------- PSA Cards 3.0 for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 ------
VERSION 3.0 WILL READ FILES WRITTEN BY EARLIER VERSIONS.
VERSIONS OLDER THAN 3.0 WILL NOT READ VERSION 3.0 FILES.
DESCRIPTION
PSA Cards is an easy to use address program. It looks
like a card file and it works like a card file. Just
click on a divider tab or card to open or close it.
PSA Cards is also an OLE 2.0 container application.
This means that you can link or imbed objects
(pictures, maps, documents, sound and video clips)
created in other programs in your PSA Cards entries.
For a list of new features and bug fixes, see the readme.txt
file after completing the installation.
********************** INSTALLATION **********************
INSTALLING FROM A FLOPPY DISK
Run the setup program, setup.exe, from the Program
Manager, Start menu, or Explorer.
LOCKED FILES
If the setup program cannot replace an earlier version
of a file because it is already in use, restart (reboot)
you computer after the installation. When a file can't
be replaced because it is locked by another application,
the setup program writes a file called wininit.ini in the
Windows directory. This file contains information on how to
replace files as the system is started. Windows looks for
this file on system startup.
IF SETUP.EXE WON'T LOAD
Occasionally, setup.exe will not load. This usually occurs
when a previous InstallSHIELD installation has failed and
left junk in your C:\TEMP directory.
If this happens to you, use the Explorer to clean out
your C:\TEMP directory. Then try the installation again. This
is a problem with the Stirling Technology InstallSHIELD system.
Hopefully they will provide a fix for this soon.
The install program can also be prevented from loading by
some virus protection programs. Of course the solution to
this problem to turn off your virus protection program while
you run the installation.
INSTALLING IN AN EXISTING DIRECTORY
When installling in an existing directory and running
Windows NT 4.0, you may get a "General file transfer error".
If this happens, try deleting the directory and then
installing. Be sure to save any data files that you may
in the directory before deleting it.
UNINSTALL PROGRAM
The install program implements an uninstall feature
that will remove PSA Cards from your system. To access this
program, click on Settings command in the Start Menu, then
the Control Panel, and finally double click the Add/Remove
Program icon.
In Windows NT, double click the Uninstall icon in the
PSA Cards program group. Be sure you want to uninstall
PSA Cards before doing this. Once started in Windows NT,
the program immediately proceeds to uninstall PSA Cards.
If you have added files to the PSA Cards directory,
Uninstall will not delete the directory. Nor will it
delete data files (other than sample.car) that you have
created in the PSA Cards directory.
IF YOU ARE CONVERTING FROM PSA CARDS FOR WINDOWS 3.1, READ THIS:
When you install PSA Cards for Windows 3.1 on a computer running
Windows 95, or when you install Windows 95 over Windows 3.1 with
PSA Cards already installed, there will be a "PSA Cards" program
folder on the Windows 95 Start menu. When you install PSA Cards
for Windows 95/NT 4.0 on a computer running Windows 95, a program
icon named "PSA Cards Win 32" will appear on the Start menu.
Since the InstallSHIELD Windows 95 installation routine does
not check for the presence of the old PSA Cards program folder
from the Windows 3.1 version, you will need to remove it from the
Start menu manually. To do this, right click on the Start menu,
open the Programs folder, find the old PSA Cards program folder,
and drag it to the Recycle Bin.
