After trial, I want to change my OS and disk partition. Is there any problems with it?
If you format your HDD, you need to reinstall the software. Then a hard key is changed. When you send us your hard key, you need to send the hard key which is created (displayed) after re-installation.

I want to download the MMLIB to one machine and then to install it in two or more machines. When I did, the program did not operate normally. My OS is Windows 98 for both machines. Could you give me some advice?
You should not install the MMLIB from a download site directly. Please once save the downloaded file on your disk.
Please copy this file (self-extracting file) to a machine in which you want to install the MMLIB through a floppy disk or LAN. It is required to perform the installation in that machine.

Even if you copy only the installed program EXE (MMLibE.exe), it does not operate in the other machine.

Moreover, on the machine with Windows 98 before, a new installer MMLibE.exe may be unable to be installed, or may be unable to operate well.

In this case, please download the MMLibE.exe which you can find at "Installer for Windows95/98/NT4/2000".

Since this is an installer for OS before Windows 98, it operates normally. (Software is the same as MMLibE.exe.)

I plan to format a hard disk and re-install MMLIB. To use an old library in a new environment, how can I back up the library? 
Select "Options" from the "File" menu. Current library folder is displayed (as default, C:\MMLIB\LIBRARY). Copy this folder to the back up disk and format the hard disk. After re-installing MMLIB, paste the folder to the same place.

I plan formatting of a hard disk frequently. So I want to have a installer CD-ROM. Should I purchase it again?
After formatting a hard disk, MMLIB has to be installed again. If you want to purchase the installer CD, it costs 600 yen. Also, you can save the installer in a CD-ROM by yourself. In a later case, download the installer and copy it in a CD-ROM.

If I uninstall the program or reinstall OS or format hard disk, then, is the hard key changed?
A "hard key" is the number created by program when you install the program. Entering a "registration number" as a protection release key corresponding to the hard key enables you to use the program after a trial period.
Unless you reformat hard disk, the registration (hard key and registration number corresponding to this) remains valid even though the program is uninstalled or OS is reinstalled.
But, if you reformat hard disk or change your PC, the registration will become invalid. In that case, new registration will be required when you reinstall the program because new hard key will be created.

How can I find the hard key?
See the following page.

Please tell me system requirements of MMLIB.
System requirements of MMLIB is as follows.
CPU Pentium II 266MHz
RAM 128MB
HDD 10MB
OS Windows98/WindowsME/WindowsNT4.0/Windows2000/WindowsXP
Monitor 1024x768 High Color
Scanner TWAIN

Fundamentally, if the conditions of OS and scanner are fulfilled, MMLIB will operate satisfactory in most PC. First, try MMLIB in your environment and be sure to check an operation. If you can check that MMLIB operates normally in your PC, it is OK even if it does not fulfill the above-mentioned requirements.

When the new data is registered, data name is "Untitled" as default. Is it necessary to change the data name? 
No, it is not necessary to change the data name. MMLIB is designed so that any data is imported first and information is changed if needed. So, it is OK even if two or more data "Untitled" exist under the same folder. Same folder name and library name can also be accepted. However, it is recommended to change the folder name and the library name later not to cause confusion. 
[Up]

How can I change name, comments, or keyword of data? 
Information of data can be changed as follows. 1) Right click the data and select "Change information".  2) Select "Change information" from the File menu. 3) Select the data in the tree view (left column), then information is displayed in the list view (right column). If any information is changed, don't forget to click the the "Update" button.

When I closed a library, that library disappeared from the window. Was it deleted? 
Don't worry. The library was just closed. To display the library again, select the "Open" from the File menu. If the password has been set to the library, enter the password.  
[Up]

I want to import some window image. How can I do it?
See this page for how to use the window copy function. 
[Up]

I want to import several picture files at once. How can I do it?
Procedure is described in a operation guide of MMLIB program manual. See the "Repeat scan". 
[Up]

When I send a data in a library by e-mail, only a picture is attached. How can I send both of a picture and a text? 
To send both of a picture and a text, put the data into a data folder, right click the folder, and select the "Send Mail". In this case, an attached file becomes .mml format. To open a .mml file, free viewer program MLIBV is available. 
[Up]

I received a .mml file. How can I open this file?
A .mml file can be open by MMLIB or MLIBV (freeware). If you have MMLIB, select "Import" from the "File" menu. A .mml file can be imported and registered as a library. If you use MLIBV, select "Open" from the "File" menu. Pictures in a .mml file can be seen.

I restored a library that was backed up before, but it does not appear in the MMLIB window. How can I access the restored library?  
After restoring a library, select "Open" from the "File" menu. Restored library appears in a "Open Library" dialog. If the password has been set to the library, enter the password to open the library. 
[Up]

When I restored a backed up library and tried to add data, error message "Processing cannot be executed because of access restrictions." was displayed. What can I do? 
It is because the access restriction has been set to the backed up library. Select the "Access Restrictions" from the "File" menu to see the access restriction and change the status. 
[Up]

I want to restore a library backed up before. But is it overwritten if there is already a library with same name? 
No it is not overwritten. Two libraries with a same name are created. But it is recommended to change the library name to avoid confusion. 
[Up]

Please tell me how to back up a folder.
Data within a data folder can be backed up. The simplest way to back up a data folder is to select a folder and drug and drop it to desktop. Another way is to select "Export" from the "File" menu. 
[Up]

When the "Search Folder" is executed from the Edit menu, found data is put in the Search Folder. Is it possible to change information or delete these data?
Yes, it is possible. However, note that if you change information or delete the data in a Search Folder, these changes are executed to the original data. (This is similar to the search function of Windows.)
[Up]

When the "Keyword Search" is executed from the Edit menu, search result is displayed. How can I use this window? 
When you click the data shown in a search results window, that data is selected automatically in the main window of MMLIB. This is a very convenient function to search over several libraries at once. 
[Up]

What is the search condition of the "Keyword Search"?
Partial match. A capital letter and a small letter are distinguished. Both of data and folder are searched. 
[Up]

"Keyword Search" in a library does not find any data. What is a problem?
Keyword search is performed based on the current "Keyword index". If you think the search result is strange, try "Make Keyword Index" on the Keyword search window and search again.
