Installation Instructions
==================================================================
* Installation
Netscape Navigator 3.04 is being distributed as both a 16-bit
Windows program and a 32-bit Windows program. Both the 16-bit
and 32-bit versions of Netscape are shipped in a Premium
package that includes Plug-ins, and a Standard package that
does not include Plug-ins.
If you are running Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups,
you MUST use the 16-bit Navigator even if you have Win32s
installed. If you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT,
use the 32-bit Navigator. To run the 32bit Navigator,
you MUST have a 32-bit TCP/IP stack.
Both Windows 95 and Windows NT provide built-in 32bit TCP/IP
stacks that you can setup. You can also get (32 bit) TCP/IP
software from third party vendors like Trumpet Software,
and Ftp Software.
To obtain a copy of Netscape Navigator, download one of the
self-extracting executable files into a temporary directory.
for 16-bit : n16e304.exe
n16e304.exe (with Live3D and CoolTalk)
for 32-bit : n32e304.exe
n32e304.exe (with Live3D and CoolTalk)
16 bit users: First double click on the self-extracting
file in the File Manager to extract the setup files,
then run "setup.exe" to install Netscape Navigator.
32-bit users, just double click on the self-extracting file
to automatically start the installation process.
* Win95 users, if you are using any versions prior to this
release, you will get multiple uninstall entries in your
Add/Remove program. If you prefer not having multiple
entries, you should do an uninstall to remove your previous
version of Netscape before you install the new release.
* The Netscape Audio Plug-in will only work if you have a sound
card installed and configured properly. It will not work
with the PC speaker driver. Please check your sound card manual
to configure the sound card.
* If you had previously installed CoolTalk Watchdog, then you must
uninstall the version you have and reboot your machine before
installing the latest version. You might experience some
problems running Cooltalk with Matrox MGA Millennium graphic
adapters using early Windows95 drivers. Make sure that you are
running version 2.22.039 or above.
* Both CoolTalk and AVI Plugins on 16-bit version of Netscape
require Video for Windows. You can download Video for Windows
from:
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/navigator/3.04/current/windows
* For Information about Live3D, please read the Release Notes
under "Help-->Release Notes".
* Java is enabled in 32-bit version only.
* Please delete or rename your old CACHE directory and
Netscape.hst file.
* For more information about this release, please read the release
notes under "Help -> Release Notes".

unable to install the Netscape Navigator unless you upgrade to
version 1.20 (or above) of Win32s.
For more information on determining the Win32s version, obtaining
or removing Win32s, please read W32info.txt included in the
self-extracting executable.
==================================================================
OLE 2.02
==================================================================
Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows for Workgroups users:

files into the Windows System directory if there is no existing
DLL or if the existing DLL is older:
COMPOBJ.DLL 108544 10-10-94
MFCOLEUI.DLL 146976 1-13-95
OLE2.DLL 302592 10-10-94

==================================================================
Running Netscape
==================================================================
What do I need to run Netscape Navigator?
You must have a direct Internet connection before you can use
Netscape. The ability to send and receive e-mail does not
necessarily mean you can run Netscape. There are three
requirements for Netscape Navigator:
1. A direct Ethernet connection to the net, or a dialup
SLIP or PPP account from an Internet service provider.
2. TCP/IP stack
3. Netscape Navigator software
You can get a direct connection to the Internet through a service
provider in your area. You will need to get a SLIP or a PPP
account from an Internet provider (for a dialup account).
When you have full Internet connectivity, you need to have a
TCP/IP stack, dialer, and WINSOCK.DLL file.
If you get the error message "Cannot find WINSOCK.DLL" when
running Netscape Navigator, this means your computer is looking
for the WINSOCK.DLL file which is part of the winsock package.
==================================================================
International
==================================================================
The Netscape installer will overwrite existing OLE2 DLLs with the
latest versions for US Windows. This will not affect 32-bit
Windows. For 16-bit Windows, the only difference between the US
and the Japanese versions are the internationalization of error
strings. Occasionally, the Japanese user may see an English
language OLE2 error message after installing Netscape. 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-ins for Netscape
Navigator 3.04.
WHAT THE QUICKTIME PLUG-IN DOES:
Apple's QuickTime plug-in for Netscape Navigator 3.04 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 3.04. You can also view QuickTime VR Panoramas and
Objects inline, after downloading the QuickTime
