            RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

*******************************************************************



This update was designed to fix the above issue with Windows 98

notebook computers; however, this update is suitable for all 

Windows 95 or 98 machines running LANtastic server. 



The file INSTALL.BAT is designed to be run from within Windows, in

either Normal Mode or Safe Mode. The file can be run by double-clicking

it from Explorer, run from a Command Prompt, or by using Start | Run.

In Safe Mode you may receive a warning about MS-DOS programs running

in Safe Mode - you may ignore this message and proceed. Executing the 

file INSTALL.BAT will automatically rename the existing .VXD files with  

a .000 extension, and copy the new files to the proper location. The 

machine must then be rebooted to complete the update. 



Applying the update manually

****************************

Extract the update files to a temporary folder of your choosing. Then

click Start | Find | Files or Folders, and search for the file

VLTSERV.VPE (be sure the "Look in" parameter is set to search the C:\

root or the Windows install directory). Once this file is located, click

File | Rename, and rename it to VLTSERV.000. Do the same thing with the

file VSVRSNB.VPE. Once these files have been renamed, copy the update 

files to the \<windows>\system directory. Once these files have been 

copied, restart the machine and the update will be complete.



Reapplying the update

*********************

The install program checks for the existance of VLTSERV.000 - if this

file is located it assumes the update has already been applied and will

abort. If you wish to reapply the update we recommend you rename the 

files VLTSERV.000 and VSVRSNB.000 located in the \<windows>\system

directory noted in the section above. Once these files have been

renamed, the update can be successfully reapplied.
