If you see this message, keep the newer version of Mapi32.dll.

If you do not have the newer version of Mapi32.dll, you may have difficulty using Schedule+ for group scheduling. If you are having problems with group scheduling and if you did not keep the newer version of Mapi32.dll during setup, you need to reinstall the Microsoft Exchange Update. Instructions for doing so can be found in the "Removing or Reinstalling Schedule+ or Microsoft Exchange Update" section of this file.

NOTE: Reinstalling the Microsoft Exchange Update may lead to the "Reg32.cfg" problem described in the "Synchronization" section. If it does, reinstall Schedule+ 7.0a after reinstalling the Microsoft Exchange Update to fix the problem. _______________________________________________________________ 4.5 OPTIONAL COMPONENTS

several additional components that may be of interest to you. For example, the Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking Upgrade can be installed if you need to support direct modem connections to your desktop computer from your mobile device. The Windows 95 Infrared Support directory contains software to support infrared connectivity on your desktop computer. Consult the Readme or Release Note information in each Optional Component directory for details on the features and issues of each component. If you install Windows CE Services via a network connection to a shared CD-ROM drive and then install the Windows 95 Infrared Support software contained in Optional Components, Setup will alert you that the file Infrared.inf could not be opened. The workaround is to copy the Microsoft Windows 95 Infrared Support Software directory to your hard drive and install it from there. NOTE: Infrared support for Windows NT is not available. You may need to install the Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.2 if you are a Windows 95 user and want to establish an outbound dial-up networking connection (such as a connection to your Internet service provider or corporate network) while device connections are enabled on your computer, or if you want to use a modem connected to your desktop computer for remote device connections. Read the Readme file in the directory for more information on the features and issues of this upgrade.

You should read the Dial-Up Networking 1.2 Release Notes.doc and About PPTP and Dial-Up Networking 1.2.doc files in the \Windows directory after installing the dial-up networking software. Certain software may need to be reinstalled after upgrading dial-up networking, and these documents describe the issues in greater detail.

If you install the Dial-Up Networking 1.2 Upgrade and lose network connectivity, perform the following steps to correct the problem:

1. In Network Control Panel, double-click TCP/IP -> Dial-Up Adapter. 2. Click the Bindings tab. 3. Select Client for Microsoft Networks. 4. Click OK to all dialog boxes.

The Mobile Channels feature on your Palm-size PC requires Internet Explorer 4.0 or later with Active Desktop to perform Channel synchronization with your desktop system.

If you do not have a CD-ROM drive on the PC where you want to install Windows CE Services, then locate another computer with a CD-ROM drive and a 3.5" 1.44 MB drive. Use the following steps to create disks for installation:

1. Obtain enough blank, formatted 3.5" 1.44 MB disks to hold the components you want to install. 2. On the CD-ROM, open the Floppy directory. The Floppy directory contains several component folders, each containing one or more Disk folders. You will create one disk for each disk folder. Label each disk with the name of the component and the disk number. For example, you will label three disks with "Windows CE Services Disk 1" to Disk 3. 3. On the CD-ROM, open the first component directory. For example, open Windows CE Services. 4. Copy all of the files in each of the Disk directories (for example, Disk1, Disk2, Disk3) to the corresponding disks you made in step 2.

NOTE: Do not copy the Disk1, Disk2, and Disk3 folders to the disks; copy the files inside these folders to the disks.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each component directory.
