#PAR + Win 95 working !!!
3 messages in this thread
To all,
I'm not sure how many PAR users will benefit from this information, but I'll
post it anyway. Like many of you, I installed Win ' 95 only to find that I
couldn't use it with with the PAR drive and PARVCR.EXE. Well , there is way.
I found that if you edit the PARVCR.INI file located in the Windows directory
and manually write in the files you want to use under the [Recent File List]
section, you can then open PARVCR while in Windows 95 and click on the files
directly (dont use 'Open').
For example, my PARVCR.INI file looks like this.
[Last Window Pos]
Left=167
Top=274
Width=320
[Preferences]
Rec Frames=300
Rec Prj=D:\DPS_PAR\REC_AD.PRJ
Rec Ani=G:\REC_AB.ANI
Rec Wav=D:\DPS_PAR\REC_AD.WAV
Rec Name=recd_AAB
[Recent File List]
File1=G:\FIRST\PROJECT1.ANI
File1=G:\FIRST\PROJECT2.ANI
When I run PARVCR.EXE and click on 'File', I can click on either 'project1.ani'
or 'project2.ani'. If you don't see the section [Recent File List], simply add
it in. I have only tried this on one single computer, but I would be interested
to know if this works for anyone else or if there is a better way. Let me
know.
Also, I don't have Razor Pro yet, but maybe a similar solution could be
implemented using this technique as well.
Thanks

I'm just trying to get my PAR DOS working with my CDROM. I can see the driver
load but I think the Par is then loading and dumping my cdrom. I have Par DOS,
3DS and all working in W95 dos but without the CDROM! Any suggestions to this?

Rich,
I had a similar problem with my drives after installing Win 95. When Win 95
installed itself, it Rem 'd all my DOS CD ROM drivers in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files. In addition, it added the statement LASTDRIVE=F to my
CONFIG.SYS file. I'm sure it had a good reason to do this, such as using its
own CD ROM drivers instead of mine, but I simply un Rem 'd those DOS CD ROM
drivers and changed LASTDRIVE=F to LASTDRIVE=Z (My last drive is actually my G:
drive which is the PAR).
Hope this helps
Don
