TROUBLESHOOTING & SETUP ISSUES
------------------------------

I.  WINDOWS 95 and NT USERS:

This is the 16-bit version of PowWow.   We recommend you use the 32-bit
version of PowWow under Windows 95 and NT.  You may download it from:

                <http://www.tribal.com/powwow/download/>

on our World-Wide Web site.



II.  IBM WIN-OS2 USERS:

If you receive a GPF during the setup process, switch from a Windowed to
a Full-Screen WIN-OS2 session and re-run setup.



III.  SETUP DOES NOT COMPLETE

If PowWow Setup reports any of the following:

o   cannot find _SETUP.DLL and _ISRES.DLL files,

o   cannot find a location to store temporary files in,

o   cannot decompress or copy files

or otherwise cannot continue the installation process then it is very likely
there is a problem with your temporary directory.

The setup program requires your computer have a temporary directory on your
hard disk to unpack files used during the setup process. At the end of the
setup process these files are removed.  To make a temporary directory on your
computer first create the directory and then add a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file which says:

        SET TEMP={pathname of temporary directory}

If you use Windows 95 or NT, make sure the directory uses a short ("8.3"-style)
name, not a long-name like "C:\Temporary Files".

For example, you could use:

        SET TEMP=C:\TEMP

for your temporary directory.  The drive which has the temporary directory
should have at least 4Mb of disk space free.


NOTE: If you have done all the above and still receive errors while running
      Setup delete the contents of the temporary directory and re-run Setup.
