WINProbe 4.01 Read Me File
December 13, 1995
Quarterdeck Corporation
Items which were too late for inclusion in the manual:
1. Disk/Disk Utilization does not round to the nearest 100th.
For example, if you have a directory that only uses 0.008% of the
disk drive, then WINProbe will show that it uses 0.00%.
2. Problems found when using Novell NetWare:
You may encounter one or more of the following problems because of the
way that Novell NetWare sometimes reports network drive capacity:
a) Disk/Utilization: The percentages shown may not add up to 100%
usage. Novell NetWare will sometimes under-report the actual
capacity of the drive. The capacity reported is what WINProbe
uses to calculate the actual percentage used.
b) Disk/Utilization: When checking a network drive, the progress
bar may hit 100% and you will still see directories being
scanned. This, again, is because of the way that Novell
NetWare sometimes reports network drive capacity.
3. The Quarterdeck RegIni Editor (only available if you are running Windows
95) has an online help system. For operational help, just press F1 while
RegIni is running.
What this maintenance release corrects:
=======================================
1. An incompatibility with the ATI Mach 64 / WinTurbo / Graphics Pro Turbo
cards which caused the screen to blink rapidly or go dark, has been
corrected. The cause of the problem was in the ATI driver's use of some
of the reserved bits in the COM4 region. Any activation or sensing of
COM 4 will cause this problem. To correct this, WINProbe now determines
if you are using one of these cards, and if so, will not physically
test COM 4. Currently, there is no other solution available and we are
working with ATI on a long-term solution.
2. CD-ROM diagnostic now works properly under Windows 95. Windows 95 will
not allow the checking of LBNs 1-15 and would report back an error, thus
not allowing the main CD-ROM diagnostics to be executed.
3. The keyboard diagnostic will now display the appropriate number of keys
for a keyboard with non-US layouts.
4. The installation program will not create an icon for the Quarterdeck
RegIni Editor if WINProbe is being installed under Windows 3.1x and
likewise, will not create an icon for INI Editor if being installed
under Windows 95.
5. The Hard Disk Surface Analysis now works correctly on drives that had
previously had reported errors.
6. The EXIT button on the button bar no longer displays the incorrect
version number.
7. The RAM diagnostic no longer causes a Windows Protection Error #6
under Windows 95.
Miscellaneous:
==============
Be sure to keep watching the Quarterdeck Forum on CompuServe or our website,
http://www.quarterdeck.com/ for updates to the Tune-Up information file which
will provide even more tune-up suggestions for Windows 95.
