386MAX and Microsoft Windows 95
This document is intended for use with 386MAX or BlueMAX version 7.
You should not use these instructions if you are using version 8 of
Qualitas MAX. We suggest you upgrade to Qualitas MAX 8 for a complete
interface and technology upgrade for Windows 95.
All applications, both MS DOS and Windows, benefit from having more
conventional memory available. 386MAX provides more memory for
applications in DOS and in Windows by making the most of your system
for each environment. As a Windows Development Partner, Qualitas has
worked closely with Microsoft for years to ensure that 386MAX enhances
the Windows environment reliably.
Version 7.0 of 386MAX (and later 7.xx versions) works with Windows 95.
Version 7.02, however, has incorporated specific changes to ensure
maximum compatibility. We recommend that you download this version if
you want to use version 7 of 386MAX with Windows 95.
During installation, if Windows 95 encounters a version of 386MAX
prior to the current shipping version (version 7.02), it automatically
deactivates the ExtraDOS feature by removing these lines from your
CONFIG.SYS file.
device=c:\386max\extrados.max pro=c:\386max\extrados.pro
install=c:\386max\extrados.max
If you have occasion to rerun Maximize, the above lines are reinstated
into your CONFIG.SYS file, and can cause conflicts when booting into
Windows 95. Updating your 386MAX version to 7.02 ensures that this
conflict will not occur.
After updating your version of 386MAX to 7.02, here's how to run
Maximize:
* Press <alt> F4 to exit Windows and restart your system. In the
Windows box titled Shut down Windows, click on the second available
option (restart the computer) and then on the YES button.
* When the system restarts, press F8 when you see the Starting Windows
95 message. The MS Windows 95 Startup menu appears. Choose Command
prompt only from the menu and press enter.
* At the command prompt that follows, go to the 386MAX directory (cd
386MAX) and type Maximize.
Either mode of Maximize (quick or full) runs to completion before
restarting Windows. During Maximize, the Starting Windows 95 screen
appears, but Windows does not actually load until Maximize completes
processing of your configuration files. If you wish, you may observe
the process by hitting the escape key to remove the Windows 95 display
page each time it appears. When Maximize completes, Windows restarts
automatically and you are returned to your Windows desktop.
If you run Maximize with a version other than 7.02 and Windows 95
fails to start, use the F8 key as described above when restarting your
system to get to the command prompt. Upate your 386MAX files to the
proper version and then run Maximize as described above.
You may download version 7.02 of 386MAX from our Internet FTP site.
If you currently have version 7.00 of 386MAX, download M700702.EXE.
If you have version 7.01 of 386MAX, get M701702.EXE.
