                 Installation Instructions



==================================================================



* Installation



   To run the 32-bit 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 set up.  You can also get TCP/IP

   software from third-party vendors, such as Trumpet Software

   or Ftp Software. 



   To run the 16-bit Navigator, you MUST have a 16-bit TCP/IP stack.

   You can get (16-bit) TCP/IP software from third-party vendors, such as

   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 32-bit : Setup.exe 

                  

   Double-click on the self-extracting file

   to start the installation process automatically.





* Windows 95 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 Navigator 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 later.



* If you have an existing version of Communicator 4.0 installed, it

  is recommended you uninstall it before installing Navigator 4.0.

  This can be done from the Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs)

  in Win95/NT4.0 or the Netscape Communicator program group in

  Windows 3.1/NT3.51.

                        Running Netscape Navigator



==================================================================



What do I need to run Netscape Navigator?



There are two requirements for Netscape Navigator:



    1. A direct Ethernet connection to the network (providing intranet or 

       Internet access), or a dialup SLIP or PPP account from an Internet 

       service provider.



    2. TCP/IP stack.



You can get a direct connection to the Internet through a service

provider in your area.  Your network administrator can help

you connect to your intranet. Your service provider or your network

administrator can also provide you with a SLIP or a PPP

account.



==================================================================



                         International



==================================================================



The Netscape installer will overwrite existing OLE2 DLLs with the

latest versions for US Windows. This will not affect 32-bit

Windows. Occasionally, the Japanese user may see an English

language OLE2 error message after installing Netscape Navigator.

Currently, there are no Japanese versions available for the OLE2 DLLs.
