MS-DOS-BASED AND WINDOWS-BASED PROGRAMS

=
==========================

NOTE: All of the following references to software deal with the versions that were available at the time Windows 98 shipped. New versions may now be available. For updated information about any of the issues described here, contact your software vendor.

Error Using Data Access from Microsoft Office Standard for Windows version 7.0 -- If you install Microsoft Office Standard for Windows version 7.0 on a computer running this version of Windows 98, you will see the following error message: "Failure to load expression service" when using the Access ODBC driver from Office programs such as Excel or Word.

To correct this problem, you can obtain the free update of Microsoft Office for Windows version 7.0b from Microsoft Product Support. To obtain a copy, call the Microsoft Order Desk at (800)360-7561. If you are outside the United States, contact the Microsoft subsidiary in your area. To locate your subsidiary, call the Microsoft International Sales Information Center at (425) 936-8661.

Installing Win32 SDK Debug Components from MSDN CD

=
===================================== The MSDN components will not work properly with some of the Windows 98 components. Installing the SDK or DDK debug components will render your computer unusable and you will have to reinstall Windows 98.

Animated Icons -- Windows 98 does not support animated icons.

Microsoft MS-DOS Utilities Running Under Windows 98 --- The MS-DOS utilities that are installed into the \Windows\Command directory have been enhanced to work with Windows 98. The disk repair utilities that shipped with older versions of MS-DOS should not be used with Windows 98. Most of the other MS-DOS utilities that worked with earlier versions of Windows should continue to work with Windows 98, but if they were bound to an older version of MS-DOS, you may need to use the SETVER command to enable them.

The following MS-DOS utility files will be deleted after you upgrade from an earlier version of Windows: Defrag.hlp Mwundel.exe Mwundel.hlp Networks.txt OS2.txt

The following MS-DOS utility files will be upgraded after you upgrade from an earlier version of Windows: Ansi.sys Attrib.exe Chkdsk.exe Choice.com Country.sys Debug.exe Deltree.exe Diskcopy.com Display.sys Doskey.com Edit.com Ega.cpi Fc.exe Fdisk.exe Find.exe Format.com Keyb.com Keyboard.sys Label.exe Mem.exe Mode.com More.com Move.exe Mscdex.exe Nlsfunc.exe Scandisk.exe Scandisk.ini Share.exe Sort.exe Subst.exe Sys.com Xcopy.exe Defrag.exe Drvspace.exe Emm386.exe Ramdrive.sys Readme.txt Setver.exe Smartdrv.exe

Disk Utilities -- In general, disk utilities that perform low-level disk functions, such as defragmenters, disk-repair tools, and disk compression utilities will not function properly on FAT32 drives. These utilities should continue to work properly on Windows 98 on FAT16 drives. The disk utilities included with Windows 98 (ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter) have already been modified and fully support FAT32. DriveSpace 3 is included with Windows 98. It has been modified to detect FAT32 drives, but it will not compress them.

Norton Utilities/Anti-Virus/Navigator for Windows 98

Many of the utilities contained in these products will not function properly on FAT32 drives. In some cases, (for example, Norton Disk Doctor), they will not function properly on FAT16 drives under Windows 98. For updated versions of these utilities that support FAT32 drives, contact Symantec.

Microsoft Plus! for Windows 98 -- If you install Microsoft Plus! on top of Windows 98, it will not install any DriveSpace 3 components because Windows 98 contains a newer version of DriveSpace 3.

DriveSpace 3, including Compression Agent, will be enabled when you install Plus!.

Share.exe no longer works in MS-DOS mode

In order to support FAT32, SHARE support has been disabled in the real-mode MS-DOS kernel (sharing support is still provided under protect-mode Windows 98).

Adobe Photoshop 3.0.4 - If you have more than 2GB of free space on your start-up drive, Photoshop may be unable to run. You may be able to work around this by setting a large *maximum* size for your swap file.

Microsoft Exchange Server - Client -- If you are running the Microsoft Exchange Server Client (if your mail system is based on Microsoft Exchange), when you install or reinstall Windows 98, and select MSN or Exchange, you will need to reinstall the Exchange and Schedule+ software. If you do not do this, the advanced Tools menus in Exchange and the Schedule+ functionality will no longer work.

Re-installing Programs -- If you upgrade your existing Windows directory to Windows 98, then you do not need to re-install your programs. If you install Windows 98 to a new directory, then you must re-install all of your Windows-based programs. Copying files from your Windows directory to Windows 98 is not sufficient.

MS-DOS-Based Programs - Your existing MS-DOS-based programs should run on Windows 98. If you experience problems with an MS-DOS-based program, you can set it up to run in an MS-DOS environment.

>>>To run an MS-DOS-based program in an MS-DOS environment (MS-DOS mode):

1. Create a shortcut to the MS-DOS-based program.

2. Right-click the shortcut icon, and then click Properties.

3. Click the Program tab, and then click Advanced.

4. Make sure that the MS-DOS Mode check box is selected.

When you run a program in MS-DOS mode, it will force Windows 98 to shut down and will load the program in an MS-DOS environment. Note that you will not have access to devices that require protected-mode drivers.

If you find an MS-DOS-based program slowing down or stopping when it is in the background: 1. Right-click the MS-DOS Prompt icon on the taskbar, and then click Properties. 2. Click the Misc tab. 3. Drag the Idle Sensitivity slider toward Low. 4. In the Background area, make sure that Suspend Always check box is clear.

Anti-Virus Software --- Existing Anti-Virus software should be able to detect viruses while running on Windows 98, but may not always clean your system. This depends on where the virus was found and how the program chose to clean it. Also, virus shields may not be able to see all file activity, and therefore could miss some virus activity. It is recommended that you update your anti-virus software to a version that was designed to run with Windows 98.

To contact McAfee for information about their new anti-virus software: McAfee BBS:(408) 988-4004, McAfee direct line: (408) 988-3832.

To contact Symantec Corporation for information about their anti-virus software: (800) 441-7234 or (503) 334-6054.

Disk Repair and Optimization Utilities -- To make it possible to store long file names on a FAT volume, it was necessary to change the file system for Windows 98. Those changes will prevent most existing disk repair and optimization programs from functioning correctly. Depending on how the disk repair and optimization programs function, Windows 98 may block them from running in order to protect the data on your disk. This is necessary in a multi-tasking environment to prevent disk corruption caused by multiple utilities running simultaneously. We strongly recommend that you upgrade to disk repair software that was designed for Windows 98. For more information, contact your software vendor.

Disk-Compression Utilities -- Windows 98 works with most major disk-compression products. However, since many of these products come with optimization utilities, it is recommended that you upgrade to the version designed for Windows 98. For more information, contact your software vendor.

Windows 3.1 Shell Enhancements -- Most Windows 3.1 shell replacements will still run on Windows 98, but with many limitations because of the taskbar, 32-bit components, and the new Windows 98 shell. If you want to continue running one of these programs, you should upgrade to a version that was designed to run with Windows 98.

Major Windows 3.1 shell enhancements this may affect: Norton Desktop, PC Tools Desktop, Tabworks, Dashboard, and Direct Access Desktop 1.0.

Using UNC Network Names with Existing Software -- There are three ways to assign a network resource in Windows 98.

1. Assign a network resource by using its UNC name. UNC names are in the format \\server\share. Windows 98 defaults to this method. 2. Assign a local name to the network resource; for example, assign one of your LPT ports to a network printer. 2. Assign a drive letter to a remote disk drive. This was the default behavior in Windows 3.1 and is still supported in Windows 98.

Using a UNC name removes much of the ambiguity of the older method that Windows 3.1 used. UNC names tend to be longer than their Windows 3.1 equivalents and this can cause problems for some programs. If you experience such problems, you can revert to the Windows 3.1 method of addressing network resources. For more information, look up "capturing, printer ports" and "mapping, drive letters" in the online Help index. Using a UNC name may affect the following programs: Design CAD 2D for Windows, CorelDraw for Windows, Corel Photo Paint 5, ccMail, Quickbooks 3.0, Lotus Notes, MS Profit 1.0b.

Notes on Specific MS-DOS-Based and Windows-Based Programs - Adaptec EZ-SCSI 3.1: When this program is run with Windows 98, you may experience the following product limitations:

- Adaptec EZ-SCSI will not modify your Config.sys and/or Autoexec.bat files like it does under Windows 3.1. To use real-mode device drivers with Windows 98, you will need to run EZ-SCSI for DOS. To do this, start Windows 98, and then when you see the message "Starting Windows 98", choose Command Prompt Only. Your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files will be modified automatically as needed. - The SCSI Power Management device driver included with Adaptec EZ-SCSI 3.1 is not compatible with Windows 98. - The SCSI tape backup package does not support backing up long file names.

For information about Adaptec software products designed specifically for Windows 98, please contact Adaptec directly at (800) 959-7274 or (408) 945-8600.

386MAX v7.02, BLUEMAX v7.02, and later versions

Version 7.02 and later of BLUEMAX and 386MAX were designed to run with Windows 98, and a free update can be obtained from Qualitas, Inc. at the following locations:

Qualitas BBS - Dial (301) 907-8030 CompuServe - PCVENA, GO QUALITAS America OnLine - Keyword Qualitas Qualitas Customer Service - (301) 907-7400

If you have version 7.02 or later of these memory managers, you do not need to follow the workarounds described in the following sections. However, if you install Windows 98 on a system that already has a later version of BLUEMAX or 386MAX, you should run the MAXIMIZE utility to reinstall the ExtraDOS utility that Windows 98 removes during setup.

BLUEMAX 7.0 --- Windows 98 removes the following lines from the Config.sys file during setup: Device=\BlueMAX\ExtraDOS.max pro=\BlueMAX\ExtraDOS.pro Install=\BlueMAX\ExtraDOS.max

If Windows 98 fails to start after setup, try the following procedure: 1. Refer to the \Manual\Readme.txt file (packaged with BlueMAX) about specific software and hardware incompatibilities with the BlueMAX software. 2. Run the MAXIMIZE program, and then follow these steps: a. After MAXIMIZE restarts your computer for the first time, press F8 when you see the "Starting Windows 98" message. b. Click Safe Mode Command Prompt Only. c. Open your Config.sys file by using any text editor, such as      MS-DOS Editor, and remove the following lines: Device=\BlueMAX\ExtraDOS.max pro=\BlueMAX\ExtraDOS.pro Install=\BlueMAX\ExtraDOS.max

d. Open your Bluemax.pro file, which is located in the directory where BlueMAX is installed, and remove the following lines if      they exist: Line beginning with "PRGREG" Line beginning with "HPDAREG" Line beginning with "STACKREG"

e. Restart your computer. f. When you see the "Starting Windows 98" message, press F8. g. Click Command Prompt Only. MAXIMIZE should continue setting up. h. Each time the computer restarts, repeat steps f and g until MAXIMIZE has finished.

NOTE: If you see the message "ExtraDOS Error," click OK.

NETROOM version 3 - Before setting up Windows 98, verify that CACHECLK is not being loaded in the Autoexec.bat file. Windows 98 Setup will fail with CACHECLK loaded.

After setup, if Windows 98 fails to start: 1. Refer to the \Manual\Readme.txt file (packaged with Netroom) about specific software and hardware incompatibilities with the NETROOM software. 2. Run the CUSTOMIZE program.

QEMM 7.01 - 7.5 --- Windows 98 removes the following drivers from the Config.sys file during setup: Dosdata.sys Dos-up.sys St-dbl.sys  (7.01-7.04) St-dspc.sys (7.5)

After setup, if Windows 98 fails to start: 1. Refer to the Manual\Technotes\Readme.txt file (packaged with   QEMM) for information about specific software and hardware incompatibilities with QEMM software. 2. Check Stealthing Options. Try changing ST:M to ST:F on the Qemm386.sys line in the Config.sys file, and then restarting your computer. If that doesn't work, try removing the ST:M or ST:F completely from the Qemm386.sys line in the Config.sys file and then restarting your computer. 3. Run QSETUP and turn off DOS-UP, Quickboot, and Stealthing Options (see previous section). QSETUP will recommend running OPTIMIZE. 4. Run the OPTIMIZE program. (NOTE: If DOS-UP or Stealthing are   enabled in QSETUP, then OPTIMIZE will add them to the Config.sys    file. Currently, Windows 98 may fail to start with Dosdata.sys and    Dos-up.sys installed in the Config.sys file.)

Dosdata.sys, a portion of the DOS-UP features of QEMM, causes the Windows 98 multi-boot feature to attempt to start Windows 98 even after you select the Previous Version Of MS-DOS option. To bypass this situation, press F4 during the second appearance of "Starting Windows 98." To correct this problem permanently, remove Dosdata.sys and Dos-up.sys from the Config.dos file.
