- NetHelper 2.0 operates on any PC running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
- There are no minimum requirements for memory and processor -- if you
- can run Windows 95 or NT 4.0, you can probably run NetHelper! At least
- one modem or network adapter card with a TCP/IP binding must be
- installed on the PC in order to use NetHelper. A client for Microsoft
- Networks must be installed on the PC in order to use NetBIOS features.
-
- To Install NetHelper
- --------------------
-
- There are two ways to install NetHelper.
-
- 1) Run the self-extracting zip file NetHelp.exe, or
- 2) Use an archive utility to unzip NetHelp.zip.
-
- In either case, extract the content of the zip file into a temporary
- directory and run Setup.exe. The Installer will prompt you to:
-
- - accept the terms of NetHelper's License Agreement;
- - choose the destination folder to contain NetHelper; and
- - choose the program folder (start menu item) to represent NetHelper.
-
- You may Cancel installation any time before responding to the last
- prompt. After you respond "Next" to the Program Folder prompt, the
- Installer will copy NetHelper files to the specified destination
- folder and add NetHelper, NetHelper Readme, OnLine Help, and
- UnInstall NetHelper items to the specified Start Menu program folder.
- When installation has been completed, the Installer will prompt you
- to allow your PC to be rebooted.
-
- Before installing any software, it is generally a good idea to
- back up your existing configuration. NetHelper Setup may update or
- install the following DLL files in your Windows/System or
- WinNT/System32 folder: Mfc42.dll and Msvcrt.dll.
-
- Running NetHelper
- -----------------
- You may run NetHelper using either the destination folder icon or
- program menu item. If active DLLs were updated during installation,
- you will find it necessary to reboot before running NetHelper.
-
- Whenever you run an unregistered copy of NetHelper, you will be
- reminded to Register. After you have registered, NetHelper will
- display the most recently used panel by default, or the panel
- indicated by a command line argument provided to NetHelper.
-
- To UnInstall NetHelper
- ----------------------
-
- There are two ways to un-install NetHelper.
-
- 1) Run UnInstall NetHelper using the program menu or folder icon; or
- 2) Use the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel feature.
-
- In either case, the utility will ask you to confirm that you wish to
- remove NetHelper from your PC. You may cancel by responding "No" or
- continue by responding "Yes". The UnInstaller reverses all steps
- taken during Installation, including removal of the destination
- folder, program folder, menu items, and DLL files no longer in use.
