========================================================================
1. Upgrading from NNPE 1.1 or 1.2
a) Windows 3.x:
The Setup program will detect and retain some settings from
your previous version of NNPE. Setup will detect and save your
Eudora preferences for sending and receiving email. If you use
a script to log into your ISP, Setup will also convert your
old login scripts to use the new format.
b) Windows 95:
If you have an older version of Netscape Personal Edition
installed on your computer, your Dialer files will be con-
verted to Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking connections. If you
had used Personal Edition to configure your Eudora or Microsoft
Exchange mail preferences, Netscape Personal Edition 2.0 will
configure the Navigator to use your old mail preferences.
========================================================================
2. Troubleshooting
a) Windows 3.x:
1) How do I receive e-mail?
To receive mail through Netscape Navigator, click on the Get
Mail icon.
2) How do I set NNPE to retrieve mail automatically?
Select the Mail and News Preferences under the Options menu.
On the Servers tab, set "Check for Mail" to the number of
minutes the Navigator should wait between mail checks.
If you are using the Navigator while off-line, you may wish to
set "Check for Mail" to 0 to prevent the Navigator from making
an auto-dial to the network to check your mail.
3) How do I Uninstall NNPE?
NOTE: Do not run NUNINST.EXE unless you are certain that you
want to uninstall NNPE 2.0. After running nuninst.exe, some
Netscape configuration information will be deleted, even if you
choose No on the uninstaller's confirmation dialog. If you begin
any part of the uninstall process, you must re-install the entire
product.
To uninstall Netscape Personal Edition, run the program
NUNINST.EXE. The uninstall program is located in the
C:\cncnet\netscape\uninstal directory.
4) I can't connect to the network. What do I do?
There are several reasons why you may not be able to
connect to the network. Here are three of the most common:
1. If you registered for a Concentric Network account with
a Sales Representative, you must type in your UserID and
password exactly as it was given to you during the
registration process. See the "Troubleshooting" section
of the insert that came with your software for instruc-
tions on correcting your UserID and password information.
2. If you have another online service provider's software on your
system, you may be experiencing a winsock.dll conflict. See
the "Troubleshooting" section of the insert that came with
your software for instructions on correcting this problem.
3. If you upgraded from Netscape Personal Edition version 1.1,
you must restart your entire computer after the installation
process before you can connect to the network. The Install
Wizard will restart Windows for you, but this is not the same
as rebooting your whole system. To reboot, wait for Windows
to come onscreen again, then close it down. At the DOS prompt,
hit your reset button, or switch the power off and on again to
reboot your computer.
5) I get a General Protection Fault when the Install program
is trying to detect my modem. What do I do?
Some RPI modems may not be correctly auto-detected. If you get a
General Protection Fault during auto-detection, restart Windows,
restart the Account Signup Wizard, and choose your modem manually.
6) I'm having trouble viewing large documents. What do I do?
If you have an RPI modem, you may encounter problems under low
memory conditions while viewing large text documents. Try closing
down one or more of the other programs you are running to free up
some memory.
7) My modem is not listed in Modem Wizard's list of modems.
If your modem is not listed in Modem Wizard's list of modems, first
try the Hayes compatible setting. If the "Hayes compatible" setting
does not work, try the "Other Windows modem" setting.
8) My computer won't detect my Visioneer modem.
If you have Visioneer PaperPort drivers installed, you must
re-detect your modem after you re-start Windows.
b) Windows 95:
1) My computer won't dial my modem.
After installing your modem under Windows 95, either through the
Modems icon in the Windows 95 Control Panel, or through the Account
Setup Wizard, you must shut down and restart your entire computer
before Windows 95 will be able to dial your modem.
2) I can't connect to the network.
There are several reasons why you may not be able to
connect to the network. Here are three of the most common:
1. If you registered for a Concentric Network account with a
Sales Representative, you must type in your UserID and password
exactly as it was given to you during the registration process.
See the "Troubleshooting" section of the insert that came with
your software for instructions on changing your UserID and
password information.
2. If you have another online service provider's software on your
system, you may be experiencing a winsock.dll conflict. See
the "Troubleshooting" section of the insert that came with your
software for instructions on correcting this problem.
3. If you have configured Microsoft TCP/IP to use DNS (Domain Name
Service), you may not be able to connect to other hosts through
your Dial-Up Networking connection. Your Dial-Up Networking
connection contains its own fields for Concentric's name servers,
which will be not be used if you have specified name servers in
your Microsoft TCP/IP configuration.
The Account Setup Wizard will warn you if you have configured
Microsoft TCP/IP to use DNS. If you see this warning, double-
click the Getting Started icon in your Navigator program group,
and read the topics on "DNS configuration" to either modify or
disable DNS.
3) How do I uninstall NNPE?
To Uninstall Netscape Personal Edition, select Settings | Control
Panel from the
