- Dr. Hardware for Windows - Very important information
- =====================================================
-
- Please read the following important notes before starting the program for the first time:
-
- 1. This program is operating very close to the hardware. Therefore you may encounter
- problems running some of the tests including severe exception errors (Blue screens),
- general protection faults (GPFs) and program errors; after testing your display adapter
- the screen remains blank under certain circumstances so that you have to reset your
- system. While testing the ASPI devices a blue screen with an "Error reading drive C:"
- message could come up (especially during report creation), so that you have to restart
- your sytem and repair lost clusters with SCANDISK.
- As far as we can see there is no reason to expect permanent damages go out of these
- problems. In most cases they don┤t occur at all.
- However if you want to exclude all risks you should not run this program but uninstall
- it now.
- On the other side if you want to run it (as many hundreds of users before) you can
- disable and configure some of the most critical analysis steps in the configuration
- file DRHARD.INI. You also should read PROBLEMS.DOC that answers the most frequently
- asked questions.
-
- 2. Close all open files (especially data files like text documents) before running the
- program. If not data might get lost when the system crashes or hangs.
- Also close DOS applications and other background tasks before running the program.
- If not clock and benchmark measuring will be affected dramatically.
- In order to get the best viewing results switch to a resolution of 800 x 600 with
- 256 colors or better and small system font.
-
- 3. Should problems occur during program start, click the button "No test at start"
- in the first dialog box after executing the EXE-file.
-
- 4. Problems running under Windows 95/98 can be avoided by starting Windows in
- Safe mode.
-
- 5. Always look at the status line of the program. Red coloured informations indicate
- that the program is working.
