- Clicking the Home button in the Intel Connection Advisor(TM)
- application on some systems produces this error message:
- "Error loading url.dll - System can not find the file specified".
- You won't be able to connect to the Intel Connected PC Web site.
- This is due to a missing file, URL.DLL. The version of Windows95
- that was first released in August 1995 did not include this file.
- Newer versions of Windows95 do include URL.DLL. To correct this
- problem, install the latest version of Internet Explorer, or contact
- Microsoft Technical Support.

- card, there may be bus contention during video capture. As a result,

- latest drivers for the graphics adapter card and do the following steps
- for the particular card you are using.

-
- For more FAQs:
- If you have a question that is not answered in this section, please see
- the full online FAQ. From Intel Internet Video Phone, click the Help menu,
- click Contents, and then click Frequently Asked Questions.
-
-
- Q. I am experiencing audio problems. Why?
-
- A. Please check the following:
-
- 1. Audio loss or breakup. If you experience audio breakup while
- you are talking AND doing other things on the Internet, you may
- be overloading your processor. You can improve the audio by having
- the remote PC use the Video Pause feature or by suspending the
- computer-intensive or network-intensive activity.
-
- 2. Other party cannot hear you. If you have a half-duplex sound card,
- notice that there is a Talk button on the Intel Internet Video Phone.
- Press this button to talk. Also, check the microphone's volume bar
- next to the message area on the phone panel. If it moves as you talk,
- sound is being transmitted.
-
- 3. Adjusting the volume in half-duplex mode. If you have a half-duplex
- sound card, you need to be in the listen mode (the Talk button is not
- pressed) in order to adjust the volume on your Intel Internet Video
- Phone.
-
- 4. Background noise. Most background noise is caused by the
- microphone gain or volume being set too high. One way to reduce the
- microphone volume is by using the configuration wizard.
-
- Q. I changed my user name, but when I find my listing in my
- browser, my old name still shows up. Why?
-
- A. If you change the user name in the User Information dialog box, you
- must reload the page in your browser to see the new changes.
-
-
- Q. How do I remove Intel Internet Video Phone?
-
- A. 1. Click Start/Settings/Control Panel, then double-click the

- 3. Select Intel Internet Video Phone.

- 5. Click Yes to confirm file deletion.
- 6. If prompted to remove shared files, click Yes.
-
-
- Q. I get this message: "Could not connect. TCP refused the
- connection." Why?
-
- A. . You dialed someone who is not running the Intel Internet
- Video Phone.
-
- . Either you or the person you dialed is not connected to the
- Internet. Make sure you are both connected to an Internet
- Service Provider.
-

- Phone, but has one of the application's dialog boxes open.
-
- . You dialed someone who is running Intel Internet Video
- Phone, but that person's network software was not able to
- respond to the call request in time. This can happen when
- there is a lot of traffic on the Internet. If this occurs,
- try setting the "Call setup timeout" value in the
- "Dial | Call Preferences" dialog box to a larger value.
-
-
- Q. I get the error: "Attempts to register with the name
- server failed."
-
- A. This is usually caused by one of two problems:
-
- . Your system is not connected to the Internet.
- To verify that your system is connected to the Internet,
- open your browser, and navigate to your favorite Web site
- (such as www.intel.com). If you experience problems,
- contact your Internet Service Provider for assistance.
-
- . The Internet Directory Service you are using is not
