If you have already Installed Internet Explorer 4.0 and are Experiencing Problems:
Below are some common questions and answers to assist you with the upgrade to Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0. Additional information can be found on our Aptiva eSupport Web Site.
1. If you are experiencing problems with the Animated Icons in Aptiva Desktop Customization:
- Due to an incompatibility between animated icons and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, the animated icon feature may not function normally with Active Desktop Enabled.
- During the installation of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, the icon animation feature is turned off. If you wish to re-enable the animation, you must first disable the Active Desktop feature of Internet Explorer 4.0.
- An update to correct this incompatibility on Aptiva E, C, L or S Series (Model Types: 2137, 2140, 2142, 2159, 2161 and 2162) is available on our Aptiva eSupport Web Site.
2. If you are experiencing problems with Access Aptiva:
- Due to an incompatibility between Access Aptiva and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, Access Aptiva will not function properly.
- During the installation of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, Access Aptiva is removed from the Startup Group. This prevents Access Aptiva from launching automatically when you start your computer. If Access Aptiva is launched manually, it will not function properly.
- An update to correct this incompatibility on Aptiva L or S Series (Model Types: 2140 and 2142) is available on our Aptiva eSupport Web Site.
3. If you are experiencing problems with MPEG Video/Audio:
- After the installation of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, you may notice that while playing an MPEG video, the video portion will be played at approximately half size and the playback will be slow. Also, the audio portion may be slow and/or muffled.
