-

- Kiss web site, http://www.kissco.com or in the program
- itself (as a help file).
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Can I install Modem Wizard without a company name? ------
-
- The Modem Wizard installation (using InstallSHIELD) requires
- information to be entered into all fields, including the
- company name. If you purchased Modem Wizard for personal
- use, in the "Company Name" field enter "None" or "Personal".
-
- 2. Long file name support ----------------------------------
-
- Modem Wizard utilizes a Win 95/Win 3.1 compatible setup
- processor. Therefore, Win 95 long file and directory names
- are supported.
-
- 3. I have a modem but it canÆt be found --------------------
-
- Here are several possible reasons why:
-
- A. If you were connected at the time, Modem Wizard won't find
- your modem. Its tests are non-destructive and to make sure
- we don't disconnect an on-line session, we won't find your
- modem if your modem is in use.
- B. You have a Windows only modem. Modem Wizard's test
- program runs in a DOS box for a more accurate test of your
- modem. Use the Windows only modem test instead.
- C. The cable from your computer to your modem is loose
- (external only).
- D. Your modem is in a funny :) state. Try turning your
- modem off and then on (external only). Also try shutting
- down Windows and then turn your computer off and then on
- (internal only).
- E. Another application is using the modem.
-
- 4. Yesterday my modem was found but not today --------------
-
- Here are several possible reasons why:
- A. The cable from your computer to your modem is loose
- (external only).
- B. Your modem is in a funny state. Try turning your modem
- off and then on (external only). Also try shutting down
- Windows and then turn your computer off and then on
- (internal only).
- C. Another application is using the modem.
-
- 5. Does Modem Wizard set up my computer for the internet? --
-
- You need a modem and an Internet Service Provider (ISP) such
- as AOL or AT&T WorldNet installed before Modem Wizard can
- completely setup your computer up for the Internet.
-
- 6. What is an "ISP"? ---------------------------------------
-
- ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. AOL, AT&T WorldNet
- and EarthLink are examples of ISPs.
-
- 7. When not to "Skip Browser" ------------------------------
-
- When you connect using Modem Wizard or Modem Monitor, you
- get a screen that allows you to choose which browser to
- load. You also have the option to "Skip Browser". You might
- want to do this, for example, if you plan to directly access
- an FTP site without using the web.
-
- However, if you have selected one of Modem Wizard's direct
- connections to web sites, such as the Modem Exchange or the
- Tech Support menu command, you must choose a browser. If you
- select "Skip Browser", Modem Wizard cannot complete your
- requested web access.
-
- 8. Working with AOL ---------------------------------------
-
- Modem Wizard was designed specifically to work with AOL.
- However, it is possible to set conflicting options in Modem
- Wizard and AOL. Most often these problems will be seen if
- Modem Wizard has been set to automatically redial if the
- connection is lost and AOL has NOT been set to remember the
- password. See below and the FAQ for information on how to
- resolve this and other issues.
-
- 9. Problems when Skipping the Login Dialog box ------------
-
- The Login Dialog screen includes the telephone number of
- your provider, user name, and, when saved, your password.
- To save you time, Modem Wizard allows you a "one click"
- logon to the internet if you select "Skip Login Dialog" on
- the Modem Monitor screen. If any information is incorrect
- or missing, for example the ISP's phone number has changed
- or if you haven't saved the password, your "automatic" login
- will fail. To undo the "Skip Login Dialog", go the Modem
- Monitor screen and select "Reset Personalization".
-
- 10. A quirk with Worldnet ----------------------------------
-
- This quirk happens when you have other ISPs installed along
- with the WorldNet ISP installed.
-
- WorldNet comes with a Netscape that is WorldNet aware. If
- you run a Netscape that didn't come WorldNet you may run
- into incompatibilty problems. Furthermore, If you run a
- Netscape or Internet Explorer BEFORE loading the WorldNet
- Dialer you may have problems because of incompatibility with
- WINSOCK.DLL.
-
- In some cases, if you have Netscape that you downloaded or
- purchased from Netscape and you are using WorldNet, you will
- have no problems as long as you dial using WorldNet before
- running your version of Netscape.
-
- To be safe, terminate all browsers before dialing using
- WorldNet and then load your browsers.
-
- 11. Changing the phone number before running Remote Test ---
-
- When running the Remote Test from the Modem Test screen, the
- telephone number of the remote modem is displayed. If you
- need special processing, for example dialing 9 to gain
- outside access, you can edit the phone number yourself.
-
- First, the "Local Call" button removes all digits contained
- in the parentheses.
-
- Second, you may add any addtional digits you need (such as 9)
- to the phone number displayed. If it is a local call, click
- the "Local Call" button and add the "9". If it is a long
- distance call, you can add the "9" either inside or in front
- of the parentheses.
-
- 12. Why should I connect to the Kiss Software home page? ---
-
- You can find out about the latest updates to Modem Wizard
- as well as other great software products sold by KISS
- Software Corporation. Also, there will probably be some free-
- bees available.
