Important Information
=====================

Thank you for purchasing WinOptimizer 99 DELUXE, the 
new Windows optimization and cleanup program from 
Hilchner & Lesani. You will find that WinOptimizer is a 
powerful tool that will help you to eliminate unnecessary 
ballast and keep your Windows system running smoothly and 
efficiently.

This file contains some important additional information 
not included in the program documentation. Please read it 
carefully before beginning.


Older Versions of WinOptimizer
------------------------------
Please UNINSTALL all previous versions of the program 
before installing WinOptimizer 99 DELUXE. 


Computers with Multiple Operating Systems
-----------------------------------------
WARNING: Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when using this 
program on computers with more than one operating system 
installed. Failure to observe this warning may result in 
serious problems, which can vary depending on the nature 
of your system configuration.

The DLL Search function is particularly risky on 
computers with more than one OS installed and should only 
be executed by users who are absolutely sure that they 
know what they’re doing!

This applies in particular for dual-boot systems with 
Windows 9x and Windows NT installations on the same 
partition. NT and Windows 9x have many objects with 
identical names, and assuming that these are unnecessary 
duplicates and deleting them can lead to serious system 
malfunctions.

You can avoid most of these problems if you install your 
operating systems on separate partitions and use a modern 
boot manager (like PTS Boot Manager 98 SUPRA) that hides 
the partitions containing the systems that are not 
currently active. However, you may still experience some 
problems if you have applications referencing the hidden 
operating system installed on visible partitions.

Alternatively, you can also exclude the partitions 
containing your other operating systems from 
WinOptimizer’s searches with the Drives To Search 
settings under Options.

As a general rule of thumb, never delete ANYTHING on 
multiple OS systems unless you are 100% sure that the 
items you are deleting are not needed by any of your 
systems!


Emptying the Recycle Bin 
------------------------
We recommend that you always empty the Recycle Bin before 
using WinOptimizer. 

The capacity of the Recycle Bin is limited. If you delete 
a large amount of data without emptying it first you may 
find that you cannot restore some files from the Recycle 
Bin when you need them again!


The WinOptimizer Screen Saver
-----------------------------
This product is shipped with a special screen saver that 
can optimize your system automatically whenever it 
activates. When you install it, it appears in the Screen 
Saver list in the Display Properties as "WinOptimizer 
99 DELUXE". 

Since some users may not wish to use this function the 
screen saver is not installed automatically. You can
choose to install it together with WinOptimizer by 
selecting the appropriate option in the setup program.

Please see the enclosed documentation for information on 
the screen saver’s capabilities and how to configure and 
use it. 

WARNING: If you configure the screen saver to delete 
unnecessary files please take care that it doesn’t 
activate automatically while you are installing 
applications! Installation programs often create 
temporary files and folders that the screen saver will 
believe are unnecessary, and this can lead to problems, 
causing the installation to abort.

The best solution is to always DEACTIVATE the screen 
saver before installing software. Alternatively, you can 
set the activation period to a high value that will make 
sure that the screen saver does not activate. 


Issues with Windows 2000 (and above)
------------------------------------
WARNING: We cannot guarantee that this application will 
work properly with systems running Windows 2000 or above!
