TROUBLESHOOTING
----------------

Add Favorites & the IE4 INSTALLATION PROBLEM
--------------------------------------------

If you have IE4 installed and the 'Add Favorite' item in the Favorites menu does not do
anything or gives you an error, there are a number of ways to fix this problem.

You can install the latest service pack (currently SP2) for IE4 or install IE5. Or you can perform
the following patch:-

Go to the directory where you installed GrassHopper and unzip the ShellUIHelper.zip.
Right click on the extracted file ShellUIHelper.reg and select Edit. Change the line below,
if necessary, which defines your Windows system directory.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{64AB4BB7-111E-11d1-8F79-00C04FC2FBE1}\InProcServer32]
@="C:\\Windows\\System\\SHDOCVW.DLL"      <---- Change this line
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

Save the change and then double-click on the file from Windows Explorer.

NOTE: PERFORMING THE ABOVE PROCEDURE INCORRECTLY CAN DAMAGE YOUR REGISTRY. ONLY PERFORM
THIS OPERATION IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

This problem is due to a bug in the installation of IE4, not in GrassHopper.

Note that you can always add a page to your Favorites by right-clicking in the broswer window
and slecting 'Add to Favorites' from the pop-up menu.
