As usually happens with the EFsoft programs, the only thing that you have to do is to simply copy program into a folder. In this case there is not any any particular name to apply to the folder, you may load it into the folder that you wish, and that it is all.
As soon as program has been installed you have only to push the RED button the first time. Beiing the code no longer included into Pointer program it is unable to check system by itself and therefore you will see to Input Boxes requesting to inform Red Alert if and where are in your system the files PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE. (These two files are very common items and i assume they are in your system also. On the contrary get them otherwise yuo will not be able to use program. Dont forget that also theVB5 Runtime is requested being my programs developped by Visual Basic) After your reply, giving path of the Zipping files, program will save your system files zippimg them into the C: drive root directory along with a dos Bat file that needs to reistate crashed computer. After the first time you will have only to push the Red button to upgrade your securityfile ( mantaining backup of the previous item if you wish). If unfortunately your system crash, close all, bootstrap a Dos session and symply digit'' Syspoint'' thence restart computer. Windows will be start immediatly even if with the setting relating you last saving which date appears on the bottom of the program.
You may dowload this program separately or as part of Pointset.Zip file I suggest, before using it, be sure to backup your system files even if i used program for a long time without any trouble. To obtain the best result Pkzip and Pkunzip should be located into C: root directory. This choice is due to the fact that if a crash happens you may be able sometime to see the drive C: but for some reasons you could not reach other directories. The suggested position, therefore, grant you the possibility to surely reach all the files you need to restore you Windows system. I also suggest to ask for a backup file before to save an upgraded configuration. This BAK file, if something go wrong, will contain anyway a valid copy of your system files that will enable you to recover the use of your machine.
do not use under Win2K/XP
