CATEGORY:  Software Solutions / Miscellaneous

EFFECTIVE DATE:  02 April 1996

PRODUCTS AFFECTED:  Presario 9200 Series and 9600 Series in North America only

OPERATING SYSTEM:  Windows 95

SUPERSEDES:  N/A

DESCRIPTION:  In North America, three software titles were "locked" on the hard drive of Presario 9200 and 9600 units.  These titles were Sim City Classic, Instant Calendar, and Key Home Gardener.  These titles were automatically unlocked when the customer registered their computer.  A file named FREESW.BAT was inadvertently left on the hard drive in the C:\REGISTER\CRAM subdirectory, which, if run, would delete the executable files for each of these applications.  This softpaq will allow the customer to restore those executables.  The file FREESW.BAT will also be deleted from the hard drive.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Create a temporary directory on your hard drive called SP1596.

2.  Download the SoftPaq to the SP1596 directory and change to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is SP1596.EXE.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file:
    SP1596 [ENTER]
    The following files will be created:
    SP1596.DOC
    INSTALL.BAT
    SCW.EXE
    CCWIN.EXE
    WNKHG.EXE

4.  From the Windows 95 desktop, select Start, Run...
    Type: C:\SP1596\INSTALL.BAT and click on OK.

5.  The three free software titles will be restored and the file FREESW.BAT will be removed from your hard drive.

6.  You may delete the SP1596 subdirectory if you wish.
