***** 2. Creating floppy disks of the CD-ROM installation *****

If you do not have a CD-ROM drive on the PC that you wish to install H/PC Explorer on, then locate another machine with a CD-ROM drive and a 3.5" 1.44MB floppy drive. Use the following steps to create disks for floppy installation:

1. Find 9 blank, formatted 3.5" 1.44MB floppy disks.

***** 3. Installing H/PC Explorer from floppy disks *****

There are three components that may need to be installed for H/PC Explorer to work correctly. Install (or determine that you do not require) them using the following instructions:

   Install the Microsoft Exchange Update

        1. You only need to install the Microsoft Exchange Update if you
           have installed the version of Microsoft Exchange that came with
           Windows 95. If Microsoft Exchange is already installed on your
           computer, you can find the version in the About Microsoft
           Exchange dialog box under the Help menu. If the version is
           4.0.410.59, you must install the update. If Microsoft Exchange
           is not installed, or the version number is greater than
           4.0.410.59, DO NOT install the Microsoft Exchange Update.
        2. The Microsoft Exchange Update can potentially cause serious
           problems if installed on non-U.S. English versions of Windows
           95. See section 5 of this README file for further details.
        3. Insert the disk labeled "Microsoft Exchange Update Disk1" into
           drive a:
        4. From the Start Menu, choose Run.
        5. Type a:\setup and click OK.

   Install Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0a

        1. You only need to install Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0a if you don't
           already have Schedule+ 7.0a installed. You can check which
           version is installed by looking at the introduction screen that
           appears when you run Schedule+. If the version in the lower
           right corner of this screen is 7.0a, DO NOT install Schedule+
           7.0a from the floppy disks you made.
        2. Insert the disk labelled "Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0a Disk1" into
           drive a:
        3. From the Start Menu, choose Run.
        4. Type a:\setup and click OK.

   Install H/PC Explorer

        1. Insert the disk labelled "Microsoft H/PC Explorer Disk1" into
           drive a:
        2. From the Start Menu, choose Run.
        3. Type a:\setup and click OK.

If you encounter any errors during H/PC Explorer Setup, the H/PC Explorer Help will assist you in finding the solution to the problem. To use H/PC Explorer Help, run H/PC Explorer by double-clicking its icon on the Windows desktop, or by selecting "Start -> Programs -> H/PC Explorer -> H/PC Explorer".

Once H/PC Explorer is running, select "Help -> H/PC Explorer Help Topics". In the "Contents" tab, double-click "Troubleshooting -> Communications problems -> Help me fix a specific communications error". Follow all the steps detailed in the Help.

If you cannot start H/PC Explorer, re-install H/PC Explorer by following the steps in the first section of this README file.

***** 5. H/PC Explorer on International versions of Windows 95 *****

The software products that come with your H/PC, including H/PC Explorer, the Microsoft Exchange Update, and Schedule+ 7.0a, are all U.S. English versions. Installation on versions of Windows 95 other than the U.S. English version is not supported.

Known issues include:

- The Microsoft Exchange Update can cause serious problems if installed on

  non-U.S. English versions of Windows 95. Installing this update on any
  installation of Windows 95 other than the U.S. English version is not
  recommended or supported.

  automatically dismissed. When you click OK to dismiss it, you will be
  asked if you want to reboot your computer. Clicking Yes may abort setup
  prematurely.

  setup is complete.

These are the known issues; others may arise depending on the version of Windows 95 you are running as well as your particular software configuration.

***** 6. To remove/reinstall Schedule+ or Microsoft Exchange Update *****

If you need to uninstall or reinstall either Schedule+ 7.0a or the Microsoft Exchange Update from your computer, you need to use the setup programs on the CD-ROM that came with your H/PC. Attempting to do this by using Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel will not work correctly.

     To uninstall or reinstall the Microsoft Exchange Update:
        - Insert the H/PC Explorer CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
        - Click the Start button, and choose Run.
        - Type "d:\exupdusa\exupdusa.exe" where d: is the drive letter for
          your CD-ROM, and press Enter.
        - When the installation program runs, follow the instructions
          provided. You will be given a number of options during the setup,
          including Remove All, which will uninstall Microsoft Exchange,
          and Reinstall, which will reinstall the Microsoft Exchange
          Update.

     To uninstall or reinstall Schedule+ 7.0a:
        - Insert the H/PC Explorer CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
        - Click the Start button, and choose Run.
        - Type "d:\splus70a\disk1\setup.exe" where d: is the drive letter
          for your CD-ROM, and press Enter.
        - When the installation program runs, follow the instructions
          provided. You will be given a number of options during the setup,
          including Remove All, which will uninstall Microsoft Schedule+
          7.0a, and Reinstall, which will reinstall the Microsoft Schedule+
          7.0a.

***** 7. If you are asked to replace MAPI32.DLL during setup *****

During H/PC Explorer setup, you may be warned that you are about to replace the currently installed MAPI32.DLL with an earlier version. If you see this message, choose to keep the newer version of MAPI32.DLL.

If you do not have the newer version of MAPI32.DLL, you may have difficulty using Schedule+ for group scheduling. If you are having problems with group scheduling, and if you did not keep the newer version of MAPI32.DLL during setup, you need to reinstall the Microsoft Exchange Update. Instructions for doing so can be found in section 6 of this README file.

NOTE: Reinstalling the Microsoft Exchange Update may lead to the problem described in section 8 of this README file. If it does, reinstall Schedule+ 7.0a after reinstalling the Microsoft Exchange Update to fix the problem.

***** 8. If Schedule+ says it cannot open the file req32.cfg *****

If an error message appears stating that Schedule+ cannot open the file req32.cfg, it is likely that you installed the Microsoft Exchange Update after you installed Schedule+ 7.0a. To fix this problem, reinstall Schedule+ 7.0a as described in section 6 of this README file.
