This file contains common mistakes that people make. Hopefully I can
reduce the number of support calls with this file.
After the initial install. Try running MARX QUICK or MARX QUICKNOV to
see what the menu is like. Don't run MARXMENU QUICK. Use the MARX.BAT
file.
Q.) I'm getting "Error accessing Overlays!"
A.) MarxMenu requires the file MARXMENU.OVR file to be in the same
directory as the MARXMENU.EXE file. In previos versions of MarxMenu
the EXE and OVR files were combined. This cause file sharing
problems on some networks and dumb multi-taskers such as Windows. So
I had to separate the overlay file.
Q.) Everything was working fine and I moved the files to another
directory and I'm getting "Bad command or File Name".
A.) The MARX.BAT is generated for a specific directory. Use your editor
to edit MARX.BAT to run in the new directory. If you are still
having problems change the ECHO OFF to ECHO ON and watch the batch
file execute.
Q.) I get stuck in the menu and it won't exit. Just keeps looping.
A.) The MXSTOP.BAT, BATEXIT.BAT and DROPTO.BAT files need to be in the
same directory as MARX.BAT.
Q.) On my Novell network, I get "Error creating BAT file" when users try
to run programs from the menu.
A.) This is caused when users don't have enough access rights for
MarxMenu to create temporary batch files. Use the
SET TEMP=<directory> to point to a directory where the user has full
access rights.
Q.) I'm running LanTastic and when two people use the menu at the same
time I get a "File Sharing Violation" error.
A.) This is solved by setting the MARXMENU.OVR file to "Read Only".
Q.) Under an OnKey statement, I'm mixing batch file commands and
MarxMenu commands (using the |). It seems that all the MarxMenu
commands execute first rather than the order that I specified.
A.) Yes, since MarxMenu is a 0k menu system, all batch files commands
are written to a batch file and executed when MarxMenu exits. It is
also important to remember that when you return to MarxMenu that you
come back to the beginning of the menu and not the last line you
left.
