(b) On Windows
R
95, communication using the COM port, e.g. computer link
communication or CPU COM communication, will cause a memory leak.
Therefore, do not perform continuous operation.
(3) Precautions for the use of Microsoft
R
Windows
R
Millennium Edition Operating
System
It is not recommended to use MX Component with the "system restoring function"
made invalid by the operating system.
If the free space of the system drive becomes less than 200MB, the "system
restoring function" is made invalid by the operating system. When using
Windows
R
Me, reserve a 200MB or more free space for the system drive.

Instructions for installation and uninstallation
(1) About installation
(a) When performing overwrite installation, install the software in the folder where
it had already been installed.
(b) If you install the MELSEC board driver or GX Developer into the personal
computer where MX Component has already been installed, communication
using a specific path (e.g. ASCII packet of the AJ71E71) may result in a
receive, device number or other error.
If any of these phenomena has occurred, perform overwrite installation of MX
Component again.
(2) Precautions for performing installation and uninstallation on a dual boot machine
where two different operating systems are installed in a single IBM-PC/AT
compatible personal computer
On a dual boot machine having Windows NT
R
Workstation 4.0 (hereafter referred
to as OS1) and Windows
R
95 or Windows
R
98 (hereafter referred to as OS2), note
the following points when MX Component was installed on OS1 first and MX
Component was then installed over the same folder on OS2.
(a) If MX Component is uninstalled first on the OS2 side, uninstallation does not
delete the control DLLs and ACT folders, and they remain within the IBM-
PC/AT compatible.
To delete the control DLLs and ACT folders, perform uninstallation also on
the OS1 side.
