New Install Crashes
Hi I've just copied my old TheBat! v1.?? files to a new PC (the old one's toast!). I get as far as specifying the network config and the program crashes - no error messages, it just isn't there anymore. When I try and run it again, it crashes immediately. Since the files could have been corrupt, I downloaded v1.62 off the web site and installed it in a new folder - same result. I did the same with V2 and got almost identical results, the only difference was that this time it offered to tell Microsoft about it! Everything else is working OK - any ideas?

Re: New Install Crashes
Hi Gerard Is there any error code? No - nothing at all, but it might be worth me checking the system log now that I think about it. That'll have to wait 'til I get home. When you say I get as far as specifying the network config.. does that mean you only get to enter de config data or are you trying to contact to your mail server. It's the first startup screen, where you specify whether TheBat's configured as a workstation etc. I don't get as far as specifying account details. I should have mentioned that the OS is XP Pro - I'm not sure which SP.

But the next folder with unread mail is not necessarily so close. Fast search is not of much help there since it works on the first letter only. I'm not sure how Fast Search helps, but it looks for any occurrence of the search string, not just the first letter. -- Cheers Ian G. -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Re: Grunge
Sorry folks, I didn't notice that TB! had decided that my e-mail address is this list rather than my "real" address. But since I'm here, has anyone noticed a problem with deleting threads using ctrl shift del?

That's why I put "misspelled" in quotes; I was referring to strings such as (in this case) foreign words that the spell checker is going to flag, but which are nonetheless valid in the context of the message. TB! is smart enough to remove properly formed sigs so the recognition is there. What constitutes a "properly formed sig"? The spell checker doesn't take any notice of the "-- " delimiter. -- Cheers Ian G. -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, click below and send the generated message. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --

I use English signatures and cookies with my regular (German) mail, but I use the German dictionary, of course. Now I don't want to add all the cookies to this dictionary - this wouldn't make any sense. Ah! Point taken! The editor "TextPad" has a feature that allows you to use .tlx and .clx files to create multilingual spell checkers. Maybe that would be another option? -- Cheers Ian G. -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, click below and send the generated message. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --
