Q- I've encountered an installation error on the file URLMON.DLL. What should I do?
A- You are connected to the Internet while performing the install. Press 'Ignore' and the installation should complete normally. If not, uninstall the program through Control Panel then reboot and install again, this time remembering to disconnect from the Internet before starting the install and to reconnect only after the installation is complete.

Q- I've encountered a "Processing..." or "Download In Progress" message that has been displaying for 10 minutes or more. I think the program has stalled. What should I do?
A- Exit the program. Copy all data files that you want to keep, such as .pln files, to a safe place. Uninstall CompensationMaster, reboot and reinstall a fresh copy of CompensationMaster.

Q- I cannot find the installation file I downloaded from the CompensationMaster web site. Where is it?
A- When saving the downloaded webcomplete6.6.exe file, by default it is saved to c:\temp. To run the install, exit the zip program. Then in Internet Explorer go to c:\temp and double click on the setup.exe file.

Q- My server or PC is blocking EXE and or ZIP files. How can I get around this?
A- Have your tech support person put an approval in the Internet Explorer rules to recognize CompensationMaster as a trusted web site.

Q- How do I get a data (scenario) file loaded into CompensationMaster?
A- Think of a scenario file like you would a Microsoft Word document, with one exception: the file extension is .pln rather than .doc. If the file was e-mailed to you, open the e-mail and save the attached .pln file to your CompensationMaster folder. If you accepted the default settings at installation time it should be C:\Program Files\CM6.6.

Q- Access Code 4OI8AB does not work; I am typing the number 0 and a lower case "L".
A- Access Codes do NOT contain any lower case letters or the numbers "0" or "1". If you see an "O", type the letter "O" rather than the number "0". If you see an "I", type the letter "I" rather than the number "1" or a lower case "L". If an "L" is required it will be displayed as "L" in your welcome letter.

Q- How do I keep files I created in this or another version of CompensationMaster and reload them into my current version?
A- Copy your existing .pln files to a safe place, either to another folder on your hard disk, network or to a removable disk. Then copy these files into your new copy of CompensationMaster. The next time you run CompensationMaster these files will show up in the file list.

Q- My reports won't print; what should I do?
A- 1) Check your default print in Control Panel, and confirm that it is set properly.  Confirm that you can print from other software packages, such as Microsoft Word. 2) In CompensationMaster click on the 'Report' tab.  Halfway down on the right side of the screen is an 'Output to' box.  Make sure the word 'PRINTER' is in that box, then close the screen.  Reopen it to confirm the change.  3) In the top toolbar click 'Configuration'.  Select 'Report Destination' and confirm that the word 'Printer' is in the 'Type printer or enter a filename' box, then exit the program.
