- ------------------------------------------------------------
- The latest information about Speed Surfer can always be
- found in Speed Surfer's FAQ (Frequently Asked Question)
- section of the Kiss web site, http://www.kissco.com.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Speed Surfer isn't in the task bar! (W95) ---------------
-
- When you have the Speed Surfer control screen open, it will
- not appear in the Windows 95 task bar. If you want to bring
- the screen to the front, or access any other Speed Surfer
- functions, simply right click on the Speed Surfer icon in
- the tray. Programs that run in the background (like Speed
- Surfer) don't usually appear in the task bar and we thought
- it would be confusing to have Speed Surfer appear in both
- the task bar and the tray.
-
- 2. I clicked on a link and got a "No Data" message ---------
-
- If you are using a high-speed Internet connection, usually
- cable modem or better, you might get a "No Data" message
- when you click on a link. This means that Speed Surfer was
- pre-loading a graphic just when you clicked on the link and
- the browser got confused.
-
- Nothing has been corrupted or lost - Simply click on the
- link again and everything will be OK.
-
- 3. I stopped using Speed Surfer and my browser won't work --
-
- For both Netscape and Microsoft browsers, Speed Surfer is a
- proxy setting. When you unload Speed Surfer (right click on
- the tray icon) the proxy settings are returned to their
- previous, non-Speed Surfer settings. However, if you do not
- unload Speed Surfer, but just close the browser screen,
- these settings are not restored. Then, if you start Navigator
- without using Speed Surfer, the browser will not be able to
- find web sites at all because it is using the wrong proxy.
-
- There are two ways to fix this. The easiest method would be
- to simply start Speed Surfer again and then unload it
- properly. The second method would be to change the browser's
- proxy settings manually.
-
- Netscape
- Go to the Options Menu and choose Network Preferences. Once
- the dialog box is displayed, choose the Proxies tab. Speed
- Surfer will have set the radio button to Manual Proxy
- Configuration and set the HTTP Proxy to http://localhost
- and port 176.
-
- If your ISP does not require a proxy, simply change the
- radio button to Automatic Proxy Configuration and click OK.
- If you are using manual proxies outside of Speed Surfer,
- click on the View button and reset the HTTP Proxy to its
- original parameters.
-
- Internet Explorer
- Go to the View Menu and choose Options. Once the Options
- dialog box is displayed, choose the Connection tab. Speed
- Surfer will have checked the box marked "Connect through a
- proxy server" and set the HTTP Proxy to http://localhost and
- port 176.
-
- If your ISP does not require a proxy, simply uncheck the
- proxy server box and click OK. If you are using manual proxies
- outside of Speed Surfer, click on the Settings button and
- reset the HTTP Proxy to its original parameters.
-
- Windows 3.1 Users
- The problem of closing the browser without unloading Speed
- Surfer does not exist under Windows 3.1 and 3.11, since
- there is no tray for Speed Surfer to hide in.
-
- When you close the browser the Speed Surfer screen will
- still be up and active. To "unload" Speed Surfer, simply
- close this screen. Speed Surfer will reset the browser
- appropriately.
-
- 4. How do I uninstall Speed Surfer? ------------------------
-
- The Windows 95 version of Speed Surfer can be uninstalled
- from the Add/Remove Programs function. Simply select Speed
- Surfer 3.2 and click Remove.
-
- If you did not unload Speed Surfer the last time you used
- it, you will need to manually reset the proxy settings in
- your browser. See tip #3 above for instructions.
-
- 5. Help! I just got a Java error ---------------------------
-
- Speed Surfer is not written in Java. This is a web site
- error, or possibly a problem in the browser. The best thing
- to do is to click OK until all the Java error messages go
- away, back up and try to access the site again. If you get
- another Java error, you might want to come back to that site
- later, after it's been updated.
-
