1.62i will not run with my 1.53d mail database
People, I just tried to upgrade from 1.53d to 1.62i on a Win2k pro w/s machine. My Mail database folder is directly under 'My Documents'. It contains about 2k messages, almost all in one account. I did the over-install as suggested on the download page. Here's what happened. Initial install of 1.62i over 1.53d: - setup ends, TheBat! tries to run, shows the logo for about a minute and then quits. Save HKCU\Software\RIT to a .reg file then scrub and re-install from scratch: - ran OK but with empty mail database folder in the default location. In Options, change the mail database folder to ...My Documents\BatMail\: - back to the show-logo-hang-and-quit behaviour Restore *only* the software registration string from the saved .reg file (in case there's some limit to how much mail the unreg'd TheBat! will happily look at) - still shows logo, hangs, quits. Scrub 1.62i, reinstall 1.53d, quit when Setup starts asking questions about TCP/IP setup, restore HKCU\Software\RIT from the .reg file - 1.53d works as it always did. Has anybody else experienced the same? Is there a secret debug switch on the command line that'll tell me what 1.62i is doing for the minute it's alive?

Re: Conection Centre hangups
Ok - I've double checked it now with no anti-virus running or firewalls or anything such, just the bat, and it hangs in the middle of either getting the number of message, or getting the first or second messages, for about 3 minutes every time. Nothing to do with anti-viruses zone alarm or any of these things. Plain old dial-up connection here, nothing fancy in my setup really. Checking mail on one account only. Any point in trying the beta version to see if it disappears ? All the best, Aidan. I am having this issue daily... usually when I leave the Bat open for a few hours or so... and it seems to be just checking email, not downloading anything... I would agree that it might be a winsock issue also as when the connection centre locks up, I have trouble getting to everyday websites (like google) and only rebooting seems to fix it (ipconfig/renew gets an error) Got to love freak bugs!!

The Bat Plug-in Settings With Kaspersky
Hi All, In setting up The Bat's virus protection plug-in with Kaspersky, I wondered which setting is the most recommended (for how the plug-in handles a virus when it is detected): 1. Move to the Quarantine folder 2. Remove infected parts 3. Delete the message For those that use this plug-in, which setting do you find is the most effective?

Is it always the same account? I get the same problem once in a while(a few times a week) with 2(out of 4) of my accounts. Those 2 accounts are with separate mail servers(one with Hotmail and the other with my ISP), and they do get busy and have a lot of users, and the slow down is usually during peak time. And, the Hotmail account is not accessed via The Bat!, but via Outlook Express and the mail filtering is done via MailWasher. When the connection to the mailserver is slow via MailWasher, it usually is slow with TB. Sometimes it timeouts. Any point in trying the beta version to see if it disappears ? I don't think it would disappear. -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior System Engineer ACCRA Group Inc. (www.accra.ca) ACCRA Med Software Inc.

For those that use this plug-in, which setting do you find is the most K effective? Kim, there is an option for Kaspersky AV to notify you that it has found a virus, and then you have the options you listed, to Quarantine, Remove the Infected Parts, or Delete. So you can make a decision on individual messages that Kaspersky finds infected, according to your judgment at the time. This is how I have mine configured, but so far I have chosen to delete the message, the few times I've been notified that I was downloading an infected message. Those times were bad judgment calls that I made when I looked at the list of mails on the server--for instance, I had just seen a warning about So Big on Rootsweb's Virus Discussion List and if I had been paying attention to the message size I could have deleted it on the server. It will depend on how likely you are to need what's in a message, I think. Some people would prefer to quarantine rather than delete. Just my 2 cents worth. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I haven't seen a macro virus in a WORD doc in quite a while, those were the files or docs I would have wanted to keep. Even if the email is from someone you know, more than likely the email will be a virus that the person did not intentionally send to you, so it isn't worth opening or saving... just my penny and a half:) -- Paul Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/5 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
