 Versa LX
 Versa SX
 Versa 6060
 Versa 6220-6260

The following sections provide important information on Windows NT 4.0 and
Service Pack 4 installation on these specified systems.
Versa LX and Versa SX
The following are a few items to consider when installing Service Pack 4 on
your NEC Versa system.
 When installing Service Pack 4, a message, “Service Pack setup has
detected that the AMINT13 driver is or has been present on your system.
It must be disabled for your system to function properly with Service
Pack 4. If you do not disable the driver, your system may not boot.
Would you like to disable the driver? Yes No.” Select “Yes.”
Note:
The AMINT13 driver creates a Save-to-File file
for power management. You must run HDPREP from the
Applications and Drivers CD prior to installing Service Pack
4 in order to use power management Save-to-File. Then
install Service Pack 4 and answer “Yes” to disable
AMINT13.
Note:
If the system is already using Save-to-File with
Service Pack 3, it must be run again prior to installing
Service Pack 4.

2Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 Important Information
 Do not replace the PCMCIA.SYS file when prompted during the
installation of Service Pack 4. Answer “NO” to the prompt to replace the
file with Service Pack 4’s version. Replacing the file disables the
CardWizard utility’s detection of inserted PC cards.
 Previous versions of SystemSoft’s CardWizard and PowerProfiler
utilities caused systems to halt after the installation of Windows NT
service packs. Current versions of CardWizard and PowerProfiler that
ship with the NEC Versa LX and SX work properly. Service Pack 4
upgrades a portion of PowerProfiler. The PowerProfiler should be
updated to version 2.30.04 (contact SystemSoft at www.systemsoft.com
for compatible versions).
If you reinstall PowerProfiler from the Applications and Drivers CD (an
older version of PowerProfiler) after Service Pack 4 has been installed,
system problems may occur.
 When starting Windows NT for the first time after Service Pack 4 is
installed, the following message appears:
“To resolve known Windows NT 4.0 Year 2000 issues you must install
the following versions or greater of the programs listed below:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1
Microsoft Data Access Components 2.0 Service Pack 1.”
Run the Y2KSETUP program on the Service Pack 4 CD to upgrade these
two applications on your system.
 PowerQuest acknowledges problems with Service Pack 4 under NTFS
and possibly FAT32. For best performance, upgrade to Partition Magic
4.0 and run it under Windows NT. Version 3.05 ships on the Applications
and Drivers CD.
 Internet Explorer 4.0 ships on the Applications and Drivers CD. Internet
Explorer 4.01 is on Service Pack 4. Use Internet Explorer 4.01.
Versa 6060 and Versa 6220-6260
The following are a few items to consider when installing Service Pack 4 on
your NEC Versa system.
 When installing Service Pack 4, the following message appears:
“Service Pack Setup has detected that third party system utilities (such as
Power Management or PC card utilities) have been or are currently
installed on your computer. These versions may not be compatible with
this service pack. Before continuing with service pack setup, please refer
to the readme.txt file for special installation instructions. Do not attempt
to reinstall older versions of these third party system utilities. If you
reinstall these utilities, the new versions must be fully compatible with
this service pack. Reinstalling older versions of these utilities will result
in your computer becoming unusable. Select yes to continue or exit?”
