Copies of Norton pcAnywhere32 version 7.0 made in the first month or so of production have a major security flaw. If run as a service on NT Server or Workstation, the program allows clients to gain administrative access to the system. On a client with pc Anywhere, you just go straight to the pc Anywhere FileManager without logging on. If you bought the product in the last 60 days, you get a free upgrade to version 7.5, which fixes the problem. Otherwise, you'll have to cough up $19.95 to upgrade-there's no separate patch available.
If you've got a PC problem that can only be solved in Safe Mode, you could be confronted by an erroneous Registry-error dialog box. You'll have no choice but to let Windows 95 restore the Registry from a backup copy, and that will trash what you rectify during the Safe Mode session. Using Regedit and saving the Registry files to another location won't help. Here's the cure: Make your changes during Safe Mode, then have Registry Editor export the Registry to the Startup group, and reboot in normal mode. The Registry changes are incorporated during the reboot, after which you should remove the export from the Startup group.
Pssst! If you install Microsoft Works 95, you'd better like it-there's no uninstall. But wait: Doesn't that violate the Win95 logo requirements established by ... what's that company again?
