TP General - Removing IE 4.0 or 4.01 causes modem problems
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
After uninstalling Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 from Windows 95, the "Dialing Properties" button (under both "Modem Properties" and "Compose New Fax") is disabled. This may cause configuration and usage problems with your modem and fax functions. Removal of just the base browser, without removing the active desktop component, will also cause the problem.
Configuration:
Any ThinkPad running Windows 95 and IE 4.0 could be affected.
Workaround:
Copying an original TELEPHON.INI back into the \WINDOWS directory will re-enable the "Dialing Properties" button (A default TELEPHON.INI can be obtained below)
OR
Re-intstall IE 4.0/4.01
Solution:
Being pursued with MS.
Additional information:
Removal of IE 4.0 via "Add/Remove Programs" may delete the [CountryOverrides] section from the TELEPHON.INI file. Re-installation of IE 4.0, or copying an original of this file adds this section back into the TELEPHON.INI file.
