1.0 Introduction

2.0 Installation Instructions for the Windows NT U.S. Service Pack

    A: or B:) and type UPDATE.

Installing the Service Pack from a CD-ROM: 1. Insert the Service Pack CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive. 2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that CD-ROM drive, then

    change to the i386, MIPS, or ALPHA directory (depending upon whether
    you have an Intel(TM), MIPS(R), or ALPHA AXP(TM) CPU), and type UPDATE.

Installing the Service Pack from a network drive: 1. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, type the command to connect to the

    network drive on which the Service Pack files reside.

2.1 User Notes

If it is necessary to use the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk to repair your Windows NT system at some time after you apply the Service Pack, you will need to re-apply the Service Pack after the repair is completed. This is because the Emergency Repair Disk repairs your system by restoring your original Windows NT setup. After the repair has completed, simply follow the above Installation Instructions to reapply the Service Pack.

*** Adding New Components to the System

If new software or hardware components are changed or added to your system after you have applied the Service Pack, it will be necessary to reapply the Service Pack. This is because the files taken from the original Windows NT disk set may not be equivalent to the files on the Service Pack disk set.

It is not possible to install new components directly from the Service Pack media (such as a new keyboard or printer driver). New components must be installed from the original product media.

*** Installing Symbol Files from the CD-ROM

To install the symbol files corresponding to the new binaries in Service Pack 3, do the following (assuming your CD-ROM drive is D:, your symbol files are located in the C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS directory, and you are installing the files for an x86 machine):

    XCOPY /S /U /D D:\SUPPORT\DEBUG\I386\SYMBOLS C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS

*** Remote Access Service (RAS)

Several fixes were made to Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS) that are included in this Service Pack. Following is background information on client compatibility with RAS.

NOTE: If you don't already have RAS installed, install it from your original Windows NT setup media before applying the Service Pack.

RAS Software Compression Compatibility with WFW 3.11 And Windows NT 3.1

In addition to other fixes, the Service Pack installs files that make Windows NT 3.5 software compression compatible with Windows for Workgroups (WFW) 3.11 and Windows NT 3.1. Throughput should improve significantly unless previously compressed files are copied. For best performance Microsoft suggests you configure the RAS client software on WFW 3.11, Windows NT 3.1, and Windows NT 3.50 as follows:

1. In Remote Access, make sure the Disable Software Compression option in the Options menu is clear (not checked).

2. Choose Edit, choose Modem, and select the following:

       - Enable Hardware Flow Control
       - Enable Modem Error Control
   

   Clear the Enable Modem Compression check box so software compression and modem compression are not used at the same time (as this reduces throughput).

If you install the Service Pack on a Windows NT 3.5 RAS server, unmodified Windows NT 3.5 RAS clients do not lose software compression compatibility when calling the RAS server. WFW 3.11 and Windows NT 3.1 RAS clients can use RAS software compression without any need for new files, except as noted below.

All copies of Windows NT 3.5 have RAS software compression built-in. Only Windows NT 3.5 computers that are acting as RAS servers need the Service Pack for compression compatibility with Windows NT 3.1 and WFW 3.11 RAS clients. However, because of several code improvements, Microsoft recommends that you also apply this patch to Windows NT 3.5 RAS clients. The patch is required for RAS software compression compatibility when you call a Windows NT 3.1 or WFW 3.11 RAS server from a Windows NT 3.5 RAS client.

Software Compression in WFW 3.11 and Windows NT 3.1 RAS Clients

Software compression is available by default on these RAS clients unless you set the Disable Software Compression option in the Options menu or you purchased your copy of WFW 3.11 or Windows NT 3.1 after February 1994. You can tell whether you have RAS software compression or not by using the following information:

Windows for Workgroups 3.11:

   File name    Bytes   Compression
   ----------   -----   -----------
   RASMAC.386   49209   YES
   RASMAC.386   27193   NO

   File name      Bytes    Compression
   ------------   -----    -----------
   ASYNCMAC.SYS   53188    YES
   ASYNCMAC.SYS   53716    YES
   ASYNCMAC.SYS   33732    NO
