Release Notes

3.1 Supported Web Browsers on the Windows 2000 Operating System

We recommend that you use Microsoft Internet Explorer on Windows 2000.

If you use Netscape, please be aware of the following:

• DB2 online information searches may take a long time to complete on Windows 2000 using Netscape. Netscape will use all available CPU resources and appear to run indefinitely. While the search results may eventually return, we recommend that you change focus by clicking on another window after submitting the search. The search results will then return in a reasonable amount of time.
• You may notice that when you request help it is displayed correctly in a Netscape browser window, however, if you leave the browser window open and request help later from a different part of the Control Center, nothing changes in the browser. If you close the browser window and request help again, the correct help comes up. You may be able to fix this problem by following the steps in 3.4, Error Messages when Attempting to Launch Netscape. You can also get around the problem by closing the browser window before requesting help for the Control Center.
• When you request Control Center help, or a topic from the Information Center, you may get an error message. To fix this, follow the steps in 3.4, Error Messages when Attempting to Launch Netscape.
