SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to share Clipboard Viewer pages in Windows 95, the relevant buttons
(for example, the Share, Stop Sharing, Connect, and Disconnect buttons) are
missing and there is no Connect command on the File menu.

CAUSE
=====

The Clipboard Viewer tool that is included with Windows 95 does not have sharing
functionality.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you install Windows 95 over Windows for Workgroups version 3.x and during
Setup choose to not install the Windows 95 Clipboard Viewer, Windows 95 retains
the Windows for Workgroups ClipBook Viewer, which has sharing functionality.

For ClipBook Viewer to have the Share option, NETDDE must be running. Place a
shortcut to Netdde.exe (from the Windows folder) in the Startup folder to cause
NETDDE to run automatically at every startup.
