    I know that CS V3 contains Internet Explorer V3. What does the 
    installation do if IE V3 already exists on the PC? Does it overwrite 
    everything, or just hook into it, or ???

It overwrites it.  But you can prevent it from doing so by clicking that you
"don't agree" to the IE license.

    Thanks Steve,
    
    I now know that if my version of IE (from MS) is a later version than 
    the CompuServe version, I need to install the CS version first. 
    
    Martin.

    That sounds simple. But are the links still in place. [by links, I mean
    does CS V3 look for IE, or the browser that was/is already in place
    (Mosaic?), or nothing at all!]
    
    Martin.

    If you don't install IE3 when CS V3 installs, IE3 does not seem to work
    properly with CS3 - it doesn't embed itself as an object in the CS3
    windows.

    That's what I feared. So, what does one do if IE V3.? is installed
    and CS comes along and installs a 'lower' version?
    
    Martin.

The way it seems to work for me is that if you've installed CS3 with IE
once, you can install later versions and decline the IE installation.  I'll
ask about this, though.  I do note that if you let CS3 install IE, you lose
mail/news through IE.

CS 3.0.2 is coming out soon, and it includes the latest IE - but not the
mail/news addins.

The CS3 support people tell me that as long as you have IE3.01 (build 1215)
or later, you can "decline" the MSIE license agreement and everything will
continue to work fine.

				Steve

I've heard further that even if you do let CS3 install MSIE, it doesn't
disturb anything, though I'm not entirely convinced of that.

					Steve

    Re: .58 Not correct. I declined the installation but IE did not embed
    itself inside CS3. I had to allow IE to install before that worked.
    
    Pete

    Do I understand that if a higher version of IE already exists, then
    one should install CS3, then reinstall IE?
    
    Martin.

I think that once you have installed CS3 with MSIE once, you can decline
future MSIE installations.  So if you haven't installed it before, install
with MSIE and then reinstall your later MSIE version.  CS3.0.2 will be
shipping soon and it includes the latest MSIE build (1215).

    I installed an update to V3 and I must say that generally speaking,
    things "work" now.  It seems to have solved at least two of my
    problems:
    
    	1) Send/receive all mail now seems to work
    	2) I haven't got any hangs during log since I installed the
    	   update a few weeks ago.
    
    However, I would still say DO NOT INSTALL V3 unless you're using
    CSERVE to cruise the internet (more than just mail and forums) because
    it still is SIGNIFICANTLY and AGGRAVATINGLY slower than V2.
    
    I would DEFINITELY go back to V2 if there was a way to do that doesn't
    lose all the mail I've processed since installing V3 (there isn't).

I still say that anyone who uses mail and forums heavily on CompuServe should
be using an off-line navigator such as NavCIS PRO.  It makes your work SO
much more efficient and effortless.

					Steve

    I can't find a way of telling v3 to use the Digital internal Internet
    and the compuserve gateway.Anyone done this?
    
    Greg

    A guess, but I think you'd have to edit the properties in the dial-up
    icon rather than anything from CSi V3 itself.
    
    It's probably under something like "connection type".
