Last_Update September 3, 1996


Question

Why do I get the message "Bad Serial Number" when I click on the askSam icon?


Answer

The serial number, stored in your askSam.ini file is incorrect (perhaps from installing a new version of askSam).  You must delete the current askSam.ini file.


Resolution

Use the following steps:

1. Open your Windows 3.1 File Manager, Windows 95 Explorer, DOS prompt.

2. Change to the Windows subdirectory

3. Delete the askSam.ini file


You should now be able to enter askSam normally.

"askSam is an essential part of my software tool chest. I can research and collect data from anywhere and any source. Once it is in askSam I can edit, rearrange, organize, and search the information easily. Then I can present it and make it totally useful for other people via the web or CD. Fantastic!"
