Dear PC User,

Thank you for downloading #1-TuffTEST-Lite,
our FREE PC Diagnostic Software product. Once
made, the #1-TuffTEST-Lite Program Diskette
is self-booting with its own proprietary
operating system. #1-TuffTEST-Lite is very
unique in that it will "automatically" boot
and rigorously test your PC's basic hardware
in only 10-15 minutes.

It is strongly recommended that you read the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS shown below before
you attempt to install it. Also see the
"whatsnew.txt" file for a review of the new
features, enhancements and fixes since the
last release.

#1-TuffTEST-Lite is the FREEWARE version of
our #1-TuffTEST PC Diagnostic product. There
are absolutely no time limits, restrictions
or limitations on its use or distribution.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please carefully review and print the
following instructions on how to successfully
create a #1-TuffTEST-Lite Program Diskette.

1. Check the file name and size of the
#1-TuffTEST-Lite Installation Wizard. The file
name should be "ttlsetup.exe" and the file
size should be "310 KB (246,212 bytes)". If
for any reason you need to download
ttlsetup.exe again, you can download it at no
charge (onto your hard drive or floppy disk)
from:

http://www.tufftest.com/tt01-lite-dwnld.htm

2. The #1-TuffTEST-Lite Installation Wizard,
ttlsetup.exe, is a self-extracting Windows
program that you "run" under Windows 3.1x,
Windows 95/98, or Windows NT/2000/XP.

3. The Installation Wizard creates a Program
Group with 2 icons. One icon, the Make
#1-TuffTEST-Lite Diskette Wizard, is for
making a self-booting #1-TuffTEST-Lite Program
Diskette whenever needed. And the other icon,
#1-TuffTEST-Lite USE INSTRUCTIONS, is for
viewing and/or printing the #1-TuffTEST-Lite
Use Instructions file (1ttlread.wri). The
default directory is C:\Program Files\TT-Lite.

4. During operation the Make #1-TuffTEST-Lite
Diskette Wizard will automatically open a DOS
Window, create the #1-TuffTEST-Lite Program
Diskette and then automatically return to the
Make #1-TuffTEST-Lite Diskette Wizard.
Therefore, it is very important that your
operating system is configured to allow
running a DOS program under Windows.

NOTE 1 - This is the default Windows setup,
however, unlike Win 95/98, Windows NT/2000/XP
are very touchy about allowing another program
to "write" to a diskette with a non-standard
format and file structure. For this reason you
must run the installation program with full
"Administrator" privileges. If this is not
possible you can put the #1-TuffTEST-Lite
Installation Wizard, ttlsetup.exe, on a floppy
diskette and make your #1-TuffTEST-Lite
Program Diskette on another PC.

NOTE 2 - The Make #1-TuffTEST-Lite Diskette
Wizard will not run properly on systems that
are using "alternative" autoexec.bat and/or
config.sys files. These files may have been
modified (by the user or a program) to run
something like 4-DOS over MS-DOS or to
accommodate running DOS games/programs that
can't run under Windows in a DOS window. In
the latter case, Windows will not let you run
a DOS program under Windows. It will put up a
dialog box asking you if you want to re-start
your system in DOS mode. If you answer yes,
all Windows programs, including our
Windows-based installer, are shut down and the
system is re-started in DOS mode. You can then
run your DOS game/program under DOS. In order
to run the Make #1-TuffTEST-Lite Diskette
Wizard you will need to use the standard
autoexec.bat and config.sys files or use
another PC.

5. The #1-TuffTEST-Lite format and file
structure is not compatible with commercial
operating systems (DOS, Windows, UNIX, etc.).
Thus #1-TuffTEST-Lite's files cannot be "seen"
by these operating systems. So do not attempt
to do native operating system commands such as
"DIR" on them as you MAY DAMAGE the newly
created #1-TuffTEST-Lite Program Diskette.

6. The ONLY way to determine if you have
successfully created your #1-TuffTEST-Lite
Program Diskette is to try to use it as
described in step 7.

7. To test your newly created #1-TuffTEST-Lite
Program Diskette, close all open programs,
shut down Windows, turn off the PC, insert the
#1-TuffTEST-Lite Program Diskette into Drive
A, and then turn on the PC. #1-TuffTEST-Lite
will boot the PC and display its Main Menu in
30-90 seconds.

8. Make sure the "Boot Order" for the target
PC is set at "A, C" in CMOS Setup. If the
configuration is "C, A", or "CDROM, A, C" 
the PC will ignore the #1-TuffTEST-Lite Program
Diskette in Drive A and boot from Drive C.

9. Click on the "Make #1-TuffTEST-Lite
Diskette" Icon to make a #1-TuffTEST-Lite
Program Diskette whenever needed. If the image
write fails make sure you are using a "good"
blank DOS formatted diskette that is "not"
write-protected.

10. Finally, if all efforts fail, you can put
the #1-TuffTEST-Lite Installation Wizard,
ttlsetup.exe, on a floppy diskette and make
your #1-TuffTEST-Lite Program Diskette on
another PC running Windows.
