I think the problem is with IMail and other factors. I did the upgrade with no
problem except the fact my database would not upgrade. Then I had a web mail problem.
I did an unistall and reinstalled and it was fine except for the database. I don't
think they put much into researching everything that might go wrong with an upgrades
on various platforms. Fresh installs seem to work fine. Upgrade paths seem to have
problems. Sounds like Microsoft and windows 2000
