- TROUBLESHOOTING PC-PROOF
-
- If you have a problem or a question, please read this section before
- contacting Intellect Systems.
-
- WHEN I RUN PC-PROOF ON MY LAPTOP, SOME OF THE MENUS AND DIALOG BOXES
- ARE HARD TO READ. CAN THE COLORS BE CHANGED?
-
- If you are using an LCD or monochrome screen, you can use a black and
- white screen color set by selecting 'Use LCD color set' under the
- 'Options' menu. You can also change the colors in the "Color Options"
- menu.
-
- I CANNOT RUN PC-PROOF. WHEN I TRY TO START PC-PROOF, IT HANGS MY MACHINE.
-
- Check if you have a good copy of PC-Proof. Try to load PC-Proof on
- another machine. Go to a computer store if you don't have access to
- another computer. If you can't get PC-Proof to run on any machine,
- then your copy of PC-Proof is defective. Get another copy of PC-Proof
- and try again. If PC-Proof won't work on just your machine, then you
- may be using an incompatible utility or driver. Old mouse drivers can
- hang PC-Proof on startup. The latest version of the Microsoft mouse
- driver is 8.2. Try to use the latest mouse driver. If PC-Proof still
- won't work, then boot your machine from a plain DOS disk (no
- autoexec.bat or config.sys file). If PC-Proof runs, then one of the
- programs in your startup files is incompatible with PC-Proof.
- Eliminate programs from your autoexec.bat and config.sys files one at a
- time, until you find the incompatible program. Please report any
- incompatible programs and drivers to Intellect Systems. If you find
- that the program crashes or behaves in an unusual manner when you go
- through a particular sequence of events, then you may have detected a
- defect in the program. The first person to report a defect will be
- eligible to receive a registered copy of PC-Proof with the correction.
-
- THE TSR FEATURE DOES NOT WORK. WHAT CAN I DO?
-
- You can try to eliminate the other programs running on your computer
- by clearing out your autoexec.bat and config.sys files (as outlined
- above). If it still doesn't work, you can try to turn off the XMS
- and EMS memory options. Make sure that you have enough memory to
- use the TSR feature. If this doesn't work, then your program is
- incompatible with the TSR feature. Please report any incompatibilites
- to Intellect Systems.
-
- THE PROGRAM SAYS THAT I NEED TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER USER TO QUIT
- USING PC-PROOF. WHAT IS HAPPENING?
-
- PC-Proof will only allow a limited number of users to access the
- program at the same time. You can increase the number of users by
- calling Intellect Systems and requesting additional network user
- licenses. If you are certain that no one else is currently using
- PC-Proof and you are still getting this message, then the network
- tracking files need resetting. To reset PC-Proof, run the batch file
- RESET.BAT, which is included with the program. You should make sure
- that everyone who uses PC-Proof, quits the program normally. If
- someone quits PC-Proof by just turning off their machine or their
- machine crashes, this will cause the network tracking files to become
- unsychronized.
-
- WHERE ARE MY CONFIGURATION FILES BEING WRITTEN TO? HOW DO I
- USE THE SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILES.
-
- It is important to remember that when you use the "Save Options"
- command, your new configuration file is normally saved in the same
- directory that you started PC-Proof in. For example, if you started
- PC-Proof from your C:\USR\MIKE directory, your new configuration file
- will be stored in this directory. If you use "Retrieve Options", only
- the configurations files in C:\USR\MIKE will be displayed. If you want
- to use the sample configuration files, you will need to type in the
- directory where PC-Proof is installed. For example, you could type
- C:\PCPROOF in the Retrieve Options dialog box. The configuration files
- found in C:\PCPROOF will then be displayed. If all else fails, you can
- reset your configuration by deleting the file PCPROOF.FIL from your
- personal directories. You can also install the program from the
- original disks.
-
- THE CHANGES I MADE IN THE DOCUMENT DON'T SHOW UP WHEN I LOOK
- AT THE FILE? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CHANGES?
-
- First, you can only modify your original file if you are using either a
- WordPerfect, PC-Write or a pure ASCII file. If you are using any other
- file format, your changes will not be written to the original file.
-
- I GET A DISK ACCESS ERROR WHILE USING PC-PROOF. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
-
- This usually means that you cannot write to the disk that you are
- using. Check if you have ample disk space.
-
- HOW CAN I RUN PC-PROOF FROM ANY DIRECTORY?
-
- You can run PC-Proof from any directory by including the PC-Proof
- installation directory in your DOS Path statement.
-
- WHEN I RUN PC-PROOF, IT SAYS THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MEMORY. HOW DO I
- GET MORE MEMORY?
-
- PC-Proof requires a minimum of 277K of main memory to run. Use CHKDSK
- to see how much memory is available. Check if you can remove any TSR
- programs that are loaded on your system.
