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.
