-
- In order for Active Update to connect to the internet, you must have
- a 32-bit internet connection. If you don't know if you have a 32-bit
- connection, please contact your I.S.P. (Internet Service Provider)
-

- connection upon completion of the update.

- 1.4 Dos Restore Utility
-
- The Dos Restore Utility is to only be used with CheckIt created
- system backup files. It is recommended that the files only be
- restored to their original directories
-
-
- ______________________________________________________________________
- 1.5 Compatibility
-
- * Note for notebook users using docking stations: If you have two
- Windows profiles enabled to allow you to access different devices
- while docked and undocked, the QuickCheck may report some problems
- which you do not want fixed and can't be fixed, either through the
- TroubleShooter or Windows. CheckIt detects all profiles and the
- reports will reflect this. Since Windows deliberately disables
- some devices depending on the profile, and since CheckIt detects
- disabled items as a problem, it will flag these areas and offer
- suggestions on how to fix the problem. But because the problem
- is really caused by Windows disabling devices when loading a
- particular profile, and since CheckIt is not changing the
- profiles, the problem will reappear when Windows is restarted.
- Notebook users should just ignore these issues since they are
- not really problems.
-
- * Note: Drivers loaded in the AUTOEXEC.BAT can prevent the memory
- test from running. When trying to run a memory test, if Windows
- shuts down then restarts without running the memory test, you
- should run the memory test from DOS. You will find the DOS memory
- test program named CKMEM.EXE in the folder C:\TSC\CHECKIT\TESTS.
- For information on running the test, go to the TESTS directory and
- type CKMEM /?<Enter>. REMarking all the drivers in the
- AUTOEXEC.BAT when running the memory test also should fix the
- problem. One particular driver we found a problem with is the one
- used for the Aztech modem/sound card.
