Error: Cannot Access Windows Registry
To correct this error you will need to restore your Windows
Registry to its original state.
1 Exit Windows
2 Change to your windows directory and type:
rename reg.dat reg.msp
3 Restart Windows.
4 Once in Program Manager, select Run from the File menu.

registration information that came with Windows.

Error: PCTCPAPI 3.0 pctcp kernel and the virtual device driver are not loaded
This error is usually due to an invalid winsock being loaded
into memory. You will need to rename all winsock.dll files on
your system except for MindSpring's winsock.dll
To search and rename other winsock.dll files:
1 From Program Manager, double-click on your Main group and
then double-click File Manager.
2 Select Search from the File menu.
3 In the Search for: field, type winsock.dll
In the Start from: field, type c:\
Search all subdirectories should be checked.
Click OK.
4 When the search is complete, the results will be displayed
in a window titled Search Results.
5 You should rename all winsock.dll files to winsock.msp except
for the winsock.dll in c:\pipeplus\bin\.
To rename a file from the Search Results window, simply click
on the file once, and then select Rename from the File menu.

Error: WINEXEC=8
This error is the result of not enough free system resources.
Close all applications before running the MindSpring Access
Panel by hitting CTRL+ESC to bring up the Task List. Select
the application you wish to close and then click End Task.
If you continue to encounter this error when there are no open
applications, you should refer to your MSDOS documentation to
increase available conventional memory.

GPF in KRNL386.EXE
Sometimes the Install Shield Wizard encounters a problem when
creating the MindSpring PipeLine + program group in Program
Manager. If you double-click on any Program Item in the
MindSpring PipeLine + group and receive a GPF in KRNL386.EXE,
simple delete that Program Item, and then create a new Program
Item for that application.

Could not log into the mail server. Check your username and password.
Could not retrieve usage stats...
Could not retreive message of the day...
MindSpring PipeLine+ is designed to accomplish three tasks
immediately after a connection is established: check for mail
waiting, check your account usage statistics, and display the
MindSpring Daily Announcements. If you receive any one of the
above messages, but are able to connect successfully (evidenced
by the ability to load Web pages in Netscape Navigator),
chances are that your UserID or Mailbox, or Domain are not
set correctly in MindSpring PipeLine+. All user information,
including your domain, can be set from the MindSpring
PipeLine + Setup.
To run MindSpring PipeLine + Setup:
1 With MindSpring PipeLine+ closed, switch to Program Manager,
and then double-click on the MindSpring PipeLine + group.
2 Double-click MSSetup.
3 Complete the PipeLine+ Setup window. Make sure that your
UserID is correct, that Mailbox has your primary Mailbox name,
and that Domain reflects your email address.
4 Click OK.
á
Unable to locate the installation log file ''.
This is a result of Install Shield's failure to creat the necessary
installation log file and place it in the proper directory. You can,
however, manually uninstall the MindSpring PipeLine + software from
your system by following these steps:
1 While in Program Manager, select Run from the File menu.
2 Type sysedit and click OK.
Next you will see a window titled System Configuration Editor.
3 Select c:\windows\system.ini from the Window menu.
Scroll down until you see a section labelled [386Enh].
Find the three lines added by MindSpring PipeLine+ Setup
and remove them completely.
4 Select Save from the File menu and then Exit from
System Configuration Editor.
5 Once back in Program Manager, double-click your Main group
and then double-click File Manager.
6 Click on the drive icon where you installed the MindSpring
PipeLine+ software.
7 Click once on the pipeplus folder.
8 Select Delete from the File menu.
Click Yes to all when prompted.
When all files are deleted, you will be back at File Manager.
You must restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
After restart, MindSpring PipeLine + is now removed from your system.
á
Error in VB40016.DLL
If you receive this error message when you try to run the MindSpring
PipeLine + Access Panel, then first disable all other applications.
Next, edit your config.sys file and add the line stacks=9,256 (or
modify an existing stack= line if it already exists) and then
restart your computer.
