Click the Performance Tuning folder and on the right double click the Use Cache Engine setting and change it from ON to Off. Say Ok and at the top you will have to click apply button (!) and then restart the computer.

4)  Then at each workstation you need to copy WBTRCALL.DLL, WBTRV32.DLL, and wdbuui32.dll from the C:\PVSW\Bin folder (the default workstation install folder) to \winnt\system32 for NT/2000/XP and \Windows\System for Win9x and ME and then restart that computer.

\winnt or \windows is likely, windows XP is usually \windows\system32. 

TIP:  For additional Speed and Reliability it is a good idea to rebuild the AMS Data files X*.BTR  to the Version 8 format.
