SHORT CUT KEYS FOR MACINTOSH
WINDOWS 98 INSTALLATION PROBLEM

SHORT CUT KEYS FOR MACINTOSH
============================

 Due to technical reasons, it was not possible to support Command-X,
 Command-C, and Command-P for cut, copy, and paste in this version.  However,
 the corresponding ctrl keys ctrl-X, ctrl-C, and ctrl-P work throughout the 
 program.  This will be changed in a future version of the product.


WINDOWS 98 INSTALLATION PROBLEM
===============================

 Under Windows 98, Microsoft has a bug in several of their applications which
 launch as soon as your computer starts.  This leads to crashes in Primer 
 Premier as well as many other third party programs.  The affected programs 
 are listed below.  If Primer Premier crashes shortly after installation it 
 is mostly likely due to this bug.  Please follow the procedure below to get 
 the relevant patch from Microsoft:

 1. Close all programs
 2. Open Start>Settings>Windows Update from the toolbar
 3. This will take you to the Windows Update page: 
    http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
 4. Select Download
 5. The program will look at what patches are available for your computer 
    and present you with a long list
 6. The patch you need will be described as follows:

 Microsoft Libraries Update (time) This update resolves an issue that can 
 cause some third party software to behave unexpectedly after the 
 installation of the Microsoft(r) Works Suite 99, 
 Encarta(r) Encyclopedia 99 (U.S. only), Encarta Virtual Globe 99, 
 Studio Greetings 99, and/or other third party software. 

Note:
