---------------------------------------------------------------
1.4 Upgrading Windows 3 to Windows 95 or NT4W When DeskTop is
installed
Because of changes made to the LPR/LPD component of DeskTop 5.00
running under Windows 95 or NT4W, if an upgrade from Windows 3 to
Windows 95 or NT4W is made the LPR/LPD components will be incorrect.
To install the 32bit components edit MVIEW.INI and change the line
MDTVersion=5.05
to
MDTVersion=5.04
Insert your DeskTop 5.05 media and run setup. Once the installation
is complete the LPR/LPD will have been updated to run the 32bit
support.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1.5 Choosing your Network Support
During setup you will be asked for the type of Network you will be running.
For Windows users using the supplied "Cisco Suite 100 TCP/IP" select
"Winsock TCP/IP 1.1".
For Windows 95 and NT4W users who are running Windows TCP/IP support
"Winsock TCP/IP 1.1" should also be selected.
