I Have Windows 98 and I can't get my Retail Power Sales screen to launch properly from the Retail Power Menu.

For Windows 98 users, if you have the Retail Power Sales screen, the "Retail POS Pointer" will not work properly, unless you create a batch file on your windows desktop, here's how:

1. Right click on your Retail Power POS icon, select "Properties" , select the "program" tab and make note of the Command Line. (ie. c:\retail~1\qs1.bat) .  The command line has 3 segments:  (These may differ from this example for your installation.)
   1.  "C:\" is the "drive location"
   2. "retail~1" is the "folder"
   3.  "\qs1.bat" is the "program name".
2. Go to "Start", "Run", type "Command" and click OK. On the Black Screen type EDIT GOQS.BAT and hit <enter>. On the Blue screen type "cd\folder" (replace with your folder from above), hit <enter> on the second line type " call program name" (replace program name with your program name from above), hit <enter> on the third line type "exit". The contents should look like this:

   cd\retail~1
   call qs1.bat
   exit
    

3. Hit <alt-F>, then select "save", then hit <alt-X>. At the black screen type exit.
4. Now, start the New, Retail Power beta, Go to "System Setup", "Setup", "Retail POS Pointer" and browse to your desktop, where it says "filename" type "*.bat" hit <Enter> select the "GOQS" file and click "open", then click "Update".
