Russian Software installation using another Shell program
We recommend to use Program Manager (PROGMAN.EXE) as Windows Shell. If you have an another shell program, you can set Program Manager as shell as shown below:

1. Open in Windows directory SYSTEM.INI file. Change "Shell=..." item to "Shell=PROGMAN.EXE", then save System.Ini

2. Exit Windows and restart this one

If you want to use Norton Desktop for Windows as shell do not use its group items from Quick Access window, which will be created after the installation. Russian Software Setup program uses Program Manager for creation of the Russian Software group (it loads PROGMAN.EXE, sends to this one a set of necessary instructions and finishes this one). Norton Desktop "plugs" into the conversation between Program Manager and Russian Software Setup and copies all actions which Program Manager makes. But, in our opinion, Norton Desktop for Windows does not this so correctly (it does not set Start-up directory, and the icon can't be activated).

You can resolve this problem using Program Manager. You should activate Norton Desktop's File menu, choice "Run ..." and type "PROGMAN.EXE". Program Manager will be loaded. You can open "Russian Software" group and work with this one. After Russian Software will be terminated you can close Program Manager (you can use Alt-F4, Alt-F X or double click to system menu icon).

If you uses Dashboard for Windows as Windows shell, before you start the installation you should change the current drive in Dashboard Run window to CD ROM drive which contains Russian Software CD ROM, and change the current directory to \RUS_SOFT, for example:

C:\> e:

E:\> cd \rus_soft

E:\RUS_SOFT> rssetup.exe

After the installation will be completed you should copy Russian Software group to Dashboard Program menu, as shown below:

1. Press "monkey wrench" button in Dashboard window

2. Choice "Program menu" (on the left of the Customize window)

3. Press "Reread from Program Manager" button

4. Press "Done" button

5. Find "Russian Software" button (use · and · buttons to scroll Program menu), then press it - Russian Software group will be opened

Some DOS demos need a lot of low memory (for example, Resonance needs 519 KBytes). If it is not enough available low memory on your computer, this demo will be not executed, and Windows will say: "Decrease PIF Required size". Do not decrease it please - this may corrupt system memory, and the system will shut down. You can release low memory during remove one of several DOS drivers (you should comment the corresponding lines(s) "DEVICE=..." in CONFIG.SYS file; also pay your attention - the "DOS=" line must contain "High,UMB", CONFIG.SYS must not contain "DEVICE=..." lines, only "DEVICEHIGH=..."

WARNING: To receive the size of the available low memory, for example, run Norton Commander and press Ctrl-L.
