Minimum System Requirements ------------------------------ DESlock+ requires a minimum specification of machine in order to run effectively. The system should comply with or exceed the specifications listed below: - Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home Edition - Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista, 32bit (x86) versions only - Other versions of Windows are not supported. - 64MB of hard-disk space - CD Rom Drive - VGA (640 X 480) or higher resolution monitor with 256 colours or more - Pointing Device and Keyboard - Type A USB Port (conforming to USB 1.1 or later) - Internet Explorer 5 or later - Windows XP requires Service Pack 2, this is available from Microsoft. - Windows 2000 requires Service Pack 4 and the Update Rollup 1, both available from Microsoft. For Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional: - Pentium 300MHz - 128MB of RAM NB: DESlock+ will not run on Windows 95 or Windows NT4 or earlier. DESlock+ is no longer available for Windows 98 or Windows Me. NB: DESlock+ does NOT work on 64bit versions of Windows XP Professional, Vista or Server 2003 or later. Important note: Installing DESlock+ on a machine which has Terminal Services installed, MUST be installed from the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. Failure to do this will result in DESlock+ not working. 2. New Features, Enhancements and Important information ------------------------------------------------------- - DESlock+ now includes support for Full Disk Encryption and Removable Media Encryption. Use of these features requires a valid, feature enabled DESlock+ licence and is not available in either Trial, old Personal, Home/Home Office and existing Business licences without upgrading. - Deleting encrypted folders requires that the encryption key used to protect the folder is available. If the key is unavailable, the deletion will fail. - DESlock+ can not be used to encrypted folders which use NTFS native compression or encryption. Attempting to encrypt a compressed/encrypted folder or activating compression/encryption on a DESlock+ encrypted folder will fail. - DESlock+ no longer supports encryption of shared folders across networks. - After upgrading DESlock+ from versions prior to 2.10, you will be informed that a file needed is missing and would you like to rebuild it. It is vital to the functioning of DESlock+ that you choose Yes to this. Failure to rebuild this file will restrict access to your encrypted data. - Under Windows Vista the install will automatically install the DESlock+ Sidebar Gadget. This can be added to your Sidebar by using Add Gadget. The Gadget is a system wide Gadget and available to all users. - Users of Outlook 2007 have a graphically enhanced plugin available via a Ribbon Bar. This is automatically installed and will disable the existing Outlook addin if present. - As of DESlock+ Version 3.2.7, Free Personal Licences are no longer available, this does not affect existing personal licences in any way and they will continue to function as before. 3. Current Version Limitations ------------------------------ - Mounting virtual disks under Windows 2000 may sometimes cause the disk to appear in explorer with a different drive letter to that shown in DESlock+. This happens when a removable drive has been assigned a drive letter using the Windows disk management tool and the drive not being plugged in. * This does not affect the use of the virtual disk, except for formatting via the DESlock+ Mount Manager. - Under Windows Vista it is possible to open the root encrypted folder even when DESlock+ is deactivated. However, the files contained within it are not accessible. If the visibility of file names is significant, we recommend you use a Mountable File to encrypt your data. 4. Known Problems ----------------- * Due to a known bug in VirusScan Enterprise 7.0, the install will not run if it is detected on your machine. If you use VSE 7.0, you will need to either remove version 7.0 or upgrade to version 7.1 or later before installing DESlock+. * Under Windows XP, you might encounter an application error in ikernel.exe at the end of the install. The following article contains more information http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=q108020 * The Outlook plugin does not display any menu or button items when Microsoft Word is used as your e-mail editor under Outlook XP and Outlook 2003. DESlock+ requires that Word is not selected as your email editor. To do this, from the Outlook Tools menu, select Options and on the Mail Format tab, uncheck the "Use Word when editing e-mail messages" check box. * Outlook 2000 requires that Office 2000 SR-1/1a is installed This is available from the Microsoft Website http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;245025 Outlook 98 requires the Outlook 98 Security Update This is available from the Microsoft Website http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q262/6/17.asp * There is a known problem under Outlook 2003 when using the Send to OneNote from Outlook powertoy. This is under investigation, to avoid messages being saved in a decrypted state please disable the OneNote COM addin. 5.
