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.
