SUMMARY
=======

If you are experiencing problems setting up the Windows Entertainment Pack 1
(WEP 1), check the following:

1. Boot the system clean (boot with your DOS system floppy disk). The WEP does
  not require Windows to be in protected mode (standard or enhanced). As a
  result, by simply booting with a DOS floppy disk, you will eliminate any TSR
  or memory-resident utilities that load on boot.

2. Check for available disk space. The WEP requires 70K of hard disk space to
  load. Also, the WEP copies two files, WINBINXZ.EXE and WEPSETUP.INF to the
  WINDOWS directory to run the Setup program. These files are deleted after
  Setup is completed, but the Windows directory needs enough disk space to hold
  these two files.

3. If all else fails, decompress the WEP files using the Expand utility
  (EXPAND.EXE) found on Disk 2 of your Windows 3.00 disks, onto your hard drive
  and build your own program group and icons.
