*************************************************************************
Overview
*************************************************************************

The tool was designed to help MARX(R) customers simplify troubleshooting of 
MARX hardware. The tool performs extensive diagnostics of the operating 
system, analyzes which MARX DLLs and device drivers are installed and 
running for each model of MARX hardware, tests found MARX hardware and 
automatically downloads missing files via the Internet and installs them 
on the local machine.

*************************************************************************
Key Features
*************************************************************************

The following features are implemented in the current version of MarxProbe:

+ Analysis of installed MARX APIs, DLLs and device drivers. 
  In Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT if a device driver is installed but has 
  not started, the application attempts to start it immediately without 
  the need to reboot the PC!

+ Detection of MARX hardware

+ Complete testing of found MARX hardware (optional, requires proper MRX file)

+ Detection of port addressing in Windows Vista/XP/2000/Me/98SE

+ Download via Internet and installation of missing components. In Windows  
  Vista/XP/2000 there is no need to reboot the PC after device drivers are 
  installed! If the user does not have Administrative rights an error message 
  will be displayed

+ LiveUpdate via Internet for MarxProbe itself

+ Troubleshooting information. When a problem is detected, an explanation 
  is provided of what should be done
