SUMMARY
The setup program for Lucid Lightning disk-caching software does not detect other disk-caching software, such as Microsoft SMARTDrive version 4.x, if it is loaded high in upper memory. If disk-caching software is loaded low, Lucid Lightning disables it. In addition, the installations of Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.1, and MS-DOS 6.0 do not detect third-party disk- caching software. As a result, running both disk-caching utilities simultaneously may produce cross-linked files or lost clusters.

To correct this problem, disable one of the two disk-caching utilities by modifying the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.



MORE INFORMATION
Lucid Corporation manufactures the following three versions of its Lightning disk-caching software:


 * Lightning version 6.0 for DOS
 * Lightning version 1.21 for Windows
 * Lightning version 1.1 for CD

To disable any version of the Lightning disk-caching software, modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file as follows:   REM C:\LIGHT60\L REM C:\WINDOWS\LIGHTWIN\L REM C:\LIGHTCD\L For more information, call Lucid Corporation Technical Support.

The products included here are manufactured by Lucid Corporation, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
