SYMPTOMS
========

When you run the installation program for the online book from the Ebook folder,
the installation program title will be "Running Microsoft Outlook 98," not
"Running Microsoft Windows 98."

The icon created on your desktop will be "Running Microsoft Outlook 98."

In the Add/Remove Programs applet of the Control Panel, the program will appear
as "Running Microsoft Outlook 98."

If you start the electronic book from the "Running Microsoft Outlook 98" icon,
the "Running Microsoft Windows 98" electronic book will appear and run normally.

CAUSE
=====

The title string was incorrectly set in the installation program for the
electronic book.

WORKAROUND
==========

To change the title, follow these steps:

1. Right click "Running Microsoft Outlook 98".

2. Click Rename.

3. Type "Running Microsoft Windows 98" (without the quotation marks) and then
  press ENTER.

To uninstall the program, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Click Add/Remove Programs.

3. In Add/Remove Programs, click to select "Running Microsoft Outlook 98" and
  then click Add/Remove.

STATUS
======

This problem was corrected in the second printing of "Running Microsoft Windows
98."

MORE INFORMATION
================

You can still run the "Running Microsoft Windows 98" electronic book without any
problems. The information on the CD-ROM is for "Running Microsoft Windows 98,"
not for "Running Microsoft Outlook 98." Only the installation program is
incorrect.
