================
ActiveMovie Now Called DirectShow
---------------------------------
Pages 20, 79, 81, and 441: All references to Microsoft ActiveMovie should be to
Microsoft DirectShow.
Page 73: Web Path Incorrect
---------------------------
Page 73, top of page:
Change: "http://www.w3.orgPICS"
To: "http://www.w3.org/PICS/"
Page 158: Outlook Express Will Not Support Faxes
------------------------------------------------
Page 158 states that Outlook Express will send, receive, and organize e- mail,
faxes, and other information. However, Outlook Express does not support faxes.
Correction: Page 158, paragraph 7, sentence 1:
Change: "...organize e-mail, faxes, and other information."
To: "...organize e-mail and other information."
Page 159, bullet 4:
Delete bullet "The Microsoft Fax Driver" and adjoining paragraph.
Page 322: Win32 Driver Model Supports All Audio Types
-----------------------------------------------------
The "WDM digital audio" section of page 322 states, in part: "If you aren't
planning to use USB speakers, this section is probably of no use to you.... The
features mentioned in the following paragraphs are of no relevance to systems
with conventional audio systems installed."
However, the Win32 Driver Model will support all types of audio systems,
including USB, ISA, and PCI. Much of the information in this section is valid
for non-USB systems as well.
Page 322:
- Delete paragraph 6 ("If you aren't planning to use USB speakers...")
- Move the "USB support" section below the "WDM digital audio" section
- Move USB-specific information from the "WDM digital audio" section to the
"USB support" section
Page 350: Incorrect Short Filename Representations
--------------------------------------------------
The list of long filenames on page 350 contains incorrect short filename
representations. All long filenames have a short filename representation ending
with ~1 (or some other number). Below is the correct directory listing:
Volume in drive C is MY HARDDISK
Volume Serial Number is 1E30-830F
