      TIPS FOR CORRECTING JEWELRY SHOPKEEPER ICONS FOR A

               WINDOWS COMPUTER ON A NETWORK

  (for a workstation/slave, not the server/master computer)

 

These tips can help you resolve some simple network problems, but if

the problem is more tricky then you'll need to have the person who

configured your network correct it.

*****************************************************

 

These simple steps may work in many cases:

------------------------------------------

Restart the Server/Main computer, then once it's back up restart the

other computer(s). If that doesn't fix it try these steps.

 

1)  At the Windows 95/98/ME desktop RIGHT-click Shop-Pro icon

2)  Choose properties

3)  Choose Program

4)  NOTE the drive letter at the beginning of the WORKING folder (eg.

  F: or E: or  G: or J: etc.)

5)  Click CANCEL

6)  Double-click Network Neighborhood / Network Places

7)  (If using Windows ME, double-click on the Entire Network icon)

8)  Double-click the Computer icon that is the SERVER computer

9)  RIGHT-click the DRIVE where the COMPLINK.JS folder is located (e.g.

  C:, or D:) - but click the drive itself, NOT the complink.js folder

10) Choose MAP NETWORK DRIVE

11) OFF THE PICK LIST, choose the DRIVE LETTER OF THE WORKING FOLDER YOU

  NOTED IN STEP 4.

12) Click OK

13) Try Shop-Pro
