- If you install Microsoft
Office 97 make sure that your regional settings are set to
UK before you start; otherwise you will be forced to use a US dictionary
and US paper sizes. After install add the Office Service Pack
(SR-1) (SR-2 available summer 98) to fix any bugs and possibly some
additional office enhancements.
- Sometimes you find that
the install/uninstall programs hangs, when you look at the task manager
its reports that the application is not responding; this is
to do with the relative priorities of MS Outlook and the install program.
Close MS Outlook to wake-up the install program.

- If you can't get your CD
player to work then it looks like the only solution is to reinstall
Windows NT.
- If you download the graphics
driver (*1) for your Dell PC then Make sure that you install Windows
NT 4.0 AND the latest service pack (currently 3) before you install
the graphics driver.
- If you reinstall NT you
will need the Crystal
Sound Drivers (*2). Install them using the multimedia icon
in the control panel, on devices select add then 'updated
or unlisted driver' from the list. You will also need to add the 'MUI-401
Compatible Driver' from the same list.
- If you are having a lot
of problems with suspended keyboards then the Patch
for Silitek keyboard (*3) might permanently fix it, but
usually unplugging the keyboard and putting it back in does the trick.

to the SMB server, security enhancements in Service Pack 3 means that
by default it is encrypted. To do this change a value in the windows

- Printers: I mount the network
printer hp24 on Smbhost (the path is \\Smbhost\hp24
or browse using the network neighbourhood). Once installed,
make sure the Document Defaults (right click on the printer
icon) is set to A4, if it is Letter you will have to manually feed the
paper! Syssies

using their (complicated) instructions)

To add
a printer double click the add printer icon, from the
start menu select Settings/Printers/Add Printer. You want a to
add a Network printer server, the next screen is the

I've never had to
do anything with this setting, but, make sure that you have

can be found by the right-click menu on the printer icon and
selecting document defaults, look under document
options:PostScript options. Microsoft
