 - The Microsoft Network versions 2.0, 2.5
 - Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0, 3.01, 3.02 for Windows 95
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you do not have an up-to-date Msn.ini file, the following symptoms may
occur:

 - When you connect to MSN, The Microsoft Network, you see the Welcome
   or first-time user experience pages, even though you have signed on to
   MSN previously.

 - New items (such as new shows) are not added to the Program Viewer
   menus as the items become available.

CAUSE
=====

In Microsoft Internet Explorer, the option to check for newer versions is
not set.

RESOLUTION
==========

The Msn.ini file controls how the menus are built in Program Viewer. Set
the option to check for newer versions of Internet pages so that new
Msn.ini files are downloaded when they are available. To do so, follow
these steps:

1. Start Internet Explorer.

2. On the View menu, click Options.

3. Click the Advanced tab.

4. Click the Settings button.

5. Click "Every time you start Internet Explorer" to select it.

6. Click OK until you return to Windows.
