SYMPTOMS
If you try to start a program that requires access to the Internet after you enable the "Connect to the Internet as needed" feature in Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95, Windows 95 may not automatically dial the Internet using the Dial-Up Networking connection you specified.

CAUSE
This problem can occur if the Internet program you are using does not support the 32-bit Windows sockets that are included with Windows 95. 16- bit Internet programs and 32-bit Internet programs that do not support the 32-bit Windows sockets included with Windows 95 cannot use the AutoDial feature of Microsoft Plus!.

RESOLUTION
To determine if the Internet program that you are using supports the 32-bit Windows sockets included with Windows 95, or for information regarding a possible software upgrade that will allow you to use the AutoDial feature of Microsoft Plus!, please contact your software manufacturer.
