- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- The WW1000 disk included with this Application Note contains
- VSHARE.386 version 3.11.0.402. This version of VSHARE.386 is
- compatible with Microsoft Windows version 3.1 and Windows for
- Workgroups versions 3.1 and 3.11.
-
- NOTE: Microsoft Office versions 4.2 and 4.3 install version
- 3.11.0.401 of VSHARE.386.
-
- The version of VSHARE.386 included with this Application Note differs
- from the version included with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (version
- 3.11.0.300) in the following ways:
-
- - The version of VSHARE.386 included with this Application Note
- supports Windows version 3.1.
-
- - The version of VSHARE.386 included with this Application Note
- corrects a problem than can cause Windows for Workgroups 3.11 to
- stop responding (hang) when you start your computer.
-
- USING VSHARE.386
- ----------------
-
- If you are using applications that support OLE 2.0, you must run
- either SHARE.EXE or VSHARE.386. VSHARE.386 eliminates the need to run
- SHARE.EXE when you run Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups in 386
- enhanced mode. If you run Windows 3.1 in standard mode, you must run
- SHARE.EXE. If you run applications that are not compatible with
- SHARE.EXE and you are running Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode, the
- applications may work with VSHARE.386 instead of SHARE.EXE.
-
- INSTALLING THE UPDATED VSHARE.386 FILE
- --------------------------------------
-
- To install VSHARE.386 version 3.11.0.402, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Quit Windows.
-
- 2. If you received a disk with this Application Note, insert the disk
- in the appropriate floppy disk drive.
-
- If you downloaded this Application Note from an online service,
- skip to step 3. This procedure assumes that you have already
- downloaded and extracted the compressed file.
-
- 3. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following command and
- then press ENTER
-
- copy <source>:\vshare.386 <location>
-
- where <source> is either the letter of your floppy disk drive or
- the directory containing the file you downloaded from online
- services, and <location> is the path to your Windows\SYSTEM
- subdirectory. For example, if you are installing from a floppy disk
- that you inserted in drive A, and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM is the path to
- your Windows\SYSTEM subdirectory, type:
-
- copy a:\vshare.386 c:\windows\system
-
- Or, for example, if you downloaded the WW1000.EXE file from online
- services to C:\DOWNLOAD and C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM is the path to your
- Windows\SYSTEM subdirectory, type:
-
- copy c:\download\vshare.386 c:\windows\system
-
- 4. Use any text editor (such as MS-DOS Editor) to edit the
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Remove the SHARE.EXE command from the
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file and then save and close the file.
-
- 5. Edit the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file to add the
- following line:
-
- device=vshare.386
-
- 6. Save and then close the SYSTEM.INI file.
-
- 7. Restart your computer.
