Microsoft Access for Windows 95
Under Windows NT version 4.0, Microsoft Access for Windows 95 may generate errors that it can't resolve, particularly when using the Form wizard. This problem will be fixed in a later version of Access 95. Contact Microsoft Access Product Support for more information.

Microsoft Bookshelf '94
Bookshelf '94 may exhibit unexpected behavior when you click some of the options on the main menu bar. An example of this behavior is when you click the Tools menu. The menu title displayed as "ls Books" instead of "Tools" as expected. This can be solved by changing MENUPATTERN=1 to MENUPATTERN=0 in the [OPTIONS] section of BS94.ini.

Microsoft C/C++ 7.0a

Microsoft Encarta 95
There are known problems printing from Encarta 95 to PCL printers in 24bpp when metafile spooling is turned on. You can work around this problem by either turning off metafile spooling or by switching to 8 color or 256 color depth in the printer's document properties dialog box. To change the settings, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers. Right- click the printer, then click Document Defaults. If necessary, click the Advanced tab. Click Document Options to disable metafile spooling.

Microsoft Excel 5.0
A General Protection Fault occurs when saving a file with an embedded PowerPoint(r) object. The RISC version of Excel returns different function values than values returned by x86 compatible versions.

Microsoft Excel 5.0 for Windows NT
The RISC versions of Microsoft Excel 5.0c for Windows NT for DEC Alpha, MIPS, and PowerPC return different function values than values returned by x86 compatible version.

Windows NT version 4.0 allows you to compress NTFS drives. If you use the File Open dialog box in Excel 5.0c for Windows NT to view files on a compressed NTFS drive, files will not be displayed. This might also affect any macro commands designed to open or read files. This situation occurs only on the x86 platform. The Digital Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC, and 16-bit versions of Microsoft Excel are not affected. Excel 5.0c for Windows NT reads non-compressed NTFS or FAT drives correctly.

There are two ways to view your Excel 5.0c for Windows NT spreadsheet files on a compressed drive:


 * From the File Open dialog box in Excel 5.0c for Windows NT, type the name of the file you want to open in the File Name box, and then press ENTER

- Or -
 * From Explorer, double click the spreadsheet file you want to open.

Microsoft Explorapedia
The Readme file included with Microsoft Explorapedia states that non-intel ( MIPS, Alpha, PPC, or RISC processors ) running Windows NT are not supported. Windows NT version 4.0 now supports these processors. You must have administrator privileges to install this software application.

Microsoft Money for Windows 95
Under Windows NT, the Microsoft Money 95 application experiences problems with online banking and online stock quotes. This will be fixed in a future release of Money 95.

Microsoft Money for Windows 95, version 4.0 or 4.0a
To use online banking and online stock quotes in Money for Windows 95 on a computer running Windows NT Workstation, you must be able to dial out. Before you can dial out using TAPI services, replace the Xsnpc.dll file in the system folder of MSMONEY with the Windows NT version 4.0 release of the Microsoft FAST Xsnpc.dll file dated March 29, 1996.

This file can be found at www.microsoft.com and this file will be included in the next release of Money for Windows 95.

Microsoft Office 95 Applications
Changing window focus with any Microsoft Office 95 application open may cause screen refresh or display problems, particularly on multiprocessor systems. Contact Microsoft Product Service Support for a new version of mso95.dll which resolves the problem.

Microsoft Office Standard for Windows 95 version 7.0
If you install Microsoft Office Standard for Windows '95 version 7.0 onto a machine running Windows NT version 4.0, you will receive an error stating "Failure to load expression service" when using the Access ODBC driver from Office applications such as Excel or Word.

To correct this problem you need to obtain the Microsoft Office for Windows '95 version 7.0b release from Microsoft Product Support.

Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95
When running Publisher under Windows NT, the text on some buttons is truncated.

Microsoft Schedule+ 7.0
When running under Windows NT, Schedule+ 7.0 requires the CTL3D32.DLL. This DLL is not installed by the Office 95 Setup Program, so you must copy it from the Office Pro compact disc #1. Copy the file OS\SYSTEM\CTL3D32.DLL to your systemroot\system32 directory.

If you are upgrading from Windows NT 3.51 and have already installed Office for Windows 95 prior to upgrading, you will not need to copy this DLL.

Microsoft SNA Server
The SNA Administrator currently displays the wrong version number when you click About on the Help menu. On the MIPS platform only, SNA Server 2.11 and the SNA Server Windows NT client display incomplete text in dialog boxes. To obtain an update, contact:

  the MSSNA forum Lib #4 (unsupported third-party library)

Running SNA Server:

During the course of testing SNA Server 2.0 on Windows NT, two problems were discovered in SNA Server 2.0 as a result of the improved parameter checking and fault detection included in Windows NT. These do not affect the operation of SNA Server 2.0 on Windows NT 3.1.

The symptoms include SDLC and X.25 SNA connections that will not activate and 802.2 SNA connections that cause an exception in SNALINK.EXE. Fixes for these problems are available in the Library 2 section of the MSSNA forum on CompuServe.

If you have SNA Server 2.0 installed on your system, please copy the contents of the SNA directory to your snaroot\SYSTEM directory after you have upgraded your system to Windows NT version 4.0.

The contents of the SNA directory are: IBMSDLC.DLLIBMX25.DLLSNADLC.DLL

Microsoft recommends that you use SNA Server version 2.1 or 2.11 on all Windows NT version 4.0 systems. Please refer to the MSSNA forum on CompuServe for any additional updates or notices.

Microsoft SQL Server for Windows
If you create a new window using Tools/Windows/Form Window, Tools/Windows/Table Window, Tools/Windows/DialogBox, or Tools/Windows/MDIWindow, the form window box shows the title "frm1 tled" instead of "frm1 (untitled)."

At the end of installation, always choose Replace Existing Program Group, even on the first installation. If you choose to create a new program group, any name used will be considered invalid.

Report templates which are created or modified using Report Windows cannot be saved. The application reports it cannot create temporary files. This problem is fixed in Windows SQL Server 6.0.

Microsoft Visual C++ version 1.52
This version of Visual C++ does not compile applications on RISC platforms.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0
If you install Microsoft Visual C++(r) 2.0 (x86-based version) under Windows NT version 4.0, and attempt to run a Help file, the following error message appears:

Call to undefined dynalink.

This problem occurs because Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 Setup installs a Windows 95 version of a Windows Help extension DLL file (Msvcbook.dll) when you install Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 under Windows NT. This problem has been corrected in Microsoft Visual C++ 2.1 and 2.2.

To work around this problem, copy Msvcbook.dll from the \msvc20\bin directory on the Visual C++ 2.0 compact disc to your %systemroot%\system32 directory (for example, c:\winnt\system32).

Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0 and 4.1
The Visual C++ 4.0 and 4.1 Help Compiler (Hcw.exe) on RISC machines requires Cfm30.dll to run. If this .dll file is not present on your computer, or you experience other problems with this executable, please retrieve a later version of Hcw.exe, which does not require Cfm30.dll, from the Windows NT version 4.0 SDK found on the August 1996 MSDN compact disc.

Microsoft Windows 95 Plus! Pack
The Windows 95 Plus! Pack does not install under Windows NT.

Microsoft Windows Messaging 4.0

You cannot run the CBT with this operating system" or "CBT directory not found.

Microsoft Word 5.5 for MS-DOS
When using Word with a foreign language keyboard, start the application using the forcedos command. This enables you to compose accented characters with two keystrokes. For more information, see the forcedos topic in the Command Reference section of Windows NT Help.

MS-DOS-based applications can set only standard VGA modes directly under Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 4.0. The higher graphics modes (30 lines, 80 columns, 16 color and higher) offered by Word are not supported. The 25 line, 80 column, 16 color graphics mode is supported.

Microsoft Works 3.0
Windows NT does not support computer-based tutorial (CBT) files. The Help files use CBT files for the Examples, Demos, and Quick Previews. When you view sections of Help that use the CBT files, the following error appears:

Norton Utilities for Windows 95
The programs in Norton Utilities for Windows 95 do not run under Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server version 4.0. You can use the programs from Windows 95 on dual boot systems to operate on FAT-formatted drives created or modified by Windows NT.

Because of differences in the way Windows NT and Windows 95 generate short filenames, the Norton Utilities programs may incorrectly report that short filenames created by Windows NT are no longer associated with their original files. If the programs attempt to "fix" the Windows NT filenames, the files may no longer be accessible.

Norton Navigator, and AntiVirus for Windows 95
These applications are specific to the Windows 95 operating system and are not intended for use on Windows NT version 4.0. They correctly detect that Windows 95 is not present and do not install.

Norton NT Tools 1.0
You cannot enter a colon or the designations "AM" or "PM" directly into the Norton Control Center virus scans scheduling edit box. You can schedule virus scans by copying a time from an application such as Notepad to the Windows clipboard and pasting it in the edit box. You can also set the scheduled time by choosing Scheduler on the Tools menu in the Norton AntiVirus Scanner.

Some of the buttons in Norton System Doctor's alarms such as Task Manager and System Settings fail to work on Windows NT version 4.0. Contact Symantec at www.symantec.com for more information.

Some embedded OLE objects may not behave as expected in files opened with Quattro Pro 6.0. Quattro Pro 6.01 has improved OLE implementation. Contact Novell at (800) 861-2774.

In Quattro Pro for MS-DOS (RISC only), keyboard response may be exceptionally slow.

In Quattro Pro for Windows 1.0, multiple-copy printing is not supported. When you select Redirect To File in the Printer Setup dialog box, the printer output will be redirected to a file in the \systemroot\system32 directory, even if you choose a different directory using the Browse button. The file will overwrite an existing file of the same name without any warning message. Another file with the same name will also be created in the directory you select using the Browse button, or in the Quattro Pro directory by default. This file will not contain any printer information and will have a size of zero bytes.

Quattro Pro may display printers in its Printer Setup dialog box that are no longer available. A General Protection Fault may occur if you try to print to an unavailable printer. To see if a printer is still available, click Start point to Settings, click Printers, and then double-click the printer to view the status.

Quick View Plus
Close and exit Quick View Plus, including any open viewing windows, before attempting to remove Quick View Plus by using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

Quicken version 4.0
The communications portion of Quicken version 4.0 will only run on Windows NT version 4.0 if it is installed on x86-compatible computers.

Quicken version 5.0 and Quicken Deluxe version 5.0
Quicken 5.0 will not install on Window NT version 4.0 because the installation program is looking for Program Manager (Progman.exe) in the Windows directory. Windows NT includes a 32-bit version of Progman.exe in the System32 directory.

If Windows NT version 4.0 has not been installed in the same directory as Windows 95 or Windows version 3.1, copy Progman.exe into the systemroot (for example c:\winnt) directory before installing Quicken 5.0. After Quicken is installed, delete Progman.exe from the systemroot directory.

If Windows NT version 4.0 has been installed in the same directory as Windows 95 or Windows version 3.1, the Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 version of Progman.exe will already be in the Windows directory.

Copy the existing version of Progman.exe to another directory before copying the 32-bit version of Progman.exe from the System32 directory to the Windows directory. After Quicken is installed, copy the Windows 95 or the Windows 3.1 version of Progman.exe back into the Windows directory.

Reflection 2
Only a small portion of the printer icon appears in the Print dialog. If you have more than one printer, you can select any of them in the Print Setup dialog, but the change is not reflected in the Print dialog and all hard copy is sent to the default printer.

Remotely Possible/32
If you have Remotely Possible/32 version 2.0 or 2.1 installed on computer running Windows NT 3.51, you must uninstall Remotely Possible before installing Windows NT 4.0. If you do not, Windows NT will not install correctly. You can uninstall Remotely Possible by running the Remove.bat file located on the Remotely Possible distribution disk. After you have upgraded to Windows NT, you can reinstall Remotely Possible.

Remotely Possible/32 versions 2.0 and 2.1 do not enter Host mode under Windows NT version 4.0. Remotely Possible/32 can be run in client mode under Windows NT version 4.0 and can connect with Window NT 3.51 and Windows 95 hosts. Contact Avalan at http://www.avalan.com for upgrade information.

Serif PagePlus Home/Office
When Serif PagePlus Home/Office is installed, the program group icons "PagePlus Home Office Online Documentation", "PagePlus Home Office Readme" and "Serif PagePlus Home Office" icons are not added to the Start menu. Normally, the icons would appear when you click Start, point to Programs, and then click Serif Applications/(missing filename). The icons do not appear because the application's install program creates a filename with a forward slash (/) in it ("...Home/Office"). Because Windows NT maintains POSIX compatibility, forward slashes are directory separators.
