Using Internet Explorer 4.0 with Virtual Memory

Control Panel.
2. Double-click the System icon, and then click the Performance tab.

SETUP
=====
- WARNING: Do not install any previous version of Internet
Explorer over Internet Explorer 4.0. If you need to install
an earlier version of Internet Explorer, you must uninstall
Internet Explorer 4.0 first.
- You should always uninstall your current version of Internet
Explorer 4.0 before installing a newer build.
- It is recommended that you download Internet Explorer 4.0 to a
directory that does not contain any other files and that will not
be used for any other purpose. If for some reason you want to
uninstall the setup files by clicking the Add/Remove Programs
icon and then clicking Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Setup
Files, the download directory will be removed.
- Before you install Internet Explorer 4.0, you should disable any
scheduled tasks from running that might interfere with the Setup
process.
Installing Internet Explorer 4.0
--------------------------------
Whether you choose to install over the network or to download
the installation files to your hard disk, the Setup files are
copied to your hard disk. This is so you can reinstall more
quickly if you need to. If you want to reclaim the disk space,
you can remove the setup directory by double-clicking the Add/Remove
Programs icon in Control Panel and then clicking Internet Explorer
4.0 Setup Files.
You cannot install Internet Explorer 4.0 to or run it from a
network drive. However, you can download it to a network drive.
To do this, you must map the network drive to a drive letter on
your computer. You cannot download Internet Explorer 4.0 to a
UNC path.
If Internet Explorer 4.0 appears to stop responding at the end
of Setup, you need to restart your computer manually.
Running Internet Explorer 4.0 on Windows NT
-------------------------------------------
NOTE: You must have administrative privileges to install and
uninstall this program on Windows NT. This includes having
administrative privileges the first time you start your computer
after installing or uninstalling.
You must restart your computer after installing Internet Explorer
4.0. This is also true for some add-on components.
If you're running Internet Explorer 4.0 on Windows NT, you must
set user permissions to Full Control for the Temporary Internet
Files folder (cache). The user must have write permission in order
for files to be stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
If you must reinstall Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3) after
you install Internet Explorer 4.0, you must specify when prompted
that you do not want it to overwrite any files that are newer.
After SP3 is reinstalled, carry out the following steps to update
the registry:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. Type the following: regsvr32 rsabase.dl
3. Click OK.
Running Internet Explorer 4.0 on a Dual-Boot Operating System
-------------------------------------------------------------
If your computer is set up to dual boot between two operating
systems, you must install Internet Explorer 4.0 in separate
directories for each operating system. For example, if you are
running Windows 95 and Windows NT, you might want to install
Internet Explorer 4.0 in C:\IE95 for Windows 95 and in C:\IENT
for Windows NT. Do not try to use the same installation of
Internet Explorer with two operating systems. If you later
uninstall Internet Explorer 4.0, one of your operating systems
may be left unbootable.
Note also that if you dual boot between two operating systems
that are configured to share a Program Files folder, and you
uninstall an add-on component from one of your Internet Explorer
4.0 installations, it will be removed from both of them. This is
because the add-on files are stored in the Program Files folder.
