For TB! on your laptop and your PC to be covered by the same licence as long as you don't use both copies at the same time, that was definitely true for v4. It is possible they changed the wording of the licence for version 5. For up-to-date wording, check the licence.txt (or similar name) file you will find in your The Bat! program folder or possibly your The Bat! mail folder - or it may be on the RITlabs website. Either way, you can do it for a 30-day trial at least. -- Best regards MFPAmailto:expires2...@ymail.com A bird in the hand makes it awfully hard to blow your nose Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

There is no Voyager in the list of programs I get with "change program". and ther is no "more options" option for protocols, on Win7, it's available only for file extensions, so I can't search for a program to be associated to mailto URLs. -- Luca - e-mail: p.stevens at libero.it Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations The text on win 8 read "Associate a file type or protocol ..."

Stream write error
I am getting annoying error messages that read as follows: "Stream write error "C:\MAIL\Events.CFG" The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file." The error message appears in a pop up box in The Bat. Clicking "OK" or the "X" will remove the box, but it will pop up again in a few minutes.If I go away from the computer for a long period of time, upon return I will find dozens and dozens of boxes just like, sitting on top of the open window of The Bat. The error messages are sporadic in that they don't always appear in every session of The Bat. If the messages appear on my computer, they will also appear on my wife's computer, which has The Bat, installed, but points to the mail files on my computer. What causes this error message and how do I get rid of this permanently? The error had appeared on an older computer that I still use (but not for The Bat). After transferring The Bat to a newer computer (but still used), the messages didn't appear for many months. However, following a series of Windws upgrades, the messages are back.The only way to temporarily solve the problem is to fully shutdown the computer and then reboot. Sometimes this will work, sometimes it won't. However, even when this works, the problem eventually reappears after a number of days or weeks. How can I fix this? -- Avi Using The Bat!

Dealing with ics files
Hello Tbudl, I was wondering if there is a way for TB to deal with ics files that my company send me for appointments etc. TB calls them Part.txt2. The only work around I have found is to use another email client like Outlook, eMClient etc. and set that to IMAP for that account and leave TB on POP to continue to download normally from the server. I do not connect directly to the company server. They are directed to me on 1and1. Any suggestions appreciated. -- Best regards, David mailto:d...@greenandgrass.co.uk Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Two suggestions. 1. Windows's "remote assistance" feature would quite possibly remote allow you to log-on to your PC from your laptop. Then you could just operate your existing installation of The Bat! as if you were actually sat at your PC. 2.
