One of the toolbars at the top of the main BioWin window is missing. This is due to the fact that you do not have a recent version of a Windows common control file. If you contact us we can email you a Microsoft update file, or you can visit the Microsoft web site and investigate the Windows Update sections. |

I cannot print the contents of a single-pane album page. Currently you cannot print the contents of a single-pane album page using the Album|Print page menu command after the file you are working on has been saved. To print your album page, right-click on the chart or table and select Print from the popup menu (for charts the Print command is in the Display sub-menu). This issue has been resolved in BioWin v 1.1.0. |

This problem occurs if you change certain Windows System settings such as your screen display resolution or the default system printer while BioWin is running in the background. To avoid this problem we suggest that you exit BioWin before making these types of system changes. This issue has been resolved in BioWin v 1.1.0. |

After one SRT inversion, the SRT calculator will not progress any further. This problem is known to occur on slower machines (e.g. <150 MHz) running Windows 95. You may have difficulty exiting BioWin. This has been fixed in the later versions of BioWin. Please contact us if you experience this problem. |

How can I access a network hardlock if WinXP firewall is active? Beginning with Service Pack 2 (SP2) Windows XP comes with an integrated firewall. Operation of (network) hardlocks requires opening of the relevant communication ports in the firewall. Ports must be opened on server side (where the network hardlock is attached) as well as on client side (searching for the hardlock):
1. Click Start - Control Panel |

We are addressing this problem which has been reported by users. Note that this only is a display problem - the correct units and numbers are being used in all calculations. To verify that this is a display problem, try using the Project|Options command to change the unit system being used and see how the decant rate figure changes according to the different unit system choices. This issue has been resolved in BioWin v 1.1.2. |

We are addressing this problem. This may not occur for all charts that are exported / imported in this format. As an interim workaround, export / import charts in one of the other graphics formats. If you would like to plot additional data on an imported chart, use the Album|Save pages command to save your charts, and then use the Album|Open pages command to bring them into another project. This issue has been resolved in BioWin v 1.1.2. |
