This is a known problem with the HP printer software, not the Mitchell 1 program. To correct this problem, you must download the current printer driver from the driver downloads, updates, and software packages page on the Hewlett Packard website.

I am an On-Demand version 4.x/DVD user with a Windows95 operating system. When I open On-Demand, I am either getting a blank screen or the message "image library errors when pulling up diagrams."

This error is generated if an older version of CDFS.VXD from Windows 95 is in the c:\windows\system\iosubsys directory. Check the date of the file CDFS.VXD in the \windows\system\iosubsys directory. If the file date is 7/11/95, overwrite it with the updated file (dated 8/24/96) found on the On-Demand 4 installation CD in the directory \drivers\mcrsft. Finally, reboot the system. After the system reboots, On-Demand should operate normally.

This problem is created when there is a conflict with the version of MFC42.DLL that is installed on a customer's computer.

1. Insert the On-Line Installation CD in to the computer. After it launches cancel the installation.
2. Double click on 'My Computer' and right click on the CD-ROM drive that list the On-line Installation CD(ODSCD01-1).
3. A box should appear then click on 'Explore'. After clicking 'Explore' you should see a list of folders and files.
4. Double click on the yellow folder marked 'Util' then double click on the yellow folder marked 'SYS'.
5. Click on 'MFC42.DLL' it should become highlighted. After the file is highlighted click edit at the top of the screen and then choose 'Copy'. After choosing 'Copy' close all open windows.
6. Click on 'My Computer' then click on 'C:\'.Find the folder called 'Mitchell'. Double click on the 'Mitchell' folder then double click on the 'Repair' folder. Double click on the 'ODWIN32' folder.

• This error is common with the multiple computer programs available in the market place. Unfortunately a lot of software manufacturers use MFC42.DLL along with many other shared library files. The instructions above are primarily for the latest version of On-Demand 4.4 but, should resolve a printing problem with an earlier version of software.
