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

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

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++ 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:
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
