    TITLE:  Adv! Win95 ASTWorks II & Phone Center

    ISSUE

       When shipped with Windows 3.1 and ASTWorks 2 or 2+, and upgraded
       to Windows 95 and ASTWorks II, systems will no longer display the
       POPUP ON INCOMING or POPUP ON OUTGOING screens. The options
       settings on the STARCOM icon are checked.

       This issue affects the following ASTWorks 2 systems: 501491,
       501541, 501543, 501544, 501545, 501546, 501549, 501582, and
       501583.

       This issue affects the following ASTWorks 2+ systems: 501689,
       501690, 501693, 501695, 501696, 501697, 501713, 501714, and
       501823.

    BACKGROUND

       The upgrades overwrite some of the necessary files. The new files
       default with this option turned OFF. These files include the .DAT
       files in the ASTWORKS\PCLAUNCH directory.

    ACTION

       There are two fixes to the problem, depending on what version of
       ASTWorks shipped with the system.

       The ASTWorks 2 solution is as follows:

       1. Copy .DAT files from Data Disk 2.0 in the
          ORIGINAL\ASTWORKS\PCLAUNCH directory to the
          ASTWORKS\PCLAUNCH directory on your hard drive with
          the following command from a DOS window:

             C:\> XCOPY D:\original\astworks\pclaunch\*.dat
             C:\astworks\pclaunch\*.dat

       2. Restart Phone Center and re-enable the POPUP
          functions.

       The ASTWorks 2+ solution is as follows:

       1. Double-click on the STARCOM icon and remove the check
          marks from the POPUP selections.

       2. Close the STARCOM icon back to the task bar.

       3. Double-click on the STARCOM icon again and add the
          check marks back.

       The steps above will reset the .DAT files so that they correctly
       reflect the desired state of the POPUP functions.
