SUMMARY

This article contains comments, corrections, and information on known errors relating to the Microsoft Press book "PC 97 Hardware Design Guide."

The following topic is covered:
  • CD-ROM index.htm contents frame is broken

MORE INFORMATION

CD-ROM Index.htm Contents Frame Is Broken

The Index.htm file on the companion CD-ROM for this book does not show a list of CD-ROM contents along the left edge of the HTML page.

The missing table of contents is caused by incorrectly interpreted HTML code in the Index.htm. Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.01 is affected by this issue. Other Web browsers might be similarly affected.

Correction:

Microsoft Press has created a correction CD-ROM to address this issue. The original CD-ROM has already been replaced in most of the first printing of this book, and is available to customers as a replacement CD-ROM.

In the United States, a correction CD-ROM can be ordered free of charge by calling the Microsoft Order Desk at (800) 360-7561 and requesting part number 097-0001603. Outside the United States, please contact your local Microsoft Press distributor for replacement CD-ROM information. A list of international Microsoft Press distributors can be found on the Microsoft Press Web site at this address:

If you have any problems obtaining the correction CD-ROM, please e-mail

WORKAROUND

Without the corrected CD-ROM, the only workaround is to copy the TOC subfolder and all files in the root directory of the CD-ROM to a folder on a hard disk. This set of files is less than 2.5 MB.

To copy the CD-ROM, use the following steps:

Copy the root directory files and the TOC subfolder:
  1. Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
  2. Place the "PC 97 Hardware Design Guide" companion compact disc in the CD-ROM drive.
  3. In the all folders pane, double-click the CD-ROM drive icon (typically drive D). You may need to scroll down the all folders pane to view the CD-ROM drive icon.
  4. On the Edit menu, click Select All to select all of the files and folders in the contents pane.
  5. Press and hold the CTRL key and click the IE30 folder icon at the top of the list in the contents pane. This will cancel the selection of the IE30 folder.
  6. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
Paste copied files to a new hard disk folder:
  1. In the all folders pane, click the icon of the hard disk that you want to copy the files to (typically drive C).
  2. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Folder. A New Folder box will appear in the contents pane.
  3. Type PC97_HDG and press ENTER to name the new folder.
  4. Double-click the PC97_HDG folder in the contents pane.
  5. On the Edit menu, click Paste to paste all the files that you copied from the compact disc.
After you paste the CD-ROM files to your hard disk using the copy and paste procedures, you can view the online Hardware Design Guide using Windows Explorer. To do this, double-click the Index.htm file that is now located in the C:\PC97_HDG folder.
