Subject: Laplink for Windows 95

March 1997

When using Laplink for Windows 95 and the Client system has a GrafixStar 600 installed, the Client system might lock-up when the host is connected.

This problem can be fixed by disabling bitmap caching in the GrafixStar 600 driver. There are two ways of disabling bitmap caching.

Disabling bitmap caching in systems with SmartTools installed

SmartTools v2.0 or later comes with a feature called SmartMAX. SmartMAX allows you to disable certain parts of the GrafixStar driver. To use SmartMAX, right-click the Windows 95 desktop and click Properties while holding down the CTRL key. In the Display Properties window click the SmartMAX tab and select the checkbox next to “Disable Bitmap Caching”. Click OK and restart Windows 95.

Disabling bitmap caching in systems without SmartTools

Add the following entry to the bottom of your SYSTEM.INI file:

[VideoLogic SVGA]
TuningControl=27 
RealizeControl=16 

Save the changes and restart Windows 95.
