- Windows 3.x Installation
- ------------------------
-
- The Windows 3.x installation allows you to choose which components you wish to
- install. To register your account you must install the Launcher and Internet
- Explorer components.
-
- If you already have installed Internet Explorer, the main installer screen will
- detect it as being installed and disable the installation option. If for some
- reason you wish to reinstall it, you can run iesetup.exe in the Win31/Iexplore
- directory.
-

-
- Windows 95/98/NT4 Installation
- ---------------------------
-
- The Windows 95/98/NT4 installation allows you to choose which components you wish
- to install. To register your account you must install the Launcher component and
- have an internet browser installed. If you already have Internet Explorer
- version 3.02 or later installed you need not reinstall the browser. However, if
- you do not have Internet Explorer version 4 or later installed, you will not be
- able to use a secure HTTP connection to register your account.
-
- The iPass wizard is an optional component, it is only required if you envisage
- taking your computer out of the UK and wanting to dial into your account.
-
- If you already have installed Internet Explorer, the main installer screen will
- detect it as being installed and disable the installation option. If for some
- reason you wish to reinstall it, you can run ie5setup.exe in the Win95_nt/Iexplore

- Known Problems with Windows 3.x
- -------------------------------
-
- The iPass dial wizard, FTP, Ping and Telnet programs are not available on Windows 3.x.
-
- The Registration Wizard sometimes crashes when you close it. The crash happens after
- your account details have been updated on the PC, so it does not affect your use of
- the Launcher.
-
- You cannot register without installing Internet Explorer 3.03, but the Register
- button on the Setup program becomes enabled once you have installed the Launcher.
- Do not click the register button until you have installed both the Launcher and IE.
-
- Hotspots occasionally are not displayed correctly due to memory problems. Restarting
- Windows normally fixes this.
-
- The Registration Wizard may lock up if it is run at the same time as the Launcher.
- Avoid running them at the same time.
-
- If the LAN option is selected in the Dialler Settings dialog in the Launcher,
- when the browser or mail is launched, Internet Explorer will try to use Dial-Up
- Networking to make the connection. Only Dial-up access is currently usable on
- Windows 3.x.
-
- Windows 3.11 is detected as Windows 3.10 on the Hardware Screen of the Registration
- Wizard.
-
- Secure HTTP is not used for registration on Windows 3.1. However, registration
- information is not transferred across the Internet if you use a modem to
- register your account.
