Windows 2000 Issues

Windows 2000 Professional does not pose any significant problems for Shop Trac.  Several issues have come forward in recent months, and this Tech Tip was created to provide information on these issues.  If and when new issues arise, we will add to this list:

bulletShop Trac works best when run in a window as opposed to a full screen.  The reason for this is that Windows 2000 allocates resources differently for full screen DOS applications.  Shop Trac has no problems running in a full screen mode, but it may affect other programs tat are running.
bulletHow do I print to a non local printer?  The "Capture Printer" button that was available in earlier Windows has been removed from Windows 2000.  To connect to a network printer you need to use the "NET USE" command.  For example:  To connect LPT1: to a printer called HP on computer named SERVER use the command:  NET USE LPT1: \\SERVER\HP  from a command prompt.  We recommend that you place this command in a BATCH file and add this batch file to the Startup folder in your Start Menu to make this connection each time the computer is turned on.
