2: HIGH SPEED MODEMS Using a high speed modem (faster than 9600 baud) with an older UART (the computer chip that controls the serial port) can result in transmission errors. Any 14.4 Kbps or faster modem requires the 16550AFN UART. Older UARTs might be labeled 8250 or 16450.

To find out what kind of UART your computer has:

  On the Windows 95 Start menu, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.   Double-click Modems.   Click the Diagnostics tab.   Highlight the port you want to check, then click the More Info button.   Windows will test your modem and report the results.   The type of UART you have will be listed in the Port Information section. </li>  If you have an 8250 or 16450 UART, click OK, then follow steps 8-  If you have a 16550 UART, your hardware is up to date.</li></ol> </li>  Click the General tab. </li>  Click Properties. </li>  Click the Connection tab. </li>  Click Port Settings. </li>  Make sure the Use FIFO Buffers checkbox is NOT checked. Click OK. </li>  Try your modem connection again. If you still have problems, you should upgrade your serial card to one with the 16550AFN UART. </li></ol>

4: ONLINE SERVICES WITH WINDOWS NT Money can not automatically establish an Internet connection in Windows NT, so NT users must start their Internet connection before starting Money to access Online Services.

6: ONLINE SERVICES IN CANADA After entering your bank’s 8-digit routing number while setting up Online Services, you might get a dialog box saying there was a problem retrieving the online setup files and instructing you to try your call again or cancel setup. However, at release time, no Canadian banks offered Online Services. So, your call was probably completed successfully. Check with your bank for future Online Services capabilities.

8: DISPLAY DRIVERS If you’re using an ATI display driver and you notice graphics problems in Money – such as badly drawn graphs and charts, or black bars where your account balances should be – please use the SVGA display driver that comes with Windows.

To check/change your display driver:


 * 1) On the Windows 95 Start menu, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Display.
 * 3) Click the Settings tab.
 * 4) Click Change Display Type.
 * 5) If you see an ATI driver in the Adapter Type field, you may wish to change to the Windows driver.
 * 6) To switch drivers, click the Change button next to the Adapter Type field.
 * 7) Select Show All Devices, then on the Manufacturers menu, highlight (Standard Display Types) from the top of the list.
 * 8) On the Models menu, highlight Super VGA, then click OK. Windows will ask if you want to restart the computer so the change can take effect.

9: PRINTER DRIVERS If you have a Canon BJ-330, C-Itoh 8510, or IBM PPII 2381 printer, you might experience problems printing checks. You can get an updated driver from the manufacturer.
