Microsoft XP multiple users
Versions of Propel Accelerator prior to 4.3 will only work with
XP Administrator accounts. Restricted or limited users need
to disable Propel Accelerator to surf. Version 4.3 or later
of Propel Accelerator will accelerate restricted or limited
users.
Browser Configuration
As part of the acceleration process, Propel Accelerator uses
a "proxy server" on your computer. A proxy server
is a local program that manages Web traffic in your browser.
The proxy server is configured in your browser. If the proxy
setting is not configured correctly in your browser you may
receive Page Not Found error.
