Japanese MSN: Incorrect Access Numbers May Be Displayed
Last reviewed: October 7, 1997

Article ID: Q153472

The information in this article applies to:


 * The Microsoft Network version 1.0

SYMPTOMS
When you are using the Japanese version of Windows 95 and MSN, The Microsoft Network, and you select a country other than Japan in the Regional Settings tool in Control Panel, the access numbers displayed when you click Connection Settings in MSN may not be the correct numbers for the selected region. As a result, you may inadvertently select a long distance phone number.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:


 * 1) In Control Panel, double-click Regional Settings.
 * 2) On the Regional Settings tab, click Japan, and then click OK.
 * 3) Go to Connection Settings and select an access number.

MORE INFORMATION
This problem occurs only in MSN 1.0 and is fixed in later versions. Therefore, this problem is an issue when you are signing up for MSN using the version of MSN included with Windows 95. However, if you select an incorrect access number during sign-up and then upgrade to a later version of MSN, MSN continues to dial the incorrect access number unless you return to Connection Settings and select another access number.
