                          PREMIUM EXEC WITH MICROSOFT EXCEL

    PROBLEM:       During the installation process, the EXECEL.EXE file does not
                   fully copy onto the hard drive.  This results in an incomplete
                   installation of Excel.

    SYMPTOM:       When "double clicking" on the Excel Icon, the following
                   message appears:

                   "System error: Divide by Zero error".

    AFFECTED
    SYSTEMS:       Premium Exec 386SX/25

    SOLUTION:      Customers experiencing this problem should upgrade the BIOS to
                   revision 1.12 or higher.
