After you install and configure the Prolifics client, you should verify that it starts up properly. If Prolifics software is not installed and configured correctly, an error message is displayed. Depending on the problem, the program might also terminate. Refer to page 77 for a list of the more common error messages related to system configuration, and how to resolve them.
