iver.

NOTE: Locate the disks that came with your HP Color 
LaserJet printer, and then follow the steps below. If 
you cannot find the disks, contact your Hewlett-Packard 
Driver Distribution center.

1. Insert the HP Color LaserJet Printer disk, Windows 3.1 
   PostScript 2.1.1., into the appropriate floppy disk drive.

2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

3. Click Add Printer, and then follow the instructions 
   on the screen. 

4. Click Have Driver Disk. If you are prompted to replace 
   or update the driver, click Yes.


HP LaserJet Troubleshooting
---------------------------

You may have a conflict between the Microsoft 
printer status reporting program and the HP 
Status Window. Here are the symptoms: During 
printing, the Microsoft status program displays 
a message with printing status information. At 
other times, if a printer error or other condition 
occurs (the printer runs out of paper, paper jam, 
the parallel cable is disconnected, the printer 
cover is open, etc.), the HP Status Window displays 
a message. 

>>>To remove the HP Status Window:

1. Click Start, and then click Programs.

2. Click the HP LaserJet folder.

3. Click the Deinstall HP Status Window icon.

4. Click Yes to restart Windows.

If you get a Error 21 - print overrun message on 
your LaserJet printer, click Start, point to Settings, 
click Printers. Right-click the icon that represents 
your printer. In the resulting dialog box, click 
Device Options, and then click to clear the Page 
protection check box. 

On LaserJet 3 printers, you will need to set this 
option directly on the printer's front panel. If the 
Page protection option is not available and you are 
using a LaserJet 4 printer, try changing the printer 
driver to Raster mode instead of vector mode on the 
Graphics tab of the Printer Properties dialog box. 
Sometimes you can also solve this problem by reducing 
the complexity of the page.


LEXMARK PRINTER SUPPORT
=======================

You may experience difficulties using the bi-directional 
support with some Lexmark 40 x 9 LaserPrinter printers 
under Windows 98. 

>>>To enable bi-directional support:

1. Verify you have a file named LEX01.386 in your 
   Windows\System folder.

2. Under the [386Enhanced] section of the System.ini file 
   in your Windows folder, add these lines:

       *device=lex01.385
        WPSLPT#=1

   where # = 1, 2 or 3, corresponding to LPT1, LPT2, 
   or LPT3 respectively. (Example: For LPT2, the line 
   would read WPSLPT2=1)

3. Save the changes and restart your computer.


QMS JETSCRIPT BOARDS
====================

To print with QMS JetScript boards under Windows 98, 
create a port called LPTx.DOS (where LPTx is LPT1, 
LPT2, or LPT3, depending on how the JetScript board 
is configured). The following steps assume you already 
have a printer driver installed. If you do not have 
a printer driver installed, click Start, point to 
Settings, click Printers, double-click Add Printer, 
and then follow the instructions on your screen.

>>>To create a port called LPTx.DOS:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Printers,
   right-click the icon for the QMS JetScript printer,
   and then click Properties.

2. Click Details, and then click Add Port.

3. Click Other, and then click Local Port.

4. Click OK, and then enter the name of the port 
   you want to add (for example, LPT1.DOS).

5. Click OK, and then click OK again to close the 
   Printer Properties dialog box. 

   The printer should be ready to use.

NOTES ON SPECIFIC MS-DOS-BASED AND 
WINDOWS-BASED PROGRAMS

THIRD-PARTY MEMORY MANAGERS
---------------------------------------


MS-DOS-BASED AND WINDOWS-BASED PROGRAMS
=======================================

NOTE: All of the following references to software 
are to versions available when Windows 98 shipped. New 
versions may now be available. For updated information 
about any of the issues described here, contact your 
software vendor.


Error in Using Data Access from Microsoft 
Office Standard for Windows Version 7.0
-----------------------------------------

If you install Microsoft Office Standard for Windows 
version 7.0 on a computer running Windows 98, a 
"Failure to load expression service" error message 
appears when you use the Access ODBC driver from 
Office programs such as Excel or Word.

To correct this problem, obtain the free update of 
Microsoft Office for Windows version 7.0b from 
Microsoft Product Support. If you are in the U.S., 
call the Microsoft Order Desk at (800) 360-7561 to 
obtain a copy. If you are outside the U.S., contact 
the Microsoft subsidiary in your area. To locate 
your subsidiary, call the Microsoft International 
Sales Information Center at (425) 936-8661.


INSTALLING WIN32 SDK DEBUG COMPONENTS FROM
THE MSDN CD-ROM
==========================================

The MSDN components might not work properly with 
some Windows 98 components. If you install the SDK 
or DDK debug components, reinstall Windows 98.


Animated icons
--------------

Windows 98 does not support animated icons.


Microsoft MS-DOS utilities running under Windows 98
---------------------------------------------------

The MS-DOS utilities installed in the \Windows\Command 
directory have been enhanced to work with Windows 98. 
Do not use the disk repair utilities that shipped with 
older versions of MS-DOS. Most of the other MS-DOS 
utilities that worked with earlier versions of Windows 
should continue to work with Windows 98, but if they 
were specific to older versions of MS-DOS, you may need 
to use the SETVER command to enable them.

The following MS-DOS utility files are deleted after 
you upgrade from an earlier version of Windows:

	Defrag.hlp
	Mwundel.exe
	Mwundel.hlp
	Networks.txt
	OS2.txt
	share.exe


The following MS-DOS utility files are upgraded after 
you upgrade from any version of Windows 3.1.

	Ansi.sys
	Attrib.exe
	Chkdsk.exe
	Choice.com
	Country.sys
	Debug.exe
	Deltree.exe
	Diskcopy.com
	Display.sys
	Doskey.com
	Edit.com
	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
	Sort.exe
	Subst.exe
	Sys.com
	Xcopy.exe
	Defrag.exe
	Drvspace.exe
	Emm386.exe
	Ramdrive.sys
	Readme.txt
	Setver.exe
	Smartdrv.exe


Disk Utilities
--------------

Disk utilities that perform low-level disk 
functions, such as defragmenters, disk-repair 
tools, and disk-compression utilities, often do not 
function correctly on FAT32 drives. Some of these 
utilities should work correctly on Windows with 
FAT16 drives. Contact the program vendor for 
information on Windows 98 compatibility with older 
disk-compression utilities.
 
The disk utilities included with Windows 98 (ScanDisk 
and Disk Defragmenter) have already been modified to 
fully support FAT32. DriveSpace 3 is included with 
Windows 98. It has been modified to detect FAT32 
drives, but it does not compress them.


Multiple Display (Multi Monitor) Issues
---------------------------------------

Some programs were not developed with the capabilities 
to operate seamlessly in a multiple display environment. 
As a result, these programs may exhibit abnormal behavior 
while operating with more than one active monitor. 


Share.exe no longer works in MS-DOS mode
----------------------------------------

To support FAT32, SHARE support has been disabled 
in the real-mode MS-DOS kernel (sharing support is 
still provided under protected-mode Windows 98). 


Reinstalling Programs
---------------------

If you are upgrading to Windows 98 and install it
in the same folder as your previous version of
Windows, you do not need to reinstall your programs. 
If you install Windows 98 in a new folder, you must 
reinstall all of your Windows-based programs. Copying 
from your old Windows folder to your new Windows 98
folder is not sufficient.


MS-DOS-based programs
---------------------

Your existing MS-DOS-based programs should run on 
Windows 98. If you experience problems with an 
MS-DOS-based program, you can set it up to run in 
an MS-DOS environment.

>>>To run an MS-DOS-based program in an MS-DOS 
   environment (MS-DOS mode):

1. Create a shortcut to the MS-DOS-based program.

2. Right-click the shortcut you created in step 1, 
   and then click Properties.

3. Click Program, and then click Advanced.

4. Make sure the MS-DOS mode check box is selected.

When you run a program in MS-DOS mode, it forces 
Windows 98 to shut down and load the program in an 
MS-DOS environment. You do not have access to devices 
that require protected-mode drivers. 

If you find that an MS-DOS-based program slows down or 
stops when it is in the background:

1. Right-click MS-DOS Prompt on the taskbar, 
   and then click Properties.

2. Click the Misc tab.

3. Drag the Idle sensitivity slider toward Low.  

4. Under Background, make sure the Always Suspend 
   check box is cleared.  


Antivirus software
------------------

Existing antivirus software running on Windows 98
should be able to detect viruses, but they may not 
always eliminate the viruses they find. We recommend 
that you update your antivirus software to a version 
that is designed to run with Windows 98.

To contact McAfee for information about updated 
antivirus software, call: 
  
	(408) 988-3832

To contact Symantec Corporation for information 
about updated antivirus software call: 
	
	(800) 441-7234 
or 
	(503) 334-6054 


Disk repair and optimization utilities
--------------------------------------

To make it possible to store long file names 
on a FAT volume, it was necessary to change 
the Windows file system. These changes prevent 
most existing disk repair and optimization 
programs designed for Windows 3.1 from functioning 
correctly. Depending on how the disk repair and 
optimization programs work, Windows 98 may block 
them to protect the data on your disk.

This limitation is necessary in a multitasking 
environment to prevent disk corruption caused by 
multiple utilities running simultaneously. We 
strongly recommend that you upgrade to disk repair 
software that was designed for Windows 98 if you 
are upgrading from Windows 3.1. For more information, 
contact your software vendor.


Disk-compression utilities
--------------------------

Windows 98 is incompatible with Stacker 4.1. You 
need to uninstall Stacker 4.1 before upgrading to 
Windows 98.


Windows 3.1 shell enhancements
------------------------------

Most Windows 3.1 shell replacements still run 
on Windows 98, but with some limitations because 
of the taskbar, 32-bit components, and the new 
Windows 98 shell. If you want to continue running 
one of these programs, upgrade to a version that 
was designed to run with Windows 98.

The major Windows 3.1 shell enhancement programs 
this limitation may affect are Norton Desktop, PC 
Tools Desktop, Tabworks, Dashboard, and Direct 
Access Desktop 1.0.


Universal Naming Convention (UNC) network 
names and existing software
-----------------------------------------

There are three ways to assign a network 
resource in Windows 98:

- Assign a network resource by using its UNC 
  name. UNC names are in the format \\server\share. 
  Windows 98 uses this method by default.

- Assign a local name to the network resource. 
  For example, assign one of your LPT ports to 
  a network printer.

- Assign a drive letter to a remote disk drive. 
  This method was the default in Windows 3.1 and 
  Windows 95 and is still supported in Windows 98.

Using a UNC name removes much of the ambiguity of 
the Windows 3.1 method. That UNC names tend to be 
longer than their Windows 3.1 equivalents can cause 
problems for some programs. If you experience such 
problems, you can revert to the Windows 3.1 method 
of addressing network resources. 

Using a UNC name may affect the following programs: 
Design CAD 2D for Windows, CorelDraw for Windows, 
Corel Photo Paint 5, ccMail, Quickbooks 3.0, Lotus 
Notes, MS Profit 1.0b, and other programs designed for 
the Windows 3.1 environment.



NOTES ON SPECIFIC MS-DOS-BASED AND 
WINDOWS-BASED PROGRAMS
==================================


7th Guest
---------

If you are running 7th Guest with a Pro Audio 
Spectrum 16 sound card, enable and use Sound 
Blaster compatibility mode, or configure your Pro 
Audio Spectrum card to IRQ 5 and DMA 3.


Agent 95
--------

This application fails to start after installation, 
and will not run in Windows 98. Please contact the 
vendor for information concerning a Windows 98 
compatible version.


Adaptec EZ-SCSI 3.1
-------------------

When this program runs with Windows 98, you may 
experience the following product limitations:

-  Adaptec EZ-SCSI does not modify your CONFIG.SYS 
   and/or AUTOEXEC.BAT files like it does under 
   Windows 3.1. To use  real-mode device drivers 
   with Windows 98, you need to run EZ-SCSI for DOS. 
   To do this: start Windows 98, and then when 
   the message "Starting Windows 98" is displayed, 
   choose Command Prompt Only. Your CONFIG.SYS and 
   AUTOEXEC.BAT files are modified automatically.

-  The SCSI Power Management device driver included 
   with Adaptec EZ-SCSI 3.1 is not compatible with 
   Windows 98.

-  The SCSI tape backup package does not support 
   backing up long file names.

For information about Adaptec software products designed 
specifically for Windows 98, contact Adaptec directly at 
(800) 959-7274 or (408) 945-8600.


Adobe Persuasion
----------------

You cannot install Adobe Persuasion version 3.0 if 
your CONFIG.SYS file is empty or has not been created. 
This is not a problem if you are upgrading from an 
earlier version of Windows or MS-DOS.
   
>>>To create a CONFIG.SYS file:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, 
   and then click Notepad.

2. Type "rem This is a temporary config.sys file."

3. Click File, and then click Save.

4. Type C:\Config.sys and then press ENTER.

5. Continue with the Adobe Persuasion 3.0 installation.

Inc., Customer Service at (800) 833-6687. Outside the 
United States, call (206) 622-5500 or the telephone 
number in the program documentation.


Adobe Photoshop 3.0.4
---------------------

If you have more than 2 GB of free space on your 
start-up drive, Photoshop may be unable to run. 
You may be able to work around this by setting a 
large maximum size for your swap file.


Adobe PhotoShop 4.0
-------------------

When you use the Color Range feature on the Select 
menu, a page fault results. Adobe has a patch on its
Web site (PhotoShop v. 4.01) whic
