INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR 
PAN-EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
=============================

Windows Millennium includes all the support 
provided in the Pan-European Edition of Windows 95 and
the support provided in Windows 98 and Second Edition.  
It provides both program support and document 
support for markets that did not have a localized version 
of Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition.


PROGRAM SUPPORT
===============

Windows Millennium provides support for 
localized programs. For example, you can run 
Russian Microsoft Office 2000 on Microsoft 
Millennium.


DOCUMENT SUPPORT
================

Using Windows Millennium, you can create a multilingual 
document with TrueType fonts in all programs 
that support TrueType fonts. For example, you 
can now create a document in Microsoft Word 2000
for Windows that includes Czech, Russian, Greek, 
and French text.


INSTALLING SUPPORT FOR YOUR COUNTRY
===================================

You can install this version of Windows Millennium
by upgrading from an existing installation 
of Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 98 SE. By default, your
existing settings are detected and maintained. For 
example, when you upgrade from Polish Microsoft 
Windows 95, your default regional settings are 
still in Polish, your default keyboard still 
generates Polish characters, and you run your 
Windows-based programs as you did before.

If you install Windows Millennium on a computer that is 
currently running MS-DOS only, you should specify 
the Language, Country/Region and Keyboard layout 
you want during Setup. The default is English
and the United States. 

>>> To change your regional settings:

1. During Setup, select the Custom option 
   in the Windows Millennium Edition Setup Wizard.
 
2. In the Language dialog box, click on your
   spoken language.  Click Next to continue.

3. In the Country/Region dialog box, click
   on your country.  Click Next to continue.

4. In the Keyboard layout dialog box, click
   on your preferred keyboard.  Click Next
   to continue.

   Setup then installs these Regional Settings
   and keyboard layout values for Windows-based 
   and MS-DOS-based programs. 

   NOTE: Some languages default to the U.S. 
   keyboard that is defined for MS-DOS windows 
   and MS-DOS based programs.


REGIONAL SETTINGS
=================

Windows Millennium defines which Windows and MS-DOS code 
pages and system fonts are installed on your 
computer. You cannot change these settings after 
Setup. 

Regional Settings also defines which international 
settings--such as date, currency, time formats, and 
sort orders for programs your computer will use. 

>>>To change your international settings after Setup:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then 
   click Control Panel.

2. Click on View all Control Panel Options

3. Double-click Regional Settings. 

4. On the Regional Settings tab, select the appropriate 
   Language and Country/Region.

5. To change your number, currency, time and 
   date settings, click the respective tab, and 
   then make your changes.

6. Click OK.

It is recommended that all users, whether 
upgrading over an existing Windows 95, Windows 98,
or Windows 98 SE installation verify that their 
Regional Settings have been detected correctly.


UPGRADING FROM THE PAN-EUROPEAN EDITION 
OF MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95, U.S. EDITION OF WINDOWS 98 or WINDOWS 98SE
===================================================

When you are upgrading from the Pan-European 
Edition of Windows 95, U.S. Edition of Windows 98 or Windows 98SE,
the upgrade is performed automatically, using the current
Regional Settings and Keyboard values.


UPGRADING FROM THE U.S. EDITION OF
MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95/WINDOWS 98/SE
==================================

When you are upgrading from the U.S. Edition 
of Windows 95/98/SE, the Language, Country
and Keyboard screens will appear if the following
two conditions are met: 

1. At least two keyboards installed.
2. Multilanguage Support is installed.

NOTE: If these two conditions are not met, 
these screens does not appear. 
The existing settings are used and upgraded 
automatically.

If the Language, Country/Region and Keyboard screens appear, 
you may select your respective settings and then during
Setup these values are used.


MULTILINGUAL FEATURES IN WINDOWS MILLENNIUM
==================================================

You can use Windows Millennium to create documents 
in many different languages. For example, 
you can create documents in Central European, 
Cyrillic, Baltic-based languages, Greek, or 
Turkish. After Windows Millennium is installed, refer 
to "Multilingual Documents, Creating" in 
Windows online Help for more information.

In Windows Millennium, you can also load multiple 
keyboard layouts in Windows programs. This 
makes it easy to create multilingual documents. 
To switch between keyboards, press the left 
ALT+SHIFT. For more information, refer to 
"Keyboard, layout" in Windows online Help.
