- 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".

-
- ==================================================================
- 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.
