When you double-click the Microsoft Empowerment Pack alias on the Microsoft Empowerment Pack for the Mac compact disc, you may receive either of the following error messages:
If you have a Power Macintosh
-----------------------------
The application "Internet Explorer 2.0" could not be opened

Your only option with this error message is to click OK.

This program cannot run on this computer.
Your only option is to click Quit.
You may experience either of these problems if your system software is earlier than System 7.5.

this if you are running a version of the System software
earlier than 7.5. Therefore, you must contact Apple Computer,
Inc., in order to obtain System 7.5, or later.
