SYMPTOMS
========

If you exit Microsoft Windows while Bitstream FaceLift version 2.0 is running,
your system may stop responding (hang).

CAUSE
=====

Bitstream FaceLift 2.0 uses a cache to store characters it creates. Depending on
the option you specify, FaceLift may be saving this cache to a file on your hard
disk. FaceLift sends a message to inform you that it is writing characters to
the cache. It is this message that conflicts with Windows when you exit to the
MS-DOS command prompt.

WORKAROUND
==========

Use the following steps to disable the message that conflicts with Windows when
you exit:

1. Load the FACELIFT.INI file in a text editor (for example, Microsoft Windows
  Notepad).

  NOTE: FACELIFT.INI is in the WINDOWS directory.

2. Under the [Settings] section, change "NoDumpMsg=0" to "NoDumpMsg=1" (without
  the quotation marks).

  NOTE: This line is not case sensitive.

3. Exit and restart Windows so that the changes can take affect.
