DOCUMENT:Q89430 08-NOV-1999 [win95x] TITLE :Problems Exiting Windows with Bitstream FaceLift 2.0 Running PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.0,3.0a,3.1,3.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== If you exit Microsoft Windows while Bitstream FaceLift version 2.0 is running, your system may stop responding (hang). CAUSE ===== Bitstream FaceLift 2.0 uses a cache to store characters it creates. Depending on the option you specify, FaceLift may be saving this cache to a file on your hard disk. FaceLift sends a message to inform you that it is writing characters to the cache. It is this message that conflicts with Windows when you exit to the MS-DOS command prompt. WORKAROUND ========== Use the following steps to disable the message that conflicts with Windows when you exit: 1. Load the FACELIFT.INI file in a text editor (for example, Microsoft Windows Notepad). NOTE: FACELIFT.INI is in the WINDOWS directory. 2. Under the [Settings] section, change "NoDumpMsg=0" to "NoDumpMsg=1" (without the quotation marks). NOTE: This line is not case sensitive. 3. Exit and restart Windows so that the changes can take affect. MORE INFORMATION ================ For more information, contact Bitstream Technical Support. FaceLift is manufactured by Bitstream, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
