Saver
- -----------------------------
- This product is shipped with a special screen saver that
- can optimize your system automatically whenever it
- activates. When you install it, it appears in the Screen
- Saver list in the Display Properties as "WinOptimizer
- 99 DELUXE".
-
- Since some users may not wish to use this function the
- screen saver is not installed automatically. You can
- choose to install it together with WinOptimizer by
- selecting the appropriate option in the setup program.
-
- Please see the enclosed documentation for information on
- the screen saverÆs capabilities and how to configure and
- use it.
-
- WARNING: If you configure the screen saver to delete
- unnecessary files please take care that it doesnÆt
- activate automatically while you are installing
- applications! Installation programs often create
- temporary files and folders that the screen saver will
- believe are unnecessary, and this can lead to problems,
- causing the installation to abort.
-
- The best solution is to always DEACTIVATE the screen
- saver before installing software. Alternatively, you can
- set the activation period to a high value that will make
- sure that the screen saver does not activate.
-
-
- Issues with Windows 2000 (and above)
- ------------------------------------
- WARNING: We cannot guarantee that this application will
- work properly with systems running Windows 2000 or above!
