When running XCounter on a NT 4.0 platform, and the client workstation are utilizing
Windows 95/98/Me, a separate logon account is required. This means that either the
user login account or a station login account is required. For example, workstations
can logon as STATION1, STATION2, etc. If everyone is logged on as GUEST, the
XPopup program will not work reliably. This is a Windows NT 4.0 limitation that has
been resolved in Windows 2000. The Windows 2000 server can detect the
workstation name, alleviating the requirement for separate login accounts for XPopup
to operate.

XPopup Local Settings
When the XPopup Preferences menu is selected, a list of servers to which printer
connections have been made will be displayed. XPopup will poll each of these
servers for popup jobs once per specified interval (in seconds). Each poll consists of
only one RPC request. However, any servers that are not running XCounter or are
hosting print queues where an XPopup window is not required can be unselected, in
order to reduce network traffic.
