GENERAL
=======
Dual booting using F4 is now turned on by default only if you install to
a clean directory. If you install to a clean directory, Setup will add
BootMulti=1 to the [options] section of your MSDOS.SYS file (hidden text
file in the root of your boot drive).
 
NOTE: There are known problems if you have configured your system for
"F4/F8" dual boot between MS-DOS/Win 3.x and Windows 95, and then
upgrade your Windows 95 directory to a newer version of Windows 95:
Your Windows 3.x swapfile will show up as corrupted on your next boot
into Win 3.x, and a number of files in your MS-DOS directory will be
deleted (see section below on "Previous MS-DOS Files"). You can
work-around the corrupt swapfile problem by setting up a working
permanent swapfile in Windows 3.x, and then adding the following lines
to the [386enh] section of your Windows 95 SYSTEM.INI file:
 
   PagingFile=<Win_3.x_PagingFile>
   MinPagingFileSize=<Size_KB>
 
Where:
   Win_3.x_PagingFile is usually C:\386SPART.PAR
   Size_KB is the size of Win_3.x_PagingFile divided by 1024
 
SETUP
=====
(Also read SETUP.TXT for additional details about Setup)
 
Installing Windows 95
---------------------
Setup should be run from Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups 3.x, or
Windows 95 (Beta 2 and higher). Setup should be run from MS-DOS only
if there is no working version of Windows on the machine.
 
From the CD-ROM, run SETUP.EXE in the WIN95 directory.
 
From floppy disks, run SETUP.EXE on disk 1.
Note that Windows 95 uses Microsoft's new Distribution Media Format
(DMF) which allows more data to be stored on each disk. Normal
MS-DOS disk commands (COPY, DISKCOPY, etc.) will not work on
disks 2 and above. You can use the EXTRACT utility on disk 1 to
extract files from DMF Disks, or to copy the .CAB files from the
disks to your hard disk (type EXTRACT /? for instructions).
 
Beta ID and Password are no longer required during Setup.
 
Installing Windows 95 over Windows NT
-------------------------------------
If you are multi-booting MS-DOS and Windows NT, boot to MS-DOS, and
run Setup from either MS-DOS or Windows 3.x.  You will not be able to
install Windows 95 to a directory with a shared Windows 3.x/Windows
Windows NT configuration, you will need to install Windows 95 to a
different
directory.
 
If you are not multi-booting MS-DOS and Windows NT, you should
configure your machine to multi-boot MS-DOS and Windows NT first, and
then follow the instructions above.
 
If you boot MS-DOS from a floppy and run Setup, you will no longer be
able to boot Windows NT (however, you can restore Windows NT by
booting from the Windows NT boot/repair disk, and selecting the
"Repair" option).
 
Installing Windows 95 over OS/2
-------------------------------
Setup will not run on OS/2. You will need to boot to MS-DOS and run
Setup from the MS-DOS prompt.
 
If you are using OS/2 Boot Manager to choose operating systems at
startup, Setup will disable Boot Manager to insure that Windows 95 can
reboot the system and complete its installation. Boot Manager can be
reactivated by booting with an OS/2 boot disk and using the OS/2
FDISK utility.
 
If you are not using Boot Manager, you should configure your machine
to use Boot Manager, and then follow the instructions above.
 
If you boot MS-DOS from a floppy and run Setup, you will no longer be
able to boot OS/2 after Windows 95 has been installed. You will need to
delete the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files that OS/2 uses before
running Windows 95 Setup.
 
Installing Optional Components After Windows 95 is Installed
------------------------------------------------------------
Optional components can now be added/removed after Windows 95 is installed
without re-running Setup. The "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel has a
"Windows Setup" tab that will let you add and remove optional components
from
inside Windows 95. Note that uninstall for some of the components is not
supported in this release. In these cases, once the component has been
installed, it will no longer show up in the list in the Control Panel page.
 
Known Setup Problems
--------------------
- You may receive a blue-screen error when Setup reboots the machine
  that warns:
    "The volume that was removed had open files on it.
     Next time please check first to see if the volume
     can really be removed."
  This is a known problem, and the warning can safely be ignored.
 
- If you receive a General Protection Fault in SUWIN.EXE after
  creating a Startup disk, you will need to restart your
  machine, and skip making the Startup Disk.
 
- If Setup gets stuck while "Performing a routine check" at the
  beginning of Setup, there are two work-arounds
  (In either case, please report the problem):
     1. If running from Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups, make
   sure that you don't have "Exclusive in Foreground" checked
   in the "386 Enhanced" Control Panel.
     2. If the above is not the case, you can re-run Setup using with
   the command "Setup /is" to disable the system check.
 
- If you run Setup from Windows 95 Beta 2, you will not be prompted to
  create a Startup Disk during Setup.  You can create a Startup Disk
  after you have installed the Final Beta by going the "Startup Disk"
  tab in the "Add-Remove Programs" Control Panel.
 
- Installing Windows 95 on a 4Mb or 386 machine from floppy disks may be
very
  slow, and you may see some screen repaint problems or spurious warnings
  that existing files on your machine are newer than the files in
  Windows 95.  To avoid or workaround these problems:
     * Run Setup from inside of Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups.
       Avoid running Setup from MS-DOS--this will make all problems worse.
     * If you receive warnings about files on your system being newer than
       those on Windows 95, select to *replace* the existing files.
     * If you are running disk compression like DriveSpace or DoubleSpace,
       Setup may be very slow.  You might consider copying the files on the
       floppy disks to a temporary directory on your hard disk, and then
       running Setup from your hard disk.  To copy files from Disks 2-12,
       you will need to use the EXTRACT command on Disk 1 to copy the
       WIN95_xx.CAB files to your hard disk, since they are in Microsoft's
       new Distribution Media Format (DMF) and normal MS-DOS commands like
       COPY and XCOPY won't work on these floppies.
       To copy a .CAB file from a floppy disk to your hard disk,
       use the following command:
                   EXTRACT /C A:WIN95_xx.CAB C:\<TempDir>
       where <TempDir> is the location of a temporary directory on your
       hard disk.
 
Previous MS-DOS Files
---------------------
If you upgrade over a previous version of Windows 3.x, Setup will
delete a number of files from your old MS-DOS directory to free
up disk space and remove utilities that have been replaced by
the Windows 95 versions in the Windows and Windows\Command folders.
 
The following files will be deleted from the old MS-DOS directory:
ansi.sys
attrib.exe
chkdsk.exe
choice.com
country.sys
debug.exe
defrag.exe
deltree.exe
diskcopy.com
display.sys
doskey.com
drvspace.bin
dblspace.bin
drvspace.exe
dblspace.exe
drvspace.sys
dblspace.sys
edit.com
edit.hlp
ega.cpi
fc.exe
fdisk.exe
find.exe
format.com
keyb.com
keyboard.sys
label.exe
mem.exe
mode.com
more.com
move.exe
mscdex.exe
nlsfunc.exe
scandisk.exe
scandisk.ini
share.exe
sort.exe
start.exe
subst.exe
sys.com
xcopy.exe
emm386.exe
help.com
help.hlp
msd.exe
networks.txt
os2.txt
ramdrive.sys
readme.txt
setver.exe
smartdrv.exe
 
Note: if you install Windows 95 to a new directory, these files will
not be deleted, so you will still be able to dual boot. However, in that
case, files pertaining to DblSpace, DrvSpace, Defrag and ScanDisk will be
renamed and replaced with BAT files that tell you to run the Windows 95
version
of these utilities. You will still be able to dual-boot, but you will
need to run these utilities from within Windows 95 (though you can still
run the Windows 95 version of SCANDISK.EXE from within MS-DOS 5 or higher).
 
PLUG & PLAY
===========
 
IBM Thinkpad Dock II
--------------------
Users of the IBM Thinkpad Dock II must disable the BIOS for the Adaptec
1530P SCSI controller in the docking station prior to booting while
docked, or you will encounter repetitive hangs. This controller works
fine in protected mode even without the BIOS enabled, so you should not
lose access to any SCSI devices as a result.
 
Steps to disable the BIOS:
  a) Boot while docked.
  b) Press Ctrl-A to enter the Adaptec SCSISelect utility.
  c) Choose "Configure/View Host Adapter Settings"
  d) Choose "Advanced Configuration Options"
  e) Set "Host Adapter BIOS" to "Disabled"
 
Press Esc to back out until asked to exit the utility, at which point
the machine will reboot.
 
Micron M5-PI series
--------------------
BEFORE INSTALLING WINDOWS 95, users of Micron M5-PI series (P-60, P-66)
need to be sure the BIOS read/write jumper(W22) is set to the read only
position Setting up with this jumper in the read\write position may cause
BIOS corruption during the Windows 95 installation. Contact Micron
Technologies at (208) 465-3434 for more information.
 
NEC Versa M
AT&T Globalyst
---------------
Users of AT&T Globalyst and NEC Versa M must set the BIOS setting for
PCMCIA Power to ENABLED before running the PC Card (PCMCIA) wizard to
enable the Windows 95 PCMCIA support. The default on these notebooks is
disabled. To set it to enabled, restart your PC and when the cursor changes
to a rectangle hit the F1 key. When the BIOS configuration program is
ready, select Power, then change PCMCIA Power from disabled to enabled and
save these settings.
 
Toshiba T2400CS and T2400CT
Toshiba Portege T3600
--------------------------
On these machines you must install Windows 95 from MS-DOS. To get
to an MS-DOS prompt, Restart your computer and press F8 as soon as
you see the Starting Windows... message appear. When prompted,
select the Command prompt only option. Once at the command prompt
you can run the windows 95 setup.
 
After installing Windows 95, The Toshiba T2400 and T3600's may
display a message during startup indicating that Windows cannot find a
device file needed to run Windows.
 
This message is not a problem. You can press a key to continue and
ignore the message. To avoid seeing this message again, download the file
TOSHFIX.EXE from the CompuServe forum, contact your beta support team
or contact your local subsidiary as appropriate.
 
To run the TOSHFIX program click the Start menu, and then click Shut Down.
Choose the Restart The Computer In MS-DOS Mode option, and then click Yes.
At the command prompt, run the TOSHFIX.EXE file, and then restart your
computer again.
 
Compaq Deskpro XL PCI with built-in EtherNet
--------------------------------------------
Prior to installing Windows 95 on this machine, you must download the file
CPQFIX.EXE from the CompuServe forum, contact your beta support team
or contact your local subsidiary as appropriate.
 
If you have this machine, you are likely to encounter network errors
during Setup. These errors can be ignored and will not reoccur after
finishing this procedure.
 
After your Windows 95 installation is complete, click the Start menu,
and then click Shut Down. Choose the Restart The Computer In MS-DOS Mode
option, and then click Yes. At the command prompt, run the CPQFIX.EXE file,
and then restart your computer.
 
Winbook XP
-----------
There is a problem on the Winbook XP which could cause the keyboard
not to function properly. The workaround for this problem is to disable
Windows 95's power status polling. This can be using the following steps.
Open the System Control Panel and select the device manager tab.
Expand the system class by clicking on the plus sign. Double click on the
Advanced Power Management Support entry. Pick the settings tab and check
the box labeled Disable power status polling. Be sure to close down the
open control panel windows by clicking the OK buttons.
 
HP OmniBook
-----------
The Omnibook's PCMCIA controller is not supported in this beta. The
Windows 3.1 PCMCIA drivers should work fine with Windows 95.
The OmniBook also requires a special mouse driver for Windows.  Windows 95
Setup will preserve & use this when upgrading over Windows 3.1.  If
you installed Windows 95 into a new directory on an OmniBook, then
you must copy HP's OBMOUSE.DRV file into the Windows \system directory,
and change the following lines in SYSTEM.INI:
 
   [boot]
   mouse.drv=obmouse.drv
 
   [386Enh]
   mouse=*vmd
 
Printing from the Device Manager
--------------------------------
When in Device Manager if you choose print "all devices and system
summary", the device detection code **may** cause problems for DOS
programs. The symptom is that when you try to run an MS-DOS program, it
reports out of memory. Most machines do not show this behavior but to
ensure you do not experience this problem, be sure to close all MS-DOS
applications before printing this report.
 
BASE
====
- Mitsumi miniport: A new version of the Mitsumi miniport is in the
  OTHER directory on the CD.  Please read the text file MTMMINIP.TXT
  and use this miniport, if you have a Mitsumi proprietary CD.
- SUBST: a Subst entry in AUTOEXEC.BAT is not picked up correctly in this
  release.  Just type in SUBST at a MS-DOS box and it should clear up the
  problem.
- The Adaptec 2940 has some problems with an NEC 4X SCSI CD. The problem
  is actually in the NEC CD and we hope to have a work around by ship time.
 
APPLETS
=======
Backup and some of the file viewers used by the Quickview feature
are NOT installed by default. To install these, use the Add/Remove
Programs utility in the control panel. Backup is under the Disk
Tools heading and file viewers are under the Accessories heading.
 
WordPad, Paint, Backup and HyperTerminal have been moved to their new
location under "\Program Files\Accessories" along with some of their
data files. Start Menu shortcuts have been updated to point to the new
location; Shell/OLE behavior should not be affected. Note that your
old HyperTerminal connection files have been moved to a folder
called "Old HyperTrm Folder (see release notes)" in your Windows
directory.
 
Wordpad, Known Problems:
- File/Print Preview may not accurately show the page layout
- Graphics may not be displayed with the correct colors
 
Paint, Known Problems:
- activating an embedding created with the Windows 3.x pbrush or Windows NT
3.x
  pbrush will not work
- the fill tool will not work correctly in some cases
- edit/paste of text will not work correctly in some cases
- edit/paste of an image which has more colors that the current display
  (i.e. 256 color image with 16 color display) will corrupt colors in
  some cases if pasted onto a like image (i.e. another 256 color image)
 
HyperTerminal, Known Problems:
- does not recognize when a PCMCIA modem is inserted if a session is open
- when receiving a file, does not know if disk is full
 
Backup, Known Problems:
- The backup applet does not work with all tape drives. If you load the
  applet and get a message that no tape drive has been detected, click
  on the help button to see a list of the tape drives which are supported.
  NOTE: QIC 3020 drives are not supported even though they are listed in
  the help.
- Backup may not work with old tapes which have been formatted with
previous
  versions of Backup. If you have old tapes, best to reformat them.
- If a tape is pulled before any operations are completed, backup may not
  work correctly and give unrelated warning messages. If this happens, just
  shut down and then restart backup.
- Do not attempt to do backup, restore, or compare operations between a
  tape drive connected to the floppy disk controller and a floppy disk.
- Do not attempt restore or compare using a backup set created with Windows
  NT Backup or the Conner Backup Exec as this will not work
- If you use the Bernoulli or SyTos/SyDos removable disks, do not make
  a backup which will take more than one disk.
- If you turn 32 bit disk access off or boot into Safe Mode, Trakker tape
  drives will not work.
- A Full System Restore will not restore the user preferences part of your
  registry.
- If you use the Full System Backup.set to create a backup file set, this
  set also includes a backup of your registry files. In Win 95, you can
  not reliably just copy your reg files for backup purposes, but rather
  must
  use a program to merge the files back together. Win 95 backup does this
  for you when you use the Full System Backup file set for a restore AND
  you keep the windows directory selected. NOTE that if you deselect the
  windows directory, you will get an error message at the end of the
  restore
  operation telling you an error occurred when restoring your registry. No
  error occurred and no changes are made to your registry in this case,
  this
  is a known problem.
- Making differential backup's is an advanced feature which we do not
  expect
  many novice or intermediate users to try.  To do this, you must
  take the following steps:
  a) select the files/directories, select the backup destination, select
     the differential option under Settings/Options/Backup, and then save
     this information in a file set using File/SaveAs.
  b) File/Open this file set and perform a backup. The first backup will
     be a reference backup and be a full backup.
  c) After the first backup, all backups made with this file set will be
     differential relative to the first one. Note that new files are not
     picked up in differential backups, only changes to the original files.
  d) If you want to make another full backup and start the cycle over, you
     will need to create another file set as in step a and then repeat
     steps b and c.
 
WinPopUp, Known Problems:
- You are unable to send messages to workgroups.
- If you are running an old version of WinPopUp with M8 you can generate a
  page fault.
 
MS-DOS & WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
=============================
 
Re-installing Applications
--------------------------
If you upgrade your existing Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups
directory to Windows 95 then you do not need to re-install your
applications. If you install Windows 95 to a new directory then you must re-
install all of your Windows-based applications. Hand copying files from
your Windows 3.1 directory to Windows 95 is not sufficient.
 
MS-DOS Applications
-------------------
Your existing MS-DOS applications should run from inside Windows 95. If you
experience severe problems with an MS-DOS program you can set it up to run
in an MS-DOS environment.
1) Create a shortcut to the MS-DOS program
2) Right click on the shortcut icon and select Properties.
3) When the property pages come up, go to the Program page.
4) On the Program page choose the Advanced... button.
5) Select the MS-DOS Mode check box.
 
When you run this application it will force the GUI portion of Windows 95
to
shut down and will run the program in an MS-DOS environment.  Please note
that you will not have access to devices that require protect mode drivers.
 
Notes on Specific DOS & Windows Applications
--------------------------------------------
Quickbooks - there is a problem in this release if you close Quickbooks
while it is minimized. If you do this it will not run correctly the
next time it is started. If you encounter this problem you should
delete the QBW.INI file in your Quickbooks directory. This will allow
Quickbooks to start again.
 
Several applications from the Learning Company will not function correctly
on this release of Windows 95. The problems are understood and will be
fixed in upcoming releases. The applications that will not run are:
Reader Rabbit 2 Deluxe (Windows CD), Reader Rabbit Interactive Reading
Journey, Reader Rabbit 1 Deluxe, and Treasure Mathstorm (Windows CD).
 
MSBACKUP/Norton Backup for MS-DOS:
There is currently a bug with either of these MS-DOS based backup tools
that causes the user to have to reconfigure their their settings each
time they re-enter Windows 95. To work around it, you  simply need to
reconfigure and run the backup/restore test. We will address this
problem for the final release.
 
PowerPoint v3 & 4 and Slide Sorter functionality:
There is an issue using the Slide Sorter View functionality with
Windows 95 and PowerPoint 3 and 4 (slides not rendered properly).
This will be addressed for the final release. To gain the same
functionality, instead of using Slide Sorter View, use the hierarchical
Outline View to re-adjust the order of your slides. To do this
you must:
1) Choose the Outline View when you open your slides (default setting).
2) Highlight the slide to be moved (presented numerically), and, having
   grabbed the icon of the slide (left mouse click then drag), move it
   up or down to the desired position (a horizontal line will denote
   the location of the slide in question).
3) Release the left mouse button, and the slide will be moved to the
   new position.
 
Magic Carpet and this release - Currently, there are two known problems
running this game on Windows 95. First, pressing the ENTER key repeatedly
causes the game to exit (similar to the  SHIFT+Q command). Also, on shut-
down
the games sometimes faults, requiring the user to "window" the MS-DOS
box (ALT+ENTER), and click on the "X" button on the toolbar in order to
close the MS-DOS box. Beyond this, have fun!
 
Microsoft Mail 3.2 and Microsoft Schedule+ - Microsoft Exchange is an
upgrade
to Microsoft Mail v3.2 and it replaces many of the older components. For
this
reason Microsoft Mail v3.2 will not function if you have installed
Microsoft
Exchange. Also, the existing version of Microsoft Schedule+ will not be
able to use Exchange to send email.
 
Any fonts that are not True Type (driver fonts and Adobe ATM fonts)
cannot be printed to printer drivers that are Windows version 1.0.
With a 1.0 printer driver selected only True Type fonts will be
displayed in the font list. WinFax Pro 4.0 is the only known shipping
application with a Windows 1.0 printer driver.
 
dBase 5.0 - You may see a fault when running the debugger in dBase 5.0.
This is due to an uninitialized variable in their code. This problem
will be worked around for the final release of Windows 95.
 
Some existing applications cannot handle the case where a UNC path name is
used to install the application (Lotus Notes is an example). For these
applications you should use a redirected drive letter instead of a UNC
path.
 
Windows 3.1 Shell Replacements - Most Windows 3.1 shell replacements
(such as Norton Desktop, PC Tools Desktop, Tabworks, etc.) will still
run on Windows 95 but with many limitations. You will need to upgrade
to a version that was designed to run on Windows 95.
 
Anti-Virus Software - Existing Anti-Virus software should be able
to detect, but not always clean viruses while running on Windows 95.
This depends on where the virus was found and how the program chose to
clean it. If you run into problems with your Anti-Virus software
you should contact the vendor for information on new releases that
are designed to run on Windows 95.
 
E-Mail Connection by ConnectSoft will not function correctly in this
release of Windows 95. You should contact ConnectSoft for information
about upgrades that are designed to run on Windows 95.
 
If you try to run Peachtree Accounting version 3.0 under Windows 95 and
see a divide-by-zero error message, you will need to obtain a patched
version from Peachtree Software.
 
If you run Adobe Photoshop and see an error message saying "Unable to
create font database," or if you see a General Protection Fault error
message, you will need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop.
For more information, Contact Adobe at (800) 833-6687.
 
Do not install IronClad on the same machine as Windows 95. The security
features of Ironclad create numerous problems for Windows 95.
 
Disk Utilities - Direct disk writes using Int 26h or Int 13h will fail
under
Windows 95. This is necessary in a multi-tasking environment to prevent
disk
corruption from multiple utilities running simultaneously. The LOCK and
UNLOCK commands can be used as work-arounds for DOS utilities if necessary.
Use caution with these commands because these old utilities can cause you
to lose long file names.
 
Freehand will not function with NetWare on this beta release of Windows 95.
If you try to run Freehand with NetWare you may see a General Protection
Fault. Windows 95 will work around these problems for the final release.
 
Blake Stone Aliens of Gold - This game requires COMMAND.COM to be present
while it is running. You may see errors if you try to launch it directly
from the Windows 95 shell. Instead, you should start an MS-DOS prompt
and launch the game from there.
 
Timeline - Running existing macros may not work in this release. Timeline
tries to use window handles that it has already freed and may cause an
error. Contact the vendor for information on program updates.
 
Nickelodeon Director's Lab may display some error messages at the end of
its setup program. You will need to close the setup program manually. This
does no harm because it has already finished installing Director's Lab.
After the setup program has added the new shortcuts, you may see a message
that says, "Setup Message: Script or DLL has been corrupted. Unable to load
dialog template: 'mscuistf.dll: 2'." If this message appears, carry out the
following procedure.
 - To close the Nickelodeon Director's Lab setup program
      1) Print or write down these instructions.
      2) Press CTRL+ALT+DEL.
      3) In the Close Program dialog box, click the Director's Lab setup
         program, and then click End Task.
      This closes the setup program and ends the error messages.
 
Running the Aris MPC Wizard with the Windows 95 display using more than
256 colors may cause a General Protection Fault. If this occurs, you will
need to run this program using 256 colors or less.
 
Micrologic TrueEffects for Windows does not function correctly under
Windows 95 because it uses Windows 3.1 internal system information. To
resolve this problem, contact Micrologic for an updated version of
TrueEffects.
 
Wired for Sound version 1.0 does not function correctly with Windows 95.
It was designed to work under Windows 3.1 and is too closely tied to that
operating system to function correctly with Windows 95. For information
about a version of this program that is designed for Windows 95, contact
your software vendor.
 
The WorldView CD-ROM by Aris Entertainment includes a modified version of
Microsoft Video for Windows (VFW). Because this modified version was not
configured properly, it may erroneously report that a device driver is
corrupted and may advise you to call Product Support Services. If you are
following the instructions in the READWRLD.TXT file, you may see an error
message indicating that the source file or destination disk may be
corrupted.
If you receive such an error message, carry out the following procedure.
If you received a message that says the ICCVID.DRV file is corrupted
      1) Select the following text (from "command" through "/y").
         command /c copy x:\vfwsetup\iccvid.drv %windir%\system /y
      2) Copy the selected text by pressing CTRL+C.
      3) Click the Start button, and then click Run.
      4) Paste the text you selected in step 1 by pressing CTRL+V
      5) Select the "X" in the text you pasted, and then type the letter
         of your CD-ROM drive.
      6) Click OK.
      7) Reinstall Video for Windows by following the instructions in the
         READWRLD.TXT file.
 
Memory Managers: Some of the "stealth" options will not function properly
with Windows 95. Windows 95 setup removes these options.
 
ATM fonts will not show up in the font list when some printer drivers for
fax applications are selected as the default printer. Known examples are
WinFax (all versions), FaxWorks, and older Quick Link 2 versions. A

      2) Reconfigure the PAS device to DMA 7.
      3) Use MS-DOS mode.

Lotus Notes Windows Client 3.2 - Configuring Netbios in Notes. If you are
using the netbios interface over ipx and the netbeui protocol stacks then
it
is necessary to configure the port of for Netbios using the unit number
that
properly corresponds to that protocol. Default number for the first Netbios
protocol is first set to 0, then any additional netbios interface will
start
at port 7 through 1. It is likely that netbios will use 7 or 6 if Netbeui
is
using 0. Changes must be done in the Lotus Notes Windows Client under the
menu
Tools-Setup-Ports.
 
The game Cyberwar will need to run in MS-DOS mode in this release unless
