SYMPTOMS
Some of the graphics or links in the "Microsoft Windows 98 Official Preview Kit" HTML files may not appear or function correctly.



CAUSE
The "Microsoft Windows 98 Official Preview Kit" CD-ROM was duplicated using long filenames and filenames containing spaces and lowercase letters. CD- ROM drives that use older MS-DOS drivers will not see these filenames correctly.



RESOLUTION
Contact your CD-ROM drive manufacturer to obtain an updated driver for your CD-ROM drive.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS cannot read CD-ROM filenames that contain spaces or lowercase letters. However, later versions of Microsoft Windows, including Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, use updated CD-ROM drivers to allow spaces, lowercase letters, and long filenames.

Because Windows 95 permits extended CD-ROM filenames, it does not have problems reading the CD-ROM for this book. However, Windows 95 configurations that use MS-DOS CD-ROM drivers will not be able to access the extended CD-ROM filenames on this CD-ROM.
