Installation Instructions
=====================================================
* Installation
Netscape Navigator 3.0 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 : n1630.exe
n1630p.exe (with Live3D and
CoolTalk)
for 32-bit : n3230.exe
n3230p.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/3.0/
/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".
=====================================================
Win32s
=====================================================
Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows for Workgroups
users:
If you are running version 1.15 or below of Win32s,
you will be 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:
The Netscape 16bit Installer will install the
following OLE2 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
OLE2.REG 27026 10-10-94
OLE2CONV.DLL 57328 10-10-94
OLE2DISP.DLL 164832 10-10-94
OLE2NLS.DLL 150976 10-10-94
OLE2PROX.DLL 51712 10-10-94
STDOLE.TLB 4304 10-10-94
STORAGE.DLL 157696 10-10-94
TYPELIB.DLL 177216 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 3.0.
WHAT THE QUICKTIME PLUG-IN DOES:
Apple's QuickTime plug-in for Netscape Navigator 3.0
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 3.0. You can
also view QuickTime VR Panoramas and Objects inline,
after downloading the QuickTime VR component from
Apple. As a web developer, you can control the
QuickTime playback experience through HTML commands.
You can choose to have a movie automatically played
for a user, or present a controller giving users the
ability to play, stop, fastforward, and rewind.
The QuickTime plug-in works with existing QuickTime
movies, and with movies prepared to take advantage of
the plug-in's "fast start" feature. The "fast start"
feature will present the first frame of the movie
almost immediately and can begin playing even before
the movie has been completely downloaded. The "fast
start" feature saves you time waiting for the entire
movie to download, but otherwise plays just like
regular QuickTime movie.
Netscape Navigator will use the QuickTime plug-in
automatically to play any QuickTime movie while
browsing the internet. The plug-in can play many kinds
of QuickTime movies (.mov files) including movies with
text, MIDI, and other kinds of data. If you have
downloaded and installed the QuickTime VR component,
it will also let you interact with QuickTime VR
Panoramas and Objects.
WHAT YOU NEED:
* A PC running Windows 95, NT, or 3.1.
* Latest version(s) of QuickTime :
- QuickTime 2.1.1 for Windows
You can download version of QuickTime from
http://quicktime.apple.com/qt/sw/sw.html Follow the
instructions on the page to install the software. The
PC files are in ZIP format and you will need a utility
such as pkunzip to extract the software.
* Apple's QuickTime plug-in
You can obtain the QuickTime plug-in by downloading
Netscape Navigator 3.0 (http://home.netscape.com).
Please make sure you have downloaded the plug-in that
is most appropriate for the computer you are using.
* QuickTime VR
If you would like to view QuickTime VR (Virtual
Reality) Panoramas and Objects using the QuickTime
plug-in, you will need the QTVR library for Windows
(QTVRW.QTC). The QTVR software is *not* included with
Netscape Navigator 3.0, but you can download them from
either the Apple QuickTime VR site
(http://qtvr.quicktime.apple.com) or the QuickTime
Software page (http://quicktime.apple.com).
On Windows, the QTVRW.QTC file must be in the WINDOWS
directory of your primary drive.
If you have never seen QuickTime VR before, be sure to
stop by Apple's QuickTime VR web page
(http://qtvr.quicktime.apple.com) to learn more about
this cool software.
* Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later
You can download Navigator 3.0 from Netscape's site at
http://home.netscape.com
HOW TO USE THE PLUG-IN:
Netscape Navigator 3.0 includes the QuickTime plug-in.
When you run Navigator 3.0, the plug-in will be ready
to use.
If you are downloading the QuickTime plug-in or the
QuickTime VR components for the plug-in from Apple's
web site, you must quit Netscape Navigator and move
the software to the appropriate location (see above).
When you relaunch Navigator, the plug-in will be
loaded and ready to use.
After you have downloaded and set up the software, you
may want to re-visit our site
(http://quicktime.apple.com) for additional
information on:
* Cool sample pages that illustrate how you can
incorporate Quicktime into your web pages.
* Pointers to pages by other companies that
incorporate QuickTime.
* Information on how to optimize your movies for
playback on the internet.
* Documentation how to customize your web pages to
take full advantage of the QuickTime plug-ins.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS:
Q: Should Windows users download the 16-bit or 32-bit
version of the QuickTime plug-in, or both?
A: First of all, if you are using Netscape Navigator
3.0, you do not need to download the plug-in, it is
bundled with Navigator 3.0. But beyond that,
definitely *not* both. Download the version of the
plug-in that matches the version of Navigator you are
running. If you are not sure which version you are
running, look inside the PLUGINS folder in your
NETSCAPE folder. If you see Npnull16.dll, you are
using 16-bit Navigator. If you see Npnull32.dll, you
are using 32-bit Navigator.
Q: I am running Windows '95 (or NT). I downloaded the
QuickTime VR software (QTVRW.QTC), installed it in my
WINDOWS directory, and rebooted. But When I run
Navigator with the QuickTime VR component, I can't
view QuickTime VR Panoramas and Objects.
A: Currently there is only a 16-bit version of the
QuickTime VR software for Windows. The 16-bit version
will not work with a 32-bit (Windows '95/NT) version
of Netscape Navigator. If you would like to use the
QuickTime VR software with Navigator, you will have to
download and use the Windows 3.1 version of Netscape
Navigator. When a 32-bit version of the QuickTime VR
component is available for Windows '95/NT users, we
will post it on the QuickTime web site
(http://quicktime.apple.com).
Q: I downloaded Netscape Navigator 3.0, but the
QuickTime plug-in doesn't seem to be working.
A: Navigator 3.0 lets you pick plug-ins for different
types of content, just like you pick helper apps. You
may need to pick the QuickTime plug-in in the
Navigator "Options/Helpers" dialog to make the
QuickTime plug-in work.
Q: I am using a Web browser other than Netscape
Navigator 3.0 and I am experiencing problems with the
QuickTime plug-in.
A: Currently, the QuickTime plug-in only supports
Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later.
Q. I design web pages and would like to know more
about movie controls and other capabilities of the
QuickTime plug-in. Where should I look for
documentation?
A: The QuickTime plug-in provides a number of new and
exciting options for internet content providers.
Please check the documentation at
http://quicktime.apple.com to learn more.
Q: I am browsing a page with a QuickTime VR panorama
and expect that I can use the option and control
(shift and control on Windows) to zoom in/zoom out of
the movie. Likewise, with a regular QuickTime movie, I
expect the arrow keys to step through the movie a
frame at a time. But the movies don't seem to respond
to keystrokes.
A: You need to select the QuickTime VR panaroma or
QuickTime movie first by clicking on it. On Windows,
the arrow keys do not work.
Q. I'd like to save some of the movies to my hard
drive. How do I do this?
A. You can click on the movie and press Command-S on
the Macintosh or Control-S on the PC to bring up a
"save" dialogue. However, this will not work for
QuickTime VR movies. To save QuickTime VR movies go to
the Navigator 3.0 menu, select Options/General
Preferences/Helpers, then select QuickTime from the
list and choose Edit. At this point, you'll be
presented with a few options, all will work for saving
QuickTime VR files.
In case of trouble:
If you run into difficulties or have comments, please
let us know by sending e-mail to either:
Installation problems:

Comments/bug reports for the plugins:
quicktime.apple.com
Please be sure to let us know which version of the
plug-in you are using (Mac or Windows) and which
operating system (which system software or version of
Windows) you are running. Because of the heavy traffic
on the QuickTime pages, we may not be able to respond
