After installing your modem under Windows 95, either through the Modems icon in the Windows 95 Control Panel, or through the Account Setup Wizard, you must restart your computer before Windows 95 will be able to dial your modem. * If you have configured Microsoft TCP/IP to use DNS (Domain Name Service), you may not be able to connect to hosts through your Dial-Up Networking connection. Your Dial-Up Networking connection contains its own fields for your ISP's name servers, which will be not be used if you have specified name servers in your Microsoft TCP/IP configuration. The Account Setup Wizard will warn you if you have configured Microsoft TCP/IP to use DNS. If you see this warning, double-click the Getting Started icon in your Navigator program group, and read the topics on "DNS configuration" to either modify or disable DNS. * To Uninstall Netscape Personal Edition, select Settings | Control Panel from the Windows 95 Start Menu. Then select Add / Remove Programs from the Control Panel. To uninstall, select Netscape Personal Edition from the list of installed programs, and click the Add / Remove button. Windows 3.x: * To receive mail through Netscape Navigator, click on the Get Mail icon. To configure the Navigator to retrieve mail automatically, select the Mail and News Preferences under the Options menu. On the Servers tab, set "Check for Mail" to the number of minutes the Navigator should wait between mail checks. If you using the Navigator while off-line, you may wish to set "Check for Mail" to 0 to prevent the Navigator from dialing to your ISP. * To uninstall Netscape Personal Edition, run the program NUNINST.EXE. The uninstall program is located in the C:\Netscape\Uninstal directory if you installed in C:\Netscape. Do not run NUNINST.EXE unless you want to uninstall Netscape Personal Edition. After running nuninst.exe, some Netscape configuration information will be deleted, even if you click No on the uninstaller's confirmation dialog. You must re-install Netscape Personal Edition. * When upgrading from Netscape Personal Edition version 1.1, the Install Wizard defaults to restarting Windows, but you must restart your computer before you will be able to connect to your ISP. * Some RPI modems may not be correctly auto-detected. If you get a General Protection Fault during auto-detection, restart Windows, restart the Account Setup Wizard, and choose your modem manually. * You may encounter problems under low memory conditions with RPI modems while viewing large text documents. * If your modem is not listed in Modem Wizard's list of modems, first try the Hayes compatible setting. If the "Hayes compatible" setting does not work, try the "Other Windows modem" setting. * If you have Visioneer PaperPort drivers installed, you must re-detect your modem after you re-start Windows.
