	Micro Bridge 12: Update Module
	Update This is an updated module of Micro Bridge 12. Download the following zip file and read the enclosed README.TXT. An update to Micro Bridge 12.02 (2/1/13, mbup1202.zip, 1,184KB) MODIFICATION: The following bug is fixed. (12.01) On 64-bit Windows, "The Identification Number of the Installed Software" is "Not Available". Support 2004 or later JCBL hand data. (12.02) Technical Information Micro Bridge 12 supports Windows 7 and 8. LAN play of Micro Bridge (10, 11, and 12) is slow when Windows 7 or 8 is running on both PCs. Display of bids and plays on client PC is delayed about 6 seconds after server PC bids and plays. The cause of this symptom is a flaw of Microsoft SMB2 protocol. Microsoft provides an unofficial patch module for this problem, but a safe and easy way to solve this problem is to: Add registry keys: FileInfoCacheLifetime=0 (DWORD type) FileNotFoundCacheLifetime=0 (DWORD type) DirectoryCacheLifetime=0 (DWORD type) under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters. If you are not familiar with editing registry using REGEDIT.EXE, download and run the following program. smbfix.exe (1/27/13, 418KB) This change disables a part of SMB2 local cache. The side effect is to increase the network traffic, but it is not a problem for home users. You need to do this change only to client PCs, but I recommend you to do it to all Windows 7/8 PCs on which you run Micro Bridge.

(9.03) Technical Information 1) Norton AntiVirus may cause the following error when installing Micro Bridge. It may be a bug of Norton that also affects some other applications. "Exception EResNotFound in module setup.exe at xxxx:xxxx. Resource Tformstup not found" If you receive the above error, please turn off Norton AntiVirus and install Micro Bridge. 2) The Key Code mechanism to run Micro Bridge without its CD does not work on Windows NT and 2000. (Version 9.00 and 9.01) 3) Windows XP seems to change its memory management system, and I guess this causes "General protection fault" against 9.02 or earlier version. The update module 9.03 usually works well on Windows XP. However, there are still some uncertainties because the cause of the error is not clear.
