| How can I make the
Lotus Notes Web client work in Microsoft Internet
Explorer (IE)? |
Just as Microsoft Exchange has the Outlook Web Access
(OWA) interface, Lotus Notes offers a Web-based email
client that uses Java for many of its features. However,
if you try to use the Lotus Notes Web client under IE,
the menus might not load, which can prevent you from
traversing messages and performing required actions.
The problem is caused when you've configured IE to use
the Sun Microsystems Java Virtual Machine (JVM). An
incompatibility exists between the Sun JVM and the Lotus
Notes Web client Java applets. However, you can use
any version of the Microsoft JVM. To determine whether
you're using the Sun JVM and to resolve the problem,
perform the following steps:
- Start IE.
- From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Scroll down to see whether you have a Java (Sun)
section. If you have the section, clear the "Use Java
2 v<java version> for <applet> (requires
restart)" check box.
- Click OK to close the dialog box, then close IE.
- Restart IE.
You should now be able to use the Lotus Notes Web client.
How do I enable compatibility
mode with Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 and later?
|
Win2K machines with Service Pack 2 (SP2)
or later include a compatibility mode that lets programs
run as if they were on a Windows NT 4.0 SP5 or Windows
95 box. To enable this interface, perform the following
steps:
- Start a Run box (Start, Run).
- Enter the following command:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll
- Click OK.
- Click OK to the confirmation.
If you right-click a shortcut and select Properties,
you'll see a Compatibility tab that lets you select
whether the program target should run under an NT
4.0 SP5 or Win95 compatibility layer.
With Windows XP, the compatibility option is located
on the General tab in its own compatibility section.
In what order should
I install OSs if I want to multiboot?
|
The rule is to install the oldest OS first and work
forward. For example, if you want to install DOS,
Windows Me, and Windows 2000, you should install them
in that order. Below, I've listed the requirements
for each OS when you plan a multiboot environment.
- MS-DOS-Requires a FAT partition on a basic disk,
and if you don't install DOS on the system partition,
the system partition must also be FAT.
- Windows 95-Requires a FAT partition on a basic
disk, and if you don't install Win95 on the system
partition, the system partition must also be FAT.
Windows XP and Win2K won't be able to see any volumes
compressed with DriveSpace or DoubleSpace.
- Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95 OEM Service
Release 2 (OSR2)-Requires a FAT/FAT32 partition
on a basic disk, and if you don't install the OS
on the system partition, the system partition must
also be FAT/FAT32. Windows XP and Win2K won't be
able to see any volumes compressed with DriveSpace
or DoubleSpace.
- Windows NT 4.0-Requires a FAT/NTFS partition on
a basic disk, and if you don't install NT 4.0 on
the system partition, the system partition must
not be FAT32 or NTFS 5.0 (NTFS5). Any NTFS-formatted
volumes won't be available to any Windows Me or
Win9x OSs.
- XP, Win2K-Requires a FAT/FAT32/NTFS or NTFS5 partition
on a basic or dynamic disk. Any NTFS-formatted volumes
won't available to any Windows Me or Win9x OSs.
Any NTFS5-formatted volumes will be available to
NT 4.0 machines only if you've installed Service
Pack 4 (SP4).
