SUMMARY
=======

When you uninstall Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3) by double-clicking
Update.exe on a computer running Windows NT and Internet Explorer 4.x, a dialog
box appears explaining that the program may not run correctly because Internet
Explorer 4.x is installed. If you click Details in the dialog box, additional
help is then displayed. On French, Swedish, and Italian versions of Windows NT
when you click Details, a blank help window is displayed. On an English version
of Windows NT, you are offered the following help:

  If you reinstall Service Pack 3 for Windows NT Workstation 4.0 or Windows NT
  Server 4.0 after you install Internet Explorer version 4.0, specify, when
  prompted, that you do not want Service Pack 3 to write over any newer files.
  After Service Pack 3 is reinstalled, update the registry:

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.

  2. In OPEN, type:

  regsvr32 rsabase.dll

  3. Click OK.
