Questions and Answers

Does PopChar Win run on Windows Vista?

My virus scanner reports a virus/trojan in PopChar Win. How to proceed?

Before we release a product, we test it with various anti virus tools from different manufacturers. Our products are furthermore being tested by various 3rd party institutions (see the certificates on our statements page).

To our best knowledge, our distribution builds should not infected with any virus or trojan. If you encounter an error message in this regard, it might be a "false positive", i.e., a mistake of the virus scanner. Please let us know in this case, such that we can contact the manufacturer of the anti virus tool to look at it and fix it.

I know that there is a key combination for a specific character. Why doesn't PopChar show it?

In the current version, PopChar cannot display key combinations for certain characters. This will be improved in future versions.

In the Preferences dialog, the checkbox "Launch at Startup" is disabled. How can I configure PopChar's automatic launching at startup?

For Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me, "Launch at Startup" is not supported. You can manually turn automatic startup on by simply creating a link to PopChar.exe in your startup folder. You can turn it off again by deleting the existing link to PopChar.exe from your startup folder.
