- 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.
