into
the NPED directory?
Different operating systems store the software in different
locations. By locating WordPad in the same directory as NPED it
can function on more computers. In addition the search time to
locate the program is less if NPED can point directly to the folder
with WordPad.exe.

16. I requested a report but
WordPad does not respond. Why?
Windows will only let one program access a the [ zreport.rtf ]
file at a time.
All of the reports are written to the file zreport.rtf in the NPED
directory. If WordPad has any NPED file open the request to
overwrite zreport.rtf will not work. Close the Open WordPad
session and request the report again. On my machine when the
WordPad session in minimized, the start menu reflects the file WordPad
is
working on [ zreport.rtf ]. If you see [
zreport.rtf ] on the start bar close
that WordPad session.
17. The computer shut down or was
rebooted while NPED was running. What do I do if NPED will not

Run the program reorg.exe found in the folder with NPED.
It will fix most problems. If that does not work you must restore
the database files Ped_db.db and Ped_db.idx from your backup files.
18. How do I remove PED or NPED
from my computer?
PED and NPED do not contain files other than thoes store in the
new applicaton directory. They do not update the registery. If
you delete the application directory you have removed all traces of the
applications.

22. How do I run the FAQs that were

The FAQs are store FAQs folder under
NPED. In Windows Explorer click on [ index.html ] in the

browser should then open the FAQs. If you used a different folder
name look for the FAQs under your application directory.

24. What does it mean when I get
the message "Sharing violation reading drive X"
When you get this message it means there is another activity

This can
happen if you have a NPED session already running. Check for [
NPED AllApps ] or [ Nped Limited ] or one of the NPED batch jobs
on the start bar.
