        PWA is always looking for suppliers.  If you can supply utilities,
        come talk to us.  Couriers and Sysops NEED NOT BOTHER.  Also, we
        do NOT give out FTP sites or DCC files, so DON'T ASK or you will
        be banned from the channel.

   Please note that PWA is NOT accepting pay sites of any nature.... We're
   in this for fun and entertainment, not to try to make ourselves rich. :)


────────────────────────────────┤ Final Note ├─────────────────────────────────
 ║ Support the software companies! If you enjoy using a program or using a   ║
 ║ Util, consider buying it! Someone's got to make it worth the programmer's ║
 ║ effort to keep up the high standards... They made it, so they DESERVE it! ║

Changes[edit | edit source]

  • The label on the boot screen now reads June Test Release instead of May Test Release.
  • The font on the safe to shutdown screen has been changed to its final version, which is used in all subsequent Windows 9x builds.
  • The setup billboards now match with those seen in the final version.

Bugs[edit | edit source]

Checked/Debug version[edit | edit source]

The checked/debug version of this build has a small bug, in which the second part of the installation freezes at the moment the "Main" folder is created. In order to fix this bug, you need to:

  1. Install the build as usual.
  2. Switch to safe mode.
  3. Open Registry Editor.
  4. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce.
  5. Change the string value of Wallpaper to None (if you don't have Wallpaper parameter, you can create it).
  6. Delete all parameters in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce except (Default) and Wallpaper.
  7. Reboot.

On some configurations, this build will also freeze during shutdown, either on the desktop or the shutdown screen. If this happens, consider powering off manually.
