- TROUBLESHOOTING:
-
- 1. Installation Issues:
-
- a) There have been reports of "This program has performed an illegal
- operation" errors during install on some IBM Aptiva computers.
- It seems that the version of Windows95 that ships with some Aptivas
- includes a corrupt ODBCCP32.DLL file which can be found in the
- Windows/System directory. The file should have a size over 90K
- but the corrupt version is only 6K. If you find this is the
- case during installation, temporarily rename the corrupt ODBCCP32.DLL
- file to a new name before retrying the installation. Then proceed with
- the installation which should now work. After Barking Cards is
- installed you can go back and rename the corrupt file back to
- ODBCCP32.DLL.
-
- b) On some systems, at the conclusion of the installation an error
- message appears, "_ins0432 This program has performed an illegal
- operation". This is an Installshield message and it occurs after
- all the files have been successfully installed. It can be disregarded
- because Barking Cards Volume II will operate correctly.
-
- Other Issues:
-
- c) Pause/Quit toolbar is centered on the screen.
-
- If you run a Barking Card and the Pause/Quit toolbar displays in the
- center of the card, you need to adjust the settings of your video
- card. To change this,
-
- - Hit the Start Button
- - Go to Settings
- - Select Control Panel
- - Choose Display
- - Then Settings
- - Then change the Center Dialog Box setting
