IF YOU HAVE AN EARLIER VERSION OF PSA CARDS, READ THIS: When you install PSA Cards for Windows 3.1 on a computer running Windows 95, or when you install Windows 95 over Windows 3.1 with PSA Cards already installed, there will be a "PSA Cards" program folder on the Windows 95 Start menu. If you have a previously installed a 32 bit version of PSA Cards, there will be a program icon on your Start menu called "PSA Cards Win 32" When you install this release of PSA Cards a new program icon named "PSA Cards Win 95-NT" will appear on the Start menu. The icon name was changed because it was felt that the old name could be confusing. Since the installation routine does not check for the presence of the old PSA Cards program folder or program icon, you will need to remove it from the Start menu manually. To do this, right click on the Start menu, open the Programs folder, find the old PSA Cards program folder or program icon and, and drag it to the Recycle Bin.
