56 Troubleshooting

The WG1001 disk included with this Application Note contains an updated SERIAL.386 driver
that corrects both of these problems.

To install the updated SERIAL.386 file:

1.

Quit Windows for Workgroups.

2.

To make a backup copy of the currently installed SERIAL.386 file:

a.

At the MS-DOS command prompt, type:

ren <drive>:<path>\serial.386 serial.old

where <drive>:<path> is the location of your Windows SYSTEM subdirectory.

b.

Press ENTER.

For example, if your Windows directory is called WINDOWS and is on drive C, type the
following at the MS-DOS command prompt, then press ENTER:

ren c:\windows\system\serial.386 serial.old

3.

Insert the enclosed WG1001 disk in the appropriate floppy disk drive.

4.

To copy the file to the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory:

a.

At the MS-DOS command prompt, type:

copy <drive>:\serial.386 <destination>

where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the WG1001 disk and
<destination>

is the drive and directory of your Windows SYSTEM subdirectory.

b.

Press ENTER.

For example, if the WG1001 disk is in drive A and your Windows directory is called
WINDOWS

and is on drive C, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then

press ENTER:

copy a:\serial.386 c:\windows\system

7.2 Documenter Problems

Make sure you have a Windows printer driver installed. From Program Manager, double-click on Control
Panel, then double-click on Printers. Use this dialog to install printer drivers.

The Documenter depends upon the installed printer driver. An old printer driver may cause printing, sizing,
font, or drawing problems.

7.3 Display Problems

If dialogs start using fonts that seem too large. . .

If large white spaces start appearing in dialogs. . .

If incorrect colors start appearing in dialogs. . .

These symptoms usually indicate Windows is running low on System Resources. Try closing other run-
ning applications. If the problem persists, rebooting Windows will clean up any fragmentation in the Sys-
tem Resources and make the maximum amount of resources available.
