following information to properly install the programs.
The Pegasus Disc Internet Tools Kit:

software on your computer. It is now safe to restart your
computer."

time." If you do NOT select this option, you will have to
manually restart your computer before the installation will be
complete.
9. Troubleshooting for common problems and questions:
*** Macintosh / PC / Windows Problems ***
Q: When I put the CD into my computer, nothing happens, what
am I supposed to do?
A: Auto-run for CD's is not enabled on your computer. Double
click My Computer, then double click The Pegasus Disc icon.
Q: After I complete UCF-Setup, the window tells me to double click on
Dial-Up Networking, but it's not there.
A: Dial-Up Networking needs to be installed on your computer.
Click on Start, Settings, then Control Panel. Open
"Add/Remove Programs". Click on the "Windows Setup" tab.
In the list of items double click on Communications. Check
"Dial-Up Networking". Click "OK". At this point Windows
will attempt to install Dial-Up Networking. You may need
your Windows CD at this point. After it is finished,
close all windows and try UCF-Setup again.
Q: I need to dial a special number to get to an outside line.
How do I tell my computer/modem to dial an outside line to
connect to the internet?
A: After you run the UCF-Setup program, do the following:
Open My Computer, then open Dial-Up Networking. Right
click on the UCF connection icon, then select properties.
You will see a line that contains the phone number for
the pegasus terminal server. Add the appropriate dialing
prefix before the number then press OK.
Q: I have Windows NT 4.0. Is there help available to set
up my internet connection to UCF?
A: There is no program that will automatically install the
connection for you, but there is a help section on
the CD-ROM on how to manually set up the connection.
Open up an internet browser then select open location
from the File menu.
Enter x:\tutorials\lol\internet\remote\remote04.html
(where x:\ is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).
Q: The CD wants me to install Netscape and I already
have it. Am I going to lose my bookmarks and settings?
A: No, Netscape is smart enough to look for older versions
and transfer all of your bookmarks and internet settings so you
might use them in the newer version.
Q: When I try to install QuickTime my computer tells me that
there is not enough space on my temp drive.
A: Open up Windows Explorer and find the C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
folder and delete all files in that folder. Run the
installation program again.
Q: When I try to install Shockwave, I get an error "The DLL
urlmon.dll could not be found in the path specified."
A: This sometimes happens with Windows NT 4.0. You can
safely ignore the error, everything will still work.
Q: When I try to launch the self test or another quiz, I get the
message that I need to update my Director plug-in.
A: Launch CD-ROM, select the "install" button, and follow instructions
(you may wish to refer to the Walk Me Through It Guide).
