- and Hidden are attributes).

- NOTES: Please note that once the program is installed you should never have
- to reinstall unless you delete the winsafe.ini
-

- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
-
- WinSafe95 will tell you when the installation is complete.
- You will need to restart your computer to complete the installation.
-
- HOW TO INSTALL:
- 1) Run the setup program. If a MSDOS window stays open
- please close it and continue.
-
- 2) Follow the on screen instructions
-
-
- 3) WinSafe95 will now look for non system hidden files. If it finds
- one, a message box will appear and tell you that WinSafe95 can not
- find a file, line 18 or 42. Write the file name and path down on
- a piece of paper ie:(c:\Windows\system.sys) and click OK.
-
-
- 4) If Winsafe95 finds any additional files you will be asked to use
- the attribute command. You will now see in the MSDOS window a
- line similar to the one below:
- "A SHR SYSTEM.DAT C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DAT"
- make note of the letters between the A and SYSTEM.DAT.
- In the example the letters are SHR. Then close the MSDOS window.
-
- 5) In then next window to appear type the letters that appeared
- in the previous MSDOS window (without spaces), and click OK.
- If in step 8 only an R was present type the letter R if no
- letter appeared click CANCEL.
-
- 6) After you have completed step 5 with all files reported click on
- SETUP on the menu bar and then on START TEST again. You should not
- receive any messages that WinSafe95 can not read a file. If you
- still get a message click on SETUP and then WINSAFE.INI Look for
- [HIDDEN] and verify that you have entered the correct file name
- and path. Then repeat step 6.
-
- 7) Next click on the REPORT Button, This will take a few moments
- longer to finish then the Test did.
-
- 8) When the Report is finished a window will appear and tell you
- to click on TEST COMPLETE and to reboot. Close WinSafe95 and
- reboot. when you reenter Windows WinSafe may tell you to backup.
- Then Backup.
-
- After rebooting the first time WinSafe95 will tell you if it can
- not read a file. If Winsafe95 can not read a file adjust the startup
- Wait Time.
-
- ADJUSTING THE WAIT TIME
-
- WinSafe95 can not read files that are in use.
- Use the SETUP menu to increase the wait time.
- The value is set to 7. Increasing the number will cause a
- longer wait time and decreasing it will shorten wait time.
- WinSafe95 must wait till other programs stop reading the
- registry and all
- programs(i.g. virus scanners)have finished booting into
- Windows. (Booting is not finishing scanning) Try rebooting
- before continuing. If you still get a message window that
- WinSafe95 can not read a file go to step 4.
- TIP: A good way to test the wait time is directly after Winsafe95
- finishes booting into windows is to click on REPORT and if you
- get a report that is telling you that a file has been added then
- the wait time need to be increased. Generally the wait time never
- needs to go beyond 14.
-
- 9) Backup after all programs have completely booted to Windows.
- Be sure that Winsafe95 has stopped searching for files.
- You should not have an MSDOS windows staying open after the Setup
- is complete.
-
- 10) Note that you may not be able see the backup files because
- they are all "hidden" to protect them for virus and user tampering.
- WinSafe95 will tell you when you need to make new backup files.
-
- 11) Click on the MSD button if nothing happens then use the find
- command at the start button and type msd.exe. If you find it place
- it in your windows directory.
- If your system does not have MSD.exe install on it; you will find
- it on your Windows 95 cdrom. Use the Find feature at the Start
- button. You may download this file from Mircosoft on the Internet
- or from our web site file- Msd.zip

- menu bar then on SYSTEM INFORMATION and print out that file.

- printer. If not at least print it to a file. This file contains
- all the configurations of your system, if you crash because of
- hardware failure you will need this file.
