Windows NT Installation with Networking Installed 13

The CardWizard utility, which helps Windows NT to load and manage software, must be installed. If the installation program does not detect the CardWizard utility on your computer, it will ask whether you want to install it. If you already have a similar utility installed, you must first uninstall that utility to prevent conflicts with CardWizard.

Internet Explorer version 4 is required to view help files. It is recommended that you install Internet Explorer version 5 or later.
