When your PC is upgraded...

All BizInt Smart Charts products are 32-bit and fully compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. If your PC is being upgraded to Windows 2000/XP, here's what we suggest you do to make the reinstallation of BizInt Smart Charts easier.

Before the upgrade, you should save the files that configure your copy of BizInt Smart Charts, either to a floppy or to a network location that will not be "upgraded".

1. The application INI file is in the c:\windows or c:\winnt directory, and should be saved.
   BizInt Smart Charts for Pharmaceuticals = smrtchrt.ini
   BizInt Smart Charts for Patents = scpatent.ini
2. Chart templates are stored in c:\bizint\template. You should save any templates that you created, which have extensions that end with .CTT (there will be some templates with the same extension that are shipped with the product, but you can save those too).
3. If you are using BizInt Smart Charts for Pharmaceuticals to search DataStar, you may have a communications script to save. This would be in c:\bizint\scripts, and will have a .CSL extension. Again, you can save all of them if you want - they are small.

After the upgrade, download and install the latest software from our website. Then, restore the files that were saved (to floppy or network drive).

1. Copy the saved .CSL files to c:\bizint\scripts (if applicable). You can replace any scripts with the same name.
2. Copy the saved .CTT files to c:\bizint\template.
3. Copy the saved .INI file to the Windows directory. This may not be the same directory that you found the file in before. If the new computer is running Windows 2000 or Windows NT, the directory will be c:\winnt. If the new computer runs Windows 95/98 the directory will be c:\windows. If you're not sure, you can search for the file SMRTCHRT.INI (SCPATENT.INI for Patents) on the c: drive and replace that file with the saved file. Now you're done - everything should be configured as it was before your upgrade!
