- SETUP.TXT
- =========
-
- This file contains information about problems that may occur
- while running Windows Setup and describes problems that can
- occur when using terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs
- or drivers with Windows or Windows Setup. If you are using
- a TSR or if you encounter problems setting up Windows version
- 3.1, read this document BEFORE running Setup again.
-
-
- General Setup Notes
- ====================
- This section includes notes on specific system configurations
- that may prevent Setup from installing Windows successfully.
- A solution to each problem is provided.
-
- If you are using a hardware or software product listed here,
- follow the proposed recommendations before running Setup.
-
-
- MS-DOS Screen Savers
- ---------------------
- If you are using an MS-DOS screen saver, you should disable
- it before running Setup. These screen savers can cause problems
- when running Setup.
-
-
- COMPAQ Computer with MS-DOS Version 5.0 and EGA or VGA
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- If you are using the upgrade version of Microsoft MS-DOS
- 5.0, check your CONFIG.SYS file to make sure the following
- drivers appear in this order:
-
- HIMEM.SYS
- EMM386.EXE
- ANSI.SYS
-
- Note: If you are using the COMPAQ version of MS-DOS 5.0,
- HIMEM.EXE is used in place of HIMEM.SYS and CEMM.EXE
- is used in place of EMM386.EXE.
-
- If ANSI.SYS is loaded before HIMEM.SYS or EMM386.EXE (or if
- you are using COMPAQ MS-DOS 5.0 before HIMEM.EXE or CEMM.EXE),
- Setup may restart your system before Windows is installed.
- Also, if you are using the DOS=HIGH,UMB command line to load
- MS-DOS into upper memory, loading EMM386.EXE (or CEMM.EXE)
- before loading ANSI.SYS will create the maximum amount of
- upper memory space on a COMPAQ computer.
-
-
- AT&T Safari Computer
- --------------------
- If you have an AT&T Safari computer, you cannot maintain two
- versions of Windows (version 3.0 and version 3.1) on your
- system. You must upgrade over version 3.0. If you set up
- Windows 3.1 in its own directory, Windows will not use the
- special drivers required for it to run on the Safari computer.
-
-
- Using the TIGA Display Driver
- -------------------------------
- If you are using the TIGA display driver, you must load the
- TIGACD.EXE MS-DOS driver manually before running Setup
- to upgrade Windows. Otherwise, Windows will not upgrade
- your system properly.
-
- After successfully setting up Windows, you can increase the
- amount of conventional memory available to non-Windows
- applications when Windows is running in 386 enhanced mode
- by loading TIGACD.EXE from the WINSTART.BAT file. The
- WINSTART.BAT file runs only in 386 enhanced mode. If you
- want to run Windows in standard mode, you must load
- TIGACD.EXE manually. For more information, see the README.WRI
- online document.
-
-
- Displays That Are Incompatible with Windows Version 3.1
- -------------------------------------------------------
- Certain display adapters can cause problems with Windows
- version 3.1. The most serious problem is a system
- failure while running Windows Setup. If you encounter this
- problem, run Custom Setup, and then select one of the standard
- display types, such as VGA, provided with Windows version 3.1.
-
- With other display drivers, Windows may be set up successfully
- but TrueType fonts may not appear correctly on your screen.
- An updated driver may be available in the Windows Driver
- Library or from your display vendor or manufacturer. For
- information about obtaining the Windows Driver Library,
- see "Getting Started with Microsoft Windows."
-
- The following display adapters may cause problems:
-
- - ATI Graphics Ultra and Vantage
-
- NOTE: These adapters are 8514/a-compatible and run well
- with the 8514/a driver provided with Windows 3.1.
-
- - All DGIS display adapters (Direct Graphics Interface Standard)
- from Graphic Software Systems, including the following:
- NEC MultiSynch Graphics Engine (MGE)
- Zenith Z-649
- HP IGC-10, IGC-20
- GSS 1000 Series
-
- NOTE: Some DGIS-based adapters are TIGA-compatible and
- run well when used with the appropriate TIGACD.EXE
- MS-DOS driver and with the TIGA driver provided with
- Windows 3.1.
-
- - HP Ultra VGA
- - IBM Image Adapter/A
- - Matrox MG Series/M-WIN Series
- - Palettized VGA 640x480, 16-color (provided with Windows
- Multimedia Extensions version 1.0)
- - Radius SVGA MultiView
-
- - All RGDI (Renaissance Graphics Device Interface) display
- adapters from Appian, Inc., including the following:
- Appian Rendition II, IIe, II/XE, and III
- Appian GV1024
- Decpc 433
-
- - All S3 adapters, including the following:
- Orchid Fahrenheit 1280
- STB WIND/X
- Diamond Stealth VRAM
-
-
- Using Stacker
- -------------
- If you are using Stacker to compress your hard disk, there are
- certain steps you need to take before setting up Windows.
-
- * If you want to use a swap file with Windows, you must
- set up the swap file on the uncompressed drive. When
- setting up Stacker, you can leave at least 1 megabyte (MB)
- of disk space uncompressed for storing system files. To
- leave enough space for the swap file, it is recommended
- that the amount of uncompressed disk space equal at least
- twice the amount of system memory. For example, if your
- system has 4 MB of memory, you should leave at least 8 MB
- of disk space uncompressed.
-
- If Stacker is already set up on your system and there is not
- enough uncompressed disk space for a swap file, you can run
- the STAC utility provided with Stacker to increase the amount
- of uncompressed disk space. For more information, see your
- Stacker documentation.
-
- * If you are using Stacker version 2.0 or later, Windows Setup
- modifies your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. When Setup
- is finished making the modifications, it displays a message
- at the end of the Windows portion of Setup notifying you of
- the modifications. If you have used Stacker to swap your
- startup drive, when you restart your system Stacker will
- ask whether you want to update to the new version of the
- CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file. It is recommended that you
- update.
-
- If you are using a version of Stacker earlier than 2.0, you
- may need to modify your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files
- yourself. For more information, see "Modifying Your CONFIG.SYS
- and AUTOEXEC.BAT Files Yourself," following this topic.
-
- * For best performance, do not use SMARTDrive to cache the
- compressed drive. You only need to cache the uncompressed
- drive. You can include options on the SMARTDRV.EXE line of
- the CONFIG.SYS file to specify which drives to cache.
-
- For example, if the Stacker swap utility swaps drives C and
- D so that C is compressed and D is uncompressed, you would
- include the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- device=\windows\smartdrv.exe C- D+
-
- For more information about swap files and using SMARTDrive, see
- Chapter 14, "Optimizing Windows," in the "Microsoft Windows User's
- Guide."
-
-
- Modifying Your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT Files Yourself
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- When you set up Windows, Setup usually places the HIMEM.SYS,
- SMARTDRV.EXE, and EMM386.EXE files in the Windows directory.
- If the Windows directory is on a disk that is not available
- when you start your computer, such as a removable or nonlocal
- disk, or if Setup detects one of the following conditions,
- Setup does not modify the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- - Your boot drive has been modified by a disk-compression
- utility.
-
- - Your CONFIG.SYS file contains references to block device
- drivers.
-
- - There is not enough available space on your hard disk to
- copy the files.
-
- - The files are already installed on your system and Setup
- cannot overwrite them (they are read-only).
-
- Instead, Setup writes proposed changes to the CONFIG.WIN and
- AUTOEXEC.WIN or the CONFIG.00x and AUTOEXEC.00x files.
- In this case, you must either move the HIMEM.SYS, SMARTDRV.EXE,
- and EMM386.EXE files to a drive that is available when you start
- your computer, or use a text editor to modify your CONFIG.SYS or
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that any references to HIMEM.SYS,
- SMARTDRV.EXE, and EMM386.EXE appear after the device=
- command line used to load the drivers for your disk drives. Refer
- to the CONFIG.WIN and AUTOEXEC.WIN or the CONFIG.00x and
- AUTOEXEC.00x files for the proposed changes.
-
-
- Setting Up XGA on a PS/2 Model 75 or 90
- -----------------------------------------------------
- If you have a PS/2 model 75 or 90 with an XGA, Windows
- Setup will configure the display adapter for 16-color,
- 640x480 resolution. Do not change this configuration
- during Setup. Specifying a different XGA configuration
- while setting up Windows may cause Setup to fail.
-
- After you have successfully installed Windows, you can
- configure your XGA to use a different resolution or 256 colors,
- if your monitor supports it. For more information on how to do
- this, see the topic "IBM XGA" in the README.WRI online
- document.
-
- If you are using the plasma screen on the PS/2 model 75, use
- ONLY the 640x480, 16-color configuration. If you change this
- configuration, you will be returned to the MS-DOS prompt when
- you try to start Windows.
-
-
- Correcting the "Out of Environment Space" Error Message
- -------------------------------------------------------
- If you receive an "out of environment space" message when
- starting Windows, you can either:
-
- * Increase the size of your environment by adding the SHELL=
- command line to your CONFIG.SYS file. See your MS-DOS
- documentation for more information about the SHELL command
- and modifying your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- * Move the SET commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- to the beginning of the file so that they run before the
- commands that load terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR)
- programs or drivers, such as SMARTDrive.
-
-
- If Windows Setup Does Not Detect Your Network
- ---------------------------------------------
- If you have a network installed and Setup specifies "No
- Network" in the System-Information screen, Setup is not
- able to detect your network. For Setup to detect certain
- networks, the directory that contains the network program
- files must be included in your path.
-
- This is a known problem with these networks: 3Share, 3Open,
- LAN Manager, and MSNet. If your path does not include the
- directory where the network files are located, you can either:
-
- * Add the directory to the PATH line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file.
-
- * Run Custom Setup and specify the full path for your
- network in the System-Information screen.
-
-
- Using Terminate-and-Stay-Resident (TSR) Programs and Drivers
- with Windows Version 3.1
- =============================================================
-
- The Program Listing section of this document lists several
- terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs and drivers that
- are known to cause problems when running with Windows version
- 3.1. Some of the problems you may encounter include system
- failures or an incorrect display of information on your screen.
- In some cases, special steps are provided to solve the problems.
-
- While setting up Windows version 3.1, Windows Setup searches
- the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files for references to TSR
- programs and drivers, in addition to scanning memory for TSRs
- that are currently running. If Setup detects a TSR that is
- known to cause problems when running with Windows version 3.1,
- a message appears, asking whether you want to continue or quit
- Setup.
-
- If you receive such a message, do the following:
-
- 1. Locate your TSR in the Program Listing section of this document
- and use the information to determine if the situation encountered
- prevents Windows Setup from successfully installing Windows 3.1.
-
- 2. If the situation does not affect Windows Setup, you can continue
- setting up Windows 3.1 by following the instructions on your
- screen.
-
- If the situation does affect Windows Setup and prevents it from
- installing Windows on your computer, follow the instructions
- on the screen to quit Setup, and then complete the following
- steps.
-
- 3. Quit the TSR and remove all references to it from your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. For more information,
- see the documentation for your TSR.
-
- 4. Restart your computer.
-
- 5. Run Windows Setup again.
-
- After Windows is successfully set up, you may want to restore
- your TSRs.
-
- Not all TSRs or drivers included in the Program Listing section
- are detected by Setup. The TSRs and drivers that Setup detects
- are in the SETUP.INF file, listed under the names "incomptsr1"
- and "incomptsr2".
-
-
- Program Listing
- ===============
- This section describes some problems, discovered during testing,
- that you might encounter while using a TSR with Windows version 3.1.
- It does not include all possible problems that can occur.
-
- 386MAX
- ------
- The documentation for 386MAX recommends against setting the
- EXT parameter below 64. If you set this parameter to 0, Windows
- Setup and Windows running in standard mode will fail.
-
- See the README.WRI online document for more information
- about running 386MAX with Windows 3.1.
-
- 386MAX Disk-Cache Utility (QCACHE.EXE)
- --------------------------------------
- Do not use this disk-cache utility simultaneously with SMARTDrive.
- There is no reason to use two disk-cache utilities with Windows.
- It is recommended that you use SMARTDrive, which is installed
- with Windows 3.1, instead.
-
- All Charge 386 Version 3.1
- --------------------------
- ALLEMM4.SYS is a memory manager that causes problems with
- Setup and Windows 3.1. If you encounter problems running
- this program with Windows, it is recommended that you use
- EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS, provided with Windows 3.1, to
- manage memory instead.
-
- Anarkey Version 4.00
- --------------------
- With some memory configurations, Anarkey version 4.00 running
- with Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode may cause unpredictable
- system failures. In rare cases, this program can also corrupt
- hard-disk data. In addition, Windows 3.1 might not start when
- this program is running.
-
- Do not run Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode when Anarkey version
- 4.00 is running. Version 4.01 may correct these problems. Contact
- Moderne Software for a free upgrade of Anarkey 4.01.
-
- Anarkey Version 4.01
- --------------------
- If Anarkey version 4.01 is loaded before starting Windows in
- standard mode, it is not available in any MS-DOS Prompt that
- you start from Windows. In this case, it is recommended that
- you load Anarkey from each MS-DOS Prompt, as needed.
-
- Do not load Anarkey HIGH before starting Windows in 386
- enhanced mode. If you load Anarkey HIGH, your system may
- fail when you try to start an application.
-
- APPEND (MS-DOS)
- ---------------
- Do not use the APPEND utility with Windows 3.1. It prevents
- Windows and Windows applications from creating valid
- Well-Formed-Path (WFP) names for the files they are using.
- (A WFP is the complete name of a file, including the drive
- letter and full path specification, starting from the root
- directory.)
-
- ASP Integrity Toolkit Version 3.7
- ---------------------------------
- This product is a virus-protection program that can cause
- problems when running Windows Setup, including system
- failure, automatic restarting of the system, and the inability
- to use the keyboard. You should turn off protection in the
- toolkit before setting up Windows 3.1. For information about
- how to do this, see your ASP Integrity documentation.
-
- NOTE: Setting up Windows is considered a system-administration
- task. The ASP Integrity Toolkit documentation instructs
- you to turn off protection when performing these types
- of tasks.
-
- Autocon Version 2.0e
- --------------------
- Autocon enables you to select up to fifty different configurations
- when starting your system. To do this, it modifies the CONFIG.SYS
- and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, based on information in its database
- (AUTOCON.DAT), when you restart your system from within
- AUTOCON.
-
- Windows Setup modifies only the first section in the CONFIG.SYS
- and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. If you want to use specific configurations
- with Windows, you must run Autocon and then manually edit the
- configurations in the database that you want to use. You must do
- this after setting up Windows. For your changes to take effect,
- you must restart your system from within Autocon. For more
- information, see your Autocon documentation.
-
- Bootcon Version 1.60
- --------------------
- Using Bootcon, you can maintain different system-configuration
- information in your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. You can
- then select the configuration you want to use from a menu when
- starting your system.
-
- Windows Setup modifies only the first section in the CONFIG.SYS
- and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. You must edit the sections of those files
- that contain the configurations you want to use after you set up
- Windows. For more information, see your Bootcon documentation.
-
- BOOT.SYS
- ---------
- Using BOOT.SYS, you can maintain different system-configuration
- information in your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. You can
- then select the configuration you want to use from a menu when
- starting your system.
-
- Windows Setup modifies only the first section in the CONFIG.SYS
- and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. You must edit the sections of those files
- that contain the configurations you want to use after you set
- up Windows. For more information, see your BOOT.SYS documentation.
-
-
- CACHE.EXE Disk-Cache Utility
- ----------------------------
- Do not use two disk-cache utilities with Windows 3.1. It is
- recommended that you use SMARTDrive, provided with Windows 3.1,
- and remove all references to other disk-cache utilities from
- your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. (If CACHE.EXE is detected,
- Setup removes it from the CONFIG.SYS file for you.)
-
- CACHE.SYS Disk-Cache Utility
- ----------------------------
- This disk-cache utility will not work properly with SMARTDrive.
- It is recommended that you use SMARTDrive, provided with
- Windows 3.1, and remove all references to other disk-cache
- utilities from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. (If
- CACHE.SYS is detected, Setup removes it from the CONFIG.SYS file
- for you.)
-
- CED Version 1.0e
- ----------------
- Using CED with Windows 3.1 may cause problems, including
- system failure. It is recommended that you do not use CED
- with Windows 3.1.
-
- Central Point Anti-Virus Version 1.1 (VSAFE.COM/VSAFE.SYS)
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- VSAFE.COM/VSAFE.SYS should not be loaded when you set up
- Windows 3.1. Otherwise, Setup may not run properly. After
- you set up Windows 3.1, you can load VSAFE.
-
- Because Windows uses the disk for memory swapping, you should
- turn off the VSAFE write-protection option when running Windows.
- For more information, see the Central Point Anti-Virus
- documentation.
-
- CMDEDIT.COM Version 2.0 (Date 12-6-91)
- --------------------------------------
- If this command-line editor is loaded before starting Windows,
- it may cause a General Protection Fault when running multiple MS-
- DOS Prompts in 386 enhanced mode. Also, it cannot be loaded
- from an MS-DOS Prompt within Windows when Windows is
- running in standard mode.
-
- Cubit Version 3.01
- ------------------
- When using Cubit with Windows 3.1, do not compress the
- Windows SYSTEM directory or any file that is loaded from
- the CONFIG.SYS file. Compressing these files could cause
- problems.
-
- Before upgrading to Windows 3.1, make sure that the earlier
- version of Windows is uncompressed on your hard disk. You
- may recompress the files after you have successfully set up
- Windows 3.1.
-
- Data Physician Plus Version 2.0 (VirALERT)
- ------------------------------------------
- It is recommended that you do not set up Windows while
- VirALERT is running. If you do, VirALERT will display a
- warning message every few seconds while Setup is running.
-
- After you have set up Windows, you can run VirALERT. Press
- ALT+V to display the VirALERT menu. You can use the commands
- on this menu to disable and enable VirALERT.
-
- DOSCUE.COM Command-Line Editor
- ------------------------------
- The DOSCUE command-line editor produces unexpected results
- when used with Windows version 3.1. It is recommended that you
- do not use this editor with Windows 3.1.
-
- Doubledisk Version 2.5
- ----------------------
- Windows 3.1 may try to access "phantom" disk drives if you use
- Doubledisk with Windows 3.1. Phantom drives occur when you
- use Doubledisk to create a compressed drive. For example, if you
- have drives A, B, and C on your computer and you use Doubledisk
- to create drive F, Windows 3.1 (and MS-DOS) recognize drives D
- and E as valid drives, even though they do not actually exist. You
- can use the DRVOFF utility to prevent Windows from recognizing
- phantom drives. Contact Vertisoft to order a copy of the DRVOFF
- utility.
-
- FASTOPEN (MS-DOS)
- -----------------
- FASTOPEN is a RAM resident utility. Problems involving the
- file allocation table (FAT) may occur if FASTOPEN is used
- together with disk de-fragmenting utilities. In low-memory
- situations, you may need to remove FASTOPEN for Windows
- 3.1 to run properly.
-
- Flash Disk-Cache Utility (FLASH.EXE)
- -------------------------------------
- Do not use this disk-cache utility simultaneously with SMARTDrive.
- There is no reason to use two disk-cache utilities with Windows.
- It is recommended that you use SMARTDrive, which is installed with
- Windows 3.1, instead.
-
- Graphics (MS-DOS)
- -----------------
- Loading Graphics from an MS-DOS Prompt within Windows can cause
- unexpected results when printing. The active MS-DOS Prompt will
- send its output to the printer. Switching between MS-DOS Prompts
- may result in mixed printing jobs.
-
- HPEMM386.SYS and HPEMM486.SYS
- -----------------------------
- These expanded-memory managers are incompatible with Windows
- when it is running in 386 enhanced mode. If you plan on running
- Windows in 386 enhanced mode, it is recommended that you use
- EMM386.EXE to manage memory instead.
-
- HPMM.SYS - HP Memory Manager
- ----------------------------
- When HPMM.SYS is running, you cannot set up Windows 3.1 or
- run it in standard mode. You should remove all references to
- HPMM.SYS from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files before
- setting up Windows 3.1.
-
- Hyperdisk Disk-Cache Utility
- ----------------------------
- Do not use this disk-cache utility simultaneously with SMARTDrive.
- There is no reason to use two disk-cache utilities with Windows.
- It is recommended that you use SMARTDrive, which is installed with
- Windows 3.1, instead.
-
- IBM VDISK.SYS (RAM Disk Utility)
- --------------------------------
- VDISK.SYS is incompatible with Windows because it occupies
- extended memory required to run Windows. This utility prevents
- any XMS-compatible memory manager from loading.
-
- IEMM.SYS Memory Manager
- -----------------------
- The IEMM.SYS memory manager is incompatible with Windows.
- It is recommended that you remove all references to IEMM.SYS
- from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files and use
- EMM386.EXE, provided with Windows 3.1, to manage memory
- instead.
-
- ICACHE.SYS Disk-Cache Utility
- -----------------------------
- Do not use two disk-cache utilities with Windows version
- 3.1. It is recommended that you use SMARTDrive, provided with
- Windows 3.1, and remove all references to other disk-cache
- utilities from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. (If
- ICACHE.SYS is detected, Setup removes it from the CONFIG.SYS
- file for you.)
-
- IBMCACHE.SYS Disk-Cache Utility
- -------------------------------
- Do not use two disk-cache utilities with Windows version
- 3.1. It is recommended that you use SMARTDrive, provided with
- Windows 3.1, and remove all references to other disk-cache
- utilities from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. (If
- IBMCACHE.SYS is detected, Setup removes it from the CONFIG.SYS
- file for you.)
-
- Intel Expanded-Memory Emulator (ILIM386.SYS)
- --------------------------------------------
- The ILIM386.SYS expanded-memory emulator, provided with the
- Intel Inboard/386 product, is incompatible with Windows 3.1.
- It is recommended that you remove all references to this emulator
- from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files before setting
- up Windows 3.1.
-
- JOIN (MS-DOS)
- -------------
- Do not add or remove "joined" drives while running Windows 3.1.
- If you use the JOIN command before starting Windows 3.1 and
- do not change the state of the joined drives from an MS-DOS
- Prompt within Windows, Windows 3.1 will work properly.
- It is recommended that you do not use joined drives at all if
- you plan on running Windows.
-
- KBFLOW TSR by Artisoft
- ----------------------
- If you load the KBFLOW TSR utility provided by Artisoft
- before starting Windows 3.1, your system may fail when
- starting or using an MS-DOS Prompt from within Windows.
-
- KEYB.COM (MS-DOS)
- -----------------
- If you use command-line options to load KEYB.COM, it is
- recommended that you load it before starting Windows.
- After it is loaded, you can change the keyboard configuration
- from an MS-DOS Prompt within Windows any time. If you do not
- load KEYB.COM before starting windows, you may encounter
- problems using a KEYB command that includes an option in an
- MS-DOS Prompt. However, you can use the KEYB command without
- options at any time to display code-page information.
-
- Lansight Version 2.0
- --------------------
- Lansight is a utility that you can use to control and monitor
- other workstations attached to a Novell network. In some cases,
- version 2.0 of Lansight may cause the workstation running
- Windows 3.1 to fail.
-
- Lasertool Control Panel Version 2.2
- ------------------------------------
- If you load version 2.2 of the Lasertool Control Panel
- program (PCPANEL.EXE) from Windows 3.1, your system may fail.
- This program works properly if you load it before starting
- Windows.
-
- Le Menu Version 1.0
- -------------------
- When using Le Menu version 1.0 with Windows 3.1, environment
- information such as PATH, PROMPT and WINDIR may be lost
- if you start an MS-DOS Prompt from within Windows. If you
- want to start Windows 3.1 by using a Le Menu menu command,
- it is recommended that you set up Windows 3.1 as a Batch-File
- menu command so that COMMAND.COM will load before starting
- Windows 3.1. For more information, see your Le Menu documentation.
-
- LOCKIT Version 3.3 (PC Vault, Secure It)
- ----------------------------------------
- Version 3.3 of these programs strip out spaces from the load=
- command line in the WIN.INI file. Later versions may correct
- this problem.
-
- Logitech Mouse Software Version 5.0/6.0 (CLICK, LOGIMENU)
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- If you want to use CLICK and LOGIMENU from an MS-DOS
- Prompt within Windows, you must load the TSRs from that
- MS-DOS Prompt, even if you loaded the TSRs before starting
- Windows. When you quit Windows, you must reload the TSRs
- for them to work properly from the MS-DOS prompt outside of
- Windows, even if you loaded them from an MS-DOS Prompt within
- Windows.
-
- Mace Disk-Cache Utility (MCACHE.SYS)
- ------------------------------------
- This disk-cache utility will not work properly with SMARTDrive.
- It is recommended that you use SMARTDrive, provided with Windows 3.1,
- and remove all references to other disk-cache utilities from your
- CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. (If Mace is detected, Setup
- removes it from the CONFIG.SYS file for you.)
-
-
- Maximizer Memory Manager (MAXIMIZE.COM)
- ---------------------------------------
- If you are using the Maximizer memory manager, you may not be able
- to set up or start Windows. Make sure that you are using only one
