How do I tell if I have the right version of Windows 95 for Accelerate-It's FAT32DC component?
Click the Start button and select Settings, Control Panel. After the Control Panel Window appears, locate and double-click on the System icon. This will open the System Properties dialog. Make sure the General page (tab) is selected. In the upper right corner of the General page, you should see the Windows 95 version number appearing directly underneath the Windows 95 name. The version number should read either "4.00.950B" or "4.00.950C". If the version number you see does not end with letters "B" or "C", or if it ends with the letter "A", your version of Windows 95 does not have FAT32 support. An upgrade to Windows 98 will be needed to obtain the necessary FAT32 support.

Does Accelerate-It's QuickStart component replace Windows 98's Launch Accelerator?
Not completely. QuickStart still generates Windows 98 compatible application log files that are used by the defragmenter to optimize applications on your disk. However, QuickStart does not require these log files to be processed by the defragmenter before providing its acceleration benefit. Also, QuickStart's log files instruct the defragmenter to lay out the application files on the disk in a different manner than Windows 98 to enhance performance with shared program components like DLLs.
