     Appendix B - SOFTWARE LIMITATIONS                                1(1)

     Product involved: AXIS ThinWizard
     Software version: 2.00
     --------------------------------------------------------------------

     1. When running the ThinWizard server on Windows 95/98/Me or
        Unix platforms, AXIS PrintPoint 140 BJC, AXIS 9010 and all
        AXIS camera servers are not supported.

     2. Multi-configuration is not supported for the following types
        of Axis servers:
        AXIS 570/570e/670/670e/5470e
        AXIS StorPoint CD with firmware older than 5.0
        AXIS Camera servers
        AXIS 9010

     3. When you start ThinWizard's Firmware Wizard, some versions of
        Internet Explorer may give this behavior: You may be prompted for a
        new login, or you may get information about that your browser doesn't
        accept cookies. If this is the case, open Internet Options in the
        Tools menu and select the Advanced tab. Make sure that 
        "Browse in new process" is not checked.

     4. To ensure proper functionality, your browser should be configured
        to never read web pages from the browser's cache (Netscape) or 
        never to store temporary internet files (Internet Explorer). 

     5. This version of ThinWizard is not compatible with old versions of the
        Data File used by ThinWizard to get up-to-date information about
        available firmware files. 

     6. When running ThinWizard on Windows 95 you may get an error message
        saying that the IP Setting module could not be started. The reason
        could be that system DLLs regarding Windows Socket 2 has to be updated.
        The Windows Socket 2 Update for Microsoft Windows 95 can be downloaded
        from the Microsoft Web site.
        For more information about this, go to the Microsoft Web site: 
        http://www.microsoft.com/Windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/
        S_WUNetworkingTools/W95Sockets2/Default.asp 

     7. If you are using the Microsoft NetWare Client and Windows 98, you
        may experience a system crash when browsing for a destination folder
        during installation. This problem is due to a bug in Windows.
        For more information go to:
        http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q192/2/49.asp
        Solution: Accept the suggested folder, or manually write the
        destination folder of your choice.

     8. If you are using JavaSoft's HotSpot Performance Engine 1.0_fcs or
        earlier, you may experience problems with the network search part of
        ThinWizard. ThinWizard might not be able to find all your units.
        To disable HotSpot, edit the command file ThinWizard.bat, located in
        your ThinWizard installation directory. Add -classic after the java
        command.
