Windows 98 on Apricot MS Series systems and Easy Manager

A previous IPB (1055) details an issue with Windows 98 on MS Series computers in conjunction with the remote control software – a component of Apricot Easy Manager. After investigating this issue, another problem between Easy Manager and Windows 98 has been highlighted, in that the message light (and on systems with it fitted the message button) also does not function as expected.

The added features and facilities on the MS series systems that are provided by Easy Manager were designed for use with Windows 95. Easy Manager is tightly integrated with a number of core components in the OEM supplied version of Windows 95 as supplied on the MS Series systems, and as such will NOT operate with the same degree of functionality under Windows 98, which has a different driver and kernel structure.

Both of the above problems have been investigated, but due to the nature of the Easy Manager product, Mitsubishi Electric PC Division will NOT be releasing an upgrade to Easy Manager for use with Windows 98. Also, the existing Easy Manager product will NOT be supported on systems running Windows 98.
