- 2. If You Are Upgrading
- -----------------------
- If you are upgrading from version 2.0 and had received a "Can't find
- phone book" error message; After installing version 2.1 go into Setup
- and check that the correct dial-up account is selected under the
- Connection Tab.
-
- If you are upgrading from version 1.2 or prior there are several
- new options. Please run Setup and set these new options before
- using Lydia. The help file describes the various options.
-
-
- 3. Why it can't load Extended RAS Support (NT Users)
- ----------------------------------------------------
- When Lydia starts it checks to see if the current operating
- system supports the extended RAS functions that is uses to
- connect to the Internet. If it can't find them (such as with
- NT, which handles RAS differently than Windows 95) it will
- disable this feature. Lydia will still work, but the program
- may not be able to automatically connect to the Internet.
- In such a case simply choose 'Check only while online' under
- Setup.
-
- If you receive an error that it can't find RASAPI32.DLL and the
- program exits then you need to ensure that you have Dial-Up
- Networking installed.
-
-
- 4. Note to AOL Users
- --------------------
- Lydia makes use of Windows 95's Dial-Up Networking to check
- if you are connected to the internet. If you are using AOL's
- software to connect to the internet Lydia's "dialup, check and
- disconnect" feature may not work.
-
- Lydia may also not be able to determine if you are online when
- checking for new mail. To over come this do the
- following:
-
- 1. Under the Connections tab in Setup select 'Connect via LAN
- or other direct connection'.
-
- 2. Under the Mail tab in Setup place an X in 'supress error
- messages'.
-
-
-
- 5. Peek Line Problem
- --------------------
- Some POP3 mail servers do not follow the internet standard
- for retrieving portions of messages. These servers count the
- lines of the message header as part of the message. If you
- notice that the number of lines seen when you peek at a
- message is consistantly short of the number of lines you have
- specified under the Mail tab in Setup then your Mail Server
- may be one of these. There is no way to get around this other
- than convincing your ISP to change Mail Server software. A
- suggestion would be to increase the number of lines to peek
- at by 15. (This is the average number of lines in a message
- header)
