[QUESTION]

I'm running both the PC Server and PC AirWatch software on the same computer under a Windows NT operating system. Is there any special setup or requirements to do this?

[ANSWER] When using this setup on a Windows NT operating system, we recommend that each application be setup to "Run in a separate memory space". This is accomplished through the following steps:

Note: The following sections are steps to create a shortcut icon of the "airwatch.exe and/ "gwxserv.exe". However, if there are icons labelled:

a) "AWS Online Weather Server" or "Shortcut to gwxserve.exe"
b) "Airwatch" or "Shortcut to airwatch.exe"

already on your desktop (one of "a" and one of "b") then skip to Step 3. If either (or both) icons are missing, you will need to create the shortcuts as shown below.

1. Create a shortcut for both the AirWatch and the Server software. This can be done through the Windows NT File Explorer program by finding the executable files.

a) Go to the "Start" menu.
b) "Programs"
c) Find the Windows NT Explorer file.
d) Select either "airwatch.exe" or "gwxserv.exe".

2. Right click on the executable file and select the "Create Shortcut" menu item. This will create a file called "Shortcut to gwxserv.exe", or "Shortcut to Airwatch.exe" depending on which executable you have chosen.

3. Right Click on the Shortcut file (or icon) that has been created and select the "Properties" menu item. A "Properties" dialog will be displayed.

4. Click on the tab labeled "Shortcut" and make sure there is a check mark in the space labeled "Run in separate memory space"

Now, each time you want to start "Airwatch" or the "AWS Weather Server" programs, double-click on the shortcut icon. This will ensure that the program is running in its own memory space and there will be no conflicts between them.
