5) Issues using Netscape v4.5:
---------------------------
If you are using Netscape v4.5 you may receive the following
error message:
"This application uses CTL3D32.DLL, which is not the correct
version. This version of CTL3D32.DLL is designed only for
Windows NT systems".
This error is due to the fact that Netscape v4.5 is not an official
release from Netscape. To correct this problem go to
http://www.netscape.com and download one of the following versions
of Netscape:
4.61 - Netscape Communicator
4.61 - Netscape Communicator with Enterprise Calendar

6) Registry errors installing IE5:
-------------------------------
The installation of IE5 requires a large amount of free
space in your registry. If the install of IE5 begins and
does not complete with an error stating there is not enough
registry space, the following should correct this problem.
Under Windows 95/98 - the registry is allowed to grow
dynamically as long as there is free disk space. Freeing up
disk space will allow the install of IE5 to complete.
In Windows NT / 2000 the registry has a fixed upper size limit.
That limit is configurable via
"My Computer/Properties/Performance/Virtual Memory/Change".
Configure the Registry size to be larger and the install of
IE5 will complete.

clicking on the orb in the system tray

9) Netscape 3.x is not recognized when using Windows NT:
----------------------------------------------------
If Netscape 3.x is running on a Windows NT machine and Prodigy
Internet 5.0 is installed, Netscape is not recognized as the
default browser. This is because Netscape does not identify
itself correctly in the Windows NT registry. Therefore, Prodigy
Internet will install Internet Explorer 5.0 and make that the
default browser.
