 With Windows 3.11, you just need to edit the file  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI (with NOTEPAD editor for instance) and
  add the following line in the [386Enh] section:
          DEVICE=VSHARE.386
 
 With Windows 95, this line becomes DEVICE=VSHARE.VXD

  Same cause as in Question 4. Same remedy.

1)  Exit Windows and rerun it. This will remove all the temporary files, close other applications...

2) If the problem still exists, this means the file is corrupted and need to be downloaded again.
    See here for Windows 95 or there for Windows 3.11. You'll find all the downloading possibilities.

3) If you have got the KingKosA.zip file, don't use old DOS Unzip utilities for decompressing. Use Winzip or Netzip
    instead.

4) If you have got the KingKosA.zip file, please decompress in a temporary directory, not in the final installation directory.

    Remark: If you have got the KingKosA.zip file, this means you do not have the latest version of our software..
                    Two solutions:
                               A. You download the complete new version (4 MB).
                                    Advantage: you'll get a self-extractable file which allows a fully automatic installation and does not
                                                      ask for an Unizip utility.
                               B. You continue your installation and download an update (1MB)

5) If you have downloaded KinKosA.exe file, read herebelow is a message from InstallShield Corporation, concerning this
   problem:  "The most common reason is that the target system's TEMP variable is set to a directory which:

• either is inaccessible (or unexistant)
• contains insufficient space for the setup files to be copied and decompressed.

   Please check that your machine's TEMP directory:

• exists (otherwise:   create the C:\TMP directory
• 
                               put the line SET TEMP=C:\TMP in AUTOEXEC.BAT file.)
• is not read-only
• is not located on a unavailable drive.

   If this repertory contains too many files, try moving or deleting a number of them, and then rerun the installation.
   If they cannot be removed, you have to exit Windows and rerun it.

   Also close all other running applications including the applications running in the background,  like screen savers and
   anti-virus programs."

                   In the list displayed, select Parameters
                   In the window displayed, choose the icon Configuration Pannel.
                   In the window displayed, choose the icon Display.
                   In the screen displayed,   select the rightmost tab ("onglet"), called Configuration.
 
                   ==> In the new screen, look in the middle, on the right. What is written?
                            If it is 640x480, you have to choose 800x600 pixels, by pressing the bar.

Remark:     You can move a window which is too big: clik on its header, maintain the left mouse button pressed
                  and move your hand on the left: the hidden part will appear.

It is due to the location where is the Microsoft program "Worpad.exe":
         1) Locate it with the search function of the Explorator Utility.
         2) Edit (with notpad) the file C:\KOS\THM.INI and check the path of Wordpad, in the section [TEXTEPRO]:
                                => Check this line:   WORDPAD=C:\Progra~1\Access~1\Wordpad.exe
                                      Warning: respect the DOS syntax for this path: no name longer than 8 characters.
                                                     For instance, Access Files becomes Access~1
