The update fixes a problem with the GTE free trial offer. When the GTE free trial offer of 50 hours expires and the user registers for a regular GTE Internet account, the user is unable to use the newly created account. The user is asked to register repeatedly. It appears that the user is not officially registered and the user cannot log on. NOTE: The problem is with the Encompass software and not with the customer's ability to log into the GTE Network. HOW TO USE: 1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files. The number of files to be created and total file size is displayed.
