Bugs[edit | edit source]

Installation[edit | edit source]

  • Setup has a WINSETUP.BIN that is not recognized by setup at all times and causes setup to crash on most virtualizers except Microsoft Virtual PC, 86Box, and some versions of VMware, due to incorrect emulation of the segment limits of the CPU core. To patch this build to run on any virtualizer, use a WINSETUP.BIN from an earlier build or the RTM.
  • Setup might complain about some AOL 3.0 installation files being missing, which can be safely skipped.

Internet Explorer[edit | edit source]

Opening and closing the Favourites menu will crash Internet Explorer.
