DESKPROTO 	SETUP TROUBLESHOOTING



Problem 1:	"Failed to create empty document"
		(CD installation only)

The DeskProto release CD is configured to automatically
start a program showing the "Install menu". Here you 
can choose to install, to read manuals, to copy bonus 
geometry and software, and more.
On some old versions of Windows 95 this install menu 
refuses to start, displaying the error message "Failed 
to create empty document". In such case you will have
to start Setup.exe (at the root of the CD) to install.
You can do so using the Run option in the Start menu.

		

Problem 2:	Setup quits halfway
		(dongle version)

If the DeskProto Setup quits during installation of 
the files (when the progress bar is around 16%),
Windows is not able to register the DLL 'DpKernel.dll'
which is needed to run DeskProto.

This might be caused by the absence of 'RegSvr32.exe',
which is needed to register this DLL. 'RegSvr32.exe'
should be placed in the Windows/System directory.
Therefore you have to install a servicepack for your
Windows version.

Another cause can be that one of the DLL's which are
used by 'DpKernel.dll' are absent or of the wrong
version. When you use Windows 95 it is most likely
that the OpenGL DLL's are missing or of the wrong
version. These are needed for graphical drawings.
To get the right versions see below.

OpenGL for Windows 9x/NT
    OpenGL 1.1 for Windows 95 is included in the Windows
    95 OSR 2 release. The libraries are also available
    as the self-extracting archive file on the Microsoft
    ftp site at
    ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/opengl95.exe.
    This contains 'opengl32.dll' which is needed to run
    OpenGL programs under Win95. Check the READ.ME file
    for installation instructions.
    OpenGL 1.1 is bundled with Windows NT 4.0.



Problem 3:	Changing the system date
		(trial version)

Do not (!) change your system date to any future date
during the trial period. This will reduce the trial period
and cannot be undone anymore. Also changing the time of 
the day might lead to problems.
DeskProto will give an error message in case you have
changed the system date to an earlier date.
