E2001 is as developed as it will get. Reminds me of something simiar to this. When I ran one of the recent Entourage v.X updates (maybe it was SR 1), the installer presented a warning dialog, advising me that a certain MS application was running, and that I should quit it before proceeding with the update. I can't remember the exact name that it gave - maybe it was "Office Notifications", or something related to that. There was no application with that name active in the Dock. No Microsoft app was running. Nor was it visible in Process Viewer (of course Process Viewer lists many applications only by the name "LaunchCFMApp"). I fired up Terminal and ran "top" to display processes. Not listed there, either. So there was no readily discernible way to follow the recommendation in that dialog. This is so... Microsoft. I ran the update anyway. So far, my Mac has not exploded. -- Julian Vrieslander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
