I had a similar problem that started when I
upgraded from my old (Netcom) "NetComplete" software to the Mindspring software,
except that the Illegal Sumout occurred (nearly) 100% of the time. I use
the same work-around you do, namely to stop Prime95 before starting the
Mindspring software. On my system, I sometimes get a small white box,
about 1/8-inch square, at the upper left corner of my screen at about the same
time as the Sumout. When I position the mouse over the Connect button and
leave it there for a few seconds, an explanatory "box" appears near the mouse
pointer. When the box disappears, the white box in the corner of my screen
appears. I don't remember now whether the Illegal sumout occurs at this
same time, or if it occurs during dial-up. Perhaps the problem is with the
Mindspring software?

From: "Allan G. Schrum/Theresa C. Schrum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mersenne: Modem Dun causing Illegal Sumouts? Hi Folks, I recently upgraded my Win98 HP PIII 533 machine to use Microsoft's DUN with the 128 bit encryption (the latest available from Microsoft). Now, fairly reliably, whenever I start the modem to make a connection to my ISP, I get an Illegal Sumout error on prime95. If I stop prime95, start my modem, then continue, everything works fine. But 1 out of 3 times, if I let prime95 run while starting my modem, I get the sumout error. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone have any links with Microsoft to research/report this problem? Thanks, - -Allan |
