Use this checklist to find and remedy the most common installation
problems when using Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
• Make sure your PC starts normally (without any error messages)
and can run other software.
• Make sure Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 is installed and
working correctly. Windows 3.1 should be operating in its
Enhanced mode. Try running other Windows software such as
Paintbrush, Notepad, or Calculator to see if they run properly.
• Be sure to reboot your computer after installing Windows so
that the Windows subdirectory is added to your path. If the
OmniPage Limited Edition installation program cannot find your
Windows subdirectory in the path, the installation program may
terminate.
• Make sure your system has at least 8MB of free RAM for
OmniPage Limited Edition. More may be needed if you want to
load other programs at the same time or use OCR Aware.
• Make sure your scanner is plugged in, turned on, and that it is
working according to the specifications. If you have not done
that, it is important to do so now, before continuing with
troubleshooting. If you have another software package that uses
your scanner, use it to see whether the problem is specific to
OmniPage Limited Edition or common to other programs.
• If you are using a disk cache program (other than the
VPDUWGUYH[H
program included with Windows 3.1),
temporarily disable it and try to install again. Some cache
programs interfere with proper memory allocation.
Once you complete the installation, re-enable the cache program
and make sure it works. You should never run Windows
without a disk cache program — performance will not be
acceptable. In most cases, you will want to use
• Windows 3.1 From the Windows Program Manager, choose
About Program Manager from the Help menu to determine the
mode in which Windows is operating and the amount of
available memory. Windows 3.1 should be running in Enhanced
mode and report at least 6 MB (9 MB preferred) of free memory.
Consult the Windows installation and configuration information.
• Windows 95: Double-click the "My Computer" icon and choose
About Windows 95 under the Help menu to see the amount of
memory and system resources you have.
