SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP) after you upgrade to Windows 98, you may receive either of the following error messages:
  • Dial-in driver not loaded
  • PCTCPAPI083: 4.10 PC/TCP kernel and VxD not loaded. Your application would be adversely affected. DLL initialization failed.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you upgrade Microsoft Windows 3.1x or Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1x to Windows 98. Windows 3.1x and Windows for Workgroups 3.1x are 16-bit operating systems. Windows 98 Setup cannot migrate Internet Explorer settings and ISP connections from a 16-bit operating system.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, run the Internet Connection Wizard (ICW) to create a new ISP connection. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point Internet Explorer, click Connection Wizard, and then follow the instruction on your screen.
