Installation problems

Other questions

The Netware server does not support long file names, installation fails

The TypingMaster 2001 installation package has a few files containing long file names. To install the TypingMaster to the Netware server which does not support longer than DOS 8+3 file names, complete the following steps:
  1. Install the TypingMaster 2001 to any Windows 95/98/NT workstation as server installation
  2. Copy all the files from the program directory (c:\program files\TypingMaster 2001) to the Netware server, excluding the *.HTML and *.GIF files containing long file names.

Why ProTrainer does not appear on Workstations

By default, ProTrainer is not installed by NETSETUP.  You need to edit NETSETUP.INI to add ProTrainer support, contact support team for details.

Why centralized settings do not affect immediately? (Win95/98)

This problem occurs if Windows 95/98 is used as a server to share a TypingMaster resource. 

Reason: Windows 98 keeps the INI settings sometimes in an internal cache memory and does not save these to the hard disk immediately. 
Resolution: It is recommended to use Windows NT or other server operating system for the server purpose.  If using Windows 95/98, reopen the TM Manager to make settings appear immediately. 

Can User Manager be password protected?

The File Permissions of the server can be used to limit the Managerusage for authorized users only. Remove Read permissions of TM2001MGR.EXE from normal users.
