Hi Reggie -
Unfortunately, the vast majority of my network is running Windows 2000 or XP. I think there's one PC that is running Windows 98 and there's not a reason for that use to have an instant messenger application installed. Some ideas that come to mind to possibly help your situation are:
- are the PC's that lock up identical in every way? The Win98 PC's that don't lock up - is there anything special about them?
- I've encountered no application conflicts, but you might have to try installing one application at a time to see how it handles things.
- Are the systems running out of memory? I know that Win98 doesn't really have a lot in terms of process management, but perhaps you could try Process Explorer from SysInternals?
- Are you on the latest and greatest version of IPswitch IM?
You might want to check with IPswitch technical support if you haven't already. This user list has been rather quiet as of late.
Good luck!

I have a very unique problem. I am running IPSwitch in a mixed environement
of XP, 2000, NT, and Win 98. IM runs fine, even on the majority of WIn 98
machines. Only problem is that the client will lock up on 4 machines, all
Windows 98. The first one i ended up eventually re-imaging, but I am hoping
to avoid that with the others as this is very time consuming due to the
varied applicatons the users have on their individual machines.
What happens when they logon is this. It accepts the login but when it
displays the message about how long the the messages are stored on server
the machine locks up. The only was to close after this is to CTRL+ALT+DEL.
The interesting thing is that the user will actuallt get logged onto the
server but is unable to send messages or generally do anything with IM. I
have scoured the web and it seems that this a unique problem. Anyone have
any ideas or know of any applications that have been known to interfere with
the client starting normally? Any help on this issue would be greatly
appreciated.
