Follow these steps to log into your Internet account. 1. In Program Manager, select your dialer file. Select File | Properties. The "Command Line" will show you the path to your dialer file. (Your dialer file should have a file name that ends with ".SR" and should be in a directory called "dialer".) 2. Change the path in the Command Line to point to your new dialer directory. For example, if your old version was installed in a directory called "C:\OldStuff" and you installed Netscape Dial-Up Edition 3.0 in "C:\NewStuff", you should change your command line from "C:\OldStuff\Dialer\MyISP.SR" to "C:\NewStuff\Dialer\MyISP.SR" 3.

Occasionally, the Japanese user may see an English language OLE2 error message after installing Netscape Navigator. Currently, there are no Japanese versions available for the OLE2 DLLs. Netscape is working with Microsoft to make the Japanese version of the OLE2 DLLs available. ______________________________________________________________________ Information about the QuickTime Plug-in This part describes what you will need and how to use the Windows version of Apple's QuickTime plug-in for Netscape Navigator 3.0. WHAT THE QUICKTIME PLUG-IN DOES: Apple's QuickTime plug-in for Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later lets you experience QuickTime content directly in the Navigator browser window. You no longer need a "helper application" like MoviePlayer to view QuickTime content with Navigator 3.0. You can also view QuickTime VR Panoramas and Objects inline, after downloading the QuickTime VR component from Apple. As a web developer, you can control the QuickTime playback experience through HTML commands. You can choose to have a movie automatically played for a user, or present a controller giving users the ability to play, stop, fast forward, and rewind. The QuickTime plug-in works with existing QuickTime movies, and with movies prepared to take advantage of the plug-in's "fast start" feature. The "fast start" feature will present the first frame of the movie almost immediately and can begin playing even before the movie has been completely downloaded. The "fast start" feature saves you time waiting for the entire movie to download, but otherwise plays just like regular QuickTime movies. Netscape Navigator will use the QuickTime plug-in automatically to play any QuickTime movie while browsing the Internet. The plug-in can play many kinds of QuickTime movies (.mov files) including movies with text, MIDI, and other kinds of data. If you have downloaded and installed the QuickTime VR component, it will also let you interact with QuickTime VR Panoramas and Objects. WHAT YOU NEED: * A PC running Windows 95, NT, or 3.1. * Latest version(s) of QuickTime, QuickTime 2.1.1 for Windows You can download version of QuickTime from http://quicktime.apple.com/qt/sw/sw.html Follow the instructions on the page to install the software. The files are in ZIP format and you will need a utility such as pkunzip to extract the software. * Apple's QuickTime plug-in You can obtain the QuickTime plug-in by downloading Netscape Navigator 3.0 (http://home.netscape.com). Please make sure you have downloaded the plug-in that is most appropriate for the computer you are using. * QuickTime VR If you would like to view QuickTime VR (Virtual Reality) Panoramas and Objects using the QuickTime plug-in, you will need the QTVR library for Windows (QTVRW.QTC). The QTVR software is *not* included with Netscape Navigator 3.0, but you can download them from either the Apple QuickTime VR site (http://qtvr.quicktime.apple.com) or the QuickTime Software page (http://quicktime.apple.com). On Windows, the QTVRW.QTC file must be in the WINDOWS directory of your primary drive. If you have never seen QuickTime VR before, be sure to stop by Apple's QuickTime VR web page (http://qtvr.quicktime.apple.com) to learn more about this cool software. * Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later HOW TO USE THE PLUG-IN: Netscape Navigator 3.0 includes the QuickTime plug-in. When you run Navigator 3.0, the plug-in will be ready to use. If you are downloading the QuickTime plug-in or the QuickTime VR components for the plug-in from Apple's web site, you must quit Netscape Navigator and move the software to the appropriate location (see above). When you relaunch Navigator, the plug-in will be loaded and ready to use. After you have downloaded and set up the software, you may want to re-visit our site (http://quicktime.apple.com) for additional information on: * Cool sample pages that illustrate how you can incorporate Quicktime into your web pages. * Pointers to pages by other companies that incorporate QuickTime. * Information on how to optimize your movies for playback on the internet. * Documentation how to customize your web pages to take full advantage of the QuickTime plug-ins. FREQUENT QUESTIONS: Q: Should Windows users download the 16-bit or 32-bit version of the QuickTime plug-in, or both? A: First of all, if you are using Netscape Navigator 3.0, you do not need to download the plug-in, it is bundled with Navigator 3.0. But beyond that, definitely *not* both. Download the version of the plug-in that matches the version of Navigator you are running. If you are not sure which version you are running, look inside the PLUGINS folder in your NETSCAPE folder. If you see Npnull16.dll, you are using 16-bit Navigator. If you see Npnull32.dll, you are using 32-bit Navigator. Q: I am running Windows '95 (or NT). I downloaded the QuickTime VR software (QTVRW.QTC), installed it in my WINDOWS directory, and rebooted. But When I run Navigator with the QuickTime VR component, I can't view QuickTime VR Panoramas and Objects. A: Currently there is only a 16-bit version of the QuickTime VR software for Windows. The 16-bit version will not work with a 32-bit (Windows '95/NT) version of Netscape Navigator. If you would like to use the QuickTime VR software with Navigator, you will have to download and use the Windows 3.1 version of Netscape Navigator. When a 32-bit version of the QuickTime VR component is available for Windows '95/NT users, we will post it on the QuickTime web site (http://quicktime.apple.com). Q: I downloaded Netscape Navigator 3.0, but the QuickTime plug-in doesn't seem to be working. A: Navigator 3.0 lets you pick plug-ins for different types of content, just like you pick helper apps. You may need to pick the QuickTime plug-in in the Navigator "Options/Helpers" dialog to make the QuickTime plug-in work. Q: I am using a Web browser other than Netscape Navigator 3.0 and I am experiencing problems with the QuickTime plug-in. A: Currently, the QuickTime plug-in only supports Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later. Q. I design web pages and would like to know more about movie controls and other capabilities of the QuickTime plug-in. Where should I look for documentation? A: The QuickTime plug-in provides a number of new and exciting options for internet content providers. Please check the documentation at http://quicktime.apple.com to learn more. Q: I am browsing a page with a QuickTime VR panorama and expect that I can use the option and control (shift and control on Windows) to zoom in/zoom out of the movie. Likewise, with a regular QuickTime movie, I expect the arrow keys to step through the movie a frame at a time. But the movies don't seem to respond to keystrokes. A: You need to select the QuickTime VR panaroma or QuickTime movie first by clicking on it. On Windows, the arrow keys do not work. Q. I'd like to save some of the movies to my hard drive. How do I do this? A. You can click on the movie and press Command-S on the Macintosh or Control-S on the PC to bring up a "save" dialogue. However, this will not work for QuickTime VR movies. To save QuickTime VR movies go to the Navigator 3.0 menu, select Options|General Preferences| Helpers, then select QuickTime from the list and choose Edit. At this point, you'll be presented with a few options, all will work for saving QuickTime VR files. In case of trouble: If you run into difficulties or have comments, please let us know by sending e-mail to either: Installation problems: webmaster@quicktime.apple.com Comments/bug reports for the plugins: quicktime.apple.com Please be sure to let us know which version of the plug-in you are using (Mac or Windows) and which operating system (which system software or version of Windows) you are running.
