Q. While installation
LEAP Office 2000, a message showing 'Invalid Serial Number
Detected' is flashed.
A. This happens
usually because of an invalid entry of serial number.
Usually, the confusion between the character ‘O’ and
digit ‘0’ is the cause. Care should be taken to see
that the serial number should be entered in all caps
with no spaces in between.
Q.
After installation, 'Indian Language fonts' are already
in use by other application of Windows. You will have
to close those applications and restart Windows. OR
'LEAP Office already installed. Kindly remove the existing
version and then install' appears on the screen.
A. If you observe
such a message, restart WINDOWS as prompted and try
installation once more. If there is any other Indian
Language software, which is in the program startup group,
then you will have to remove it from the startup group
and then install.
Sometimes, it
is observed that the same message appears due to a conflict
with some other vendors' TT Fonts and even C-DAC TT
Fonts (if already existing in the machine). These TT
Fonts must be removed. Restart and install again.
Q.
After successful installation, all the Languages are
not available in the menu upon right click.
A. This usually
happens because there are a large number of fonts installed
on your machine. The Windows registry allows only 64-KB
file for registration of fonts. In this case, remove
the existing version of LEAP Office and try installing
with 'Typical option'. This will install the minimum
fonts on your machine.
