Synovative's Office Utility Pak (8.0)

There are seven utilities in this release:  "Backup and Shutdown", "Connectivity Checker", "System Information", "Set Default Printer", "StartUp Assistant" and the "SOUP Web Updater."

Support is provided Windows XP only.

The StartUp Assistant will perform several tasks for you at startup time:

bullet

it will force a refresh of DHCP addresses for TCP/IP.  This is useful if your PC moves among more than one network or if there are frequent Network problems

bullet

it will extract the time and date from the operating system each month and ask you to verify that it is correct.

bullet

it will run the a windows cleanup manager and remove extra files as you startup.  It will also assure that the Windows TEMP directory is empty

bullet

it will lead you through the proper set of utilities that should be run once a week to keep your PC tuned.  This allows you to turn off the "automatic" updates for these products, returning power and speed to your PC.

Backup and Shutdown is the most complex of the utilities.  It is designed to save critical data and then shut down the workstation.  It will always save the files that are your operating systems registry, all .INI files in the WINDOWS directory, all of your FAVORITES as well as all files and folders in MY DOCUMENTS.  The Backup and Shutdown Catalog will display a list of valid backups that may be used for recovery.  Backup and Shutdown works best with a PC configuration that has 2 hard drives.  The backup is then placed on the second drive.  Backup and Shutdown will also work with a PC with a CD or DVD burner and Roxio Drag-toDisk software.  The size of backup to CD or DVD is limited to one platter.  Backup and Shutdown will mark and rotate 3 platters for backup.

Connectivity Checker will test your TCP/IP connection.  For those with broadband connections who want to check their connection the connectivity checker will let you know if you are connected to your Internet Service Provider.

Set Default Printer will select from multiple printers and set the page orientation to Portrait or Landscape as your default choice.

System Information will report basic information about your PC that may be needed by Synovative Technology technical support when problems occur.

SOUP Web Updater will check for updates to SOUP.  If updates are found, it will download and install them.
