                            Installation Notes



Hello and welcome to PowWow, the Internet Personal Communicator!

To install the PowWow software on your computer, run the INSTALL.EXE
program.

PowWow Version 3.73 has been released to provide support for running
PowWow on a private network ("intranet") with little or no access to
the public Internet.  For more information on PowWow for Private Networks,
visit our web site at <http://www.tribal.com/pwpn/>.  Additionally,
several changes have been made to improve usability.

For more information, please refer to the WHATSNEW.TXT and HISTORY.TXT
files in your PowWow directory.


Note to Windows 95 and NT 4.0 (pre-SP4) users:

PowWow uses the 32-bit Common Controls library to create many of the
dialog boxes and windows you see. If you have an older version of the
COMCTL32.DLL file PowWow may not be able to draw these
correctly and will cause a General Protection Fault as a result.

In order to use PowWow, you must have Version 4.70 or later of the
COMCTL32.DLL file. Version 4.70 of the COMCTL32.DLL file is
dated August 8, 1996, 8:30PM with a size of 310,544 bytes.

For Windows 95 users, if you have an older version, you need to install
the latest version of the COMCTL32.DLL file. It is available for download
from Microsoft's FTP site at:

  ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/COM32UPD.EXE

After you have downloaded the file, run it by double-clicking on the
COMCTL32.EXE file. If you are unsure of where the file is on your
computer, use the Find Files applet from the Start Menu to locate it.


For Windows NT user, you can download the latest Service Pack from
Microsoft's FTP site at:

  ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/

Go to the appropriate subdirectory for your country, for example,
"usa" for the United States, and follow the path to the Service Pack
subdirectory.  You may wish to install any Hot Fixes available, as
well.

Be sure to reboot your computer after installing any fixes for the
changes to take effect.

If you have any difficulties installing PowWow you can send email to
