A-6 NEC PowerMate VT 300i Series Release Notes

Installing Internet Explorer 4.01 Add-On Components from the

NEC Driver CD

Choosing the Installing Internet Explorer 4.01 Add-On Components option on
the NEC Driver CD results in a file opening error message. Due to the space
these components require, the component files are not included on the NEC
Driver CD. NEC CSD recommends that you run Internet Explorer 4.01, click
the Help menu, and select Product Update. This procedure takes you to the
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 website where you can install these
components.

Identifying the Pentium III Processor

NEC computer systems with the Intel® Pentium® III processor come equipped
with the most advanced Intel Pentium processor available.
Because the new Pentium III processor was introduced after the release of
Microsoft® Windows® 98, Windows 95, and Windows NT® operating systems,
these operating systems are not able to correctly identify the pro cessor. These
operating systems might identify the Pentium III processor as a Pentium II or
Pent iu m Pro proce ssor.
Windows identifies the processor on the General tab of the Windows S yst e m
Properties sheet. You can get to System Properties in either of the following
ways:
Right click the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop and select
Properties from the drop-down menu.
Select Settings from the Windows Start menu, click Control Panel,
double click the System icon.
The Windows System Properties processor identification does not effect in any
way the performance of the Pentium III processor. At bootup, the system BIOS
detects the Pentium III processor.
You can obtain a patch to fix the Windows processor identification once
Microsoft releases the patch. Check for the patch on the Microsoft website
(www.microsoft. com) or NEC CSD website (www.nec-c omputers.com).
SCSI Drive Limitations
The following procedures and operating limitations apply to systems whose only
