QuickBooks

2000Before upgrading to Windows 2000, rename the Intuit QuickBooks 2000 QBCONV32.DLL file.
Unless you rename it, the Windows 2000 Readiness Analyzer can’t complete
the install on a Windows 95 or 98 system. Once the install is complete,
you’ll have to rename the file back to qbconv32.dll to keep QuickBooks
happy.

Internet
Explorer 5Without write
permissions to an FTP site, when a program makes that second FtpOpenFile
function call to a file on a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5 for Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0 may hang. Microsoft
has a fix, but at the time of this writing, it wasn’t fully regression
tested. Therefore, they suggest applying it only if the problem causes

supported platforms, once Microsoft Word 2000 is shut down, WinFax PRO
10.0 may generate this message, says Symantec: “Changes have been

cookies that weren’t created by that Web site from your computer, says
Microsoft.

AntiVirus 2000Beware the
witching hour! If Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2000 for Windows 95 or 98
is installed, and Auto-Protect is enabled, the chances that your system
may come to a screeching halt on any given day at 11:59 P.M. are good.
Doing a Ctrl+Alt+Del maneuver to open the Close Program box, generates
the error, “Msgsrv32.exe (Not responding)”, requiring a reboot.
Symantec Technical Support was alerted of this glitch after the June
16, 2000 and June 19, 2000 virus release definitions. Since then, new
definitions that resolve the problem have been posted to Symantec’s
LiveUpdate. Look for a date after 10 P.M. PST, June 21, 2000 or later
to eliminate any chance of a recurrence.

the Autocomplete feature on the address bar in Internet Explorer 5.5
for Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, and NT 4.0, doesn’t complete a LOCAL intranet
URL. However, the feature does prompt users with possible URLs when
an Internet URL is entered. For now, users will have to type the entire
intranet URL to work around this flub.

Internet

component to Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 5.5 in Windows 2000, the
approved method is to use the Add/Remove tool located in the Control

Explorer 5An “ImportExportFavorites”
vulnerability rears its ugly head in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE)

case, a malicious Web site operator has an opportunity to take any action
on the computer that the user would be capable of taking. Disabling

visitors.
