I don't use LookOut. As for Eudora, what happens if you try to import a
_number_ of Eudora folders as "Unix MBX" files? Eudora in fact uses this
format internally, so there's nothing specific in "Eudora folders";-)

Try downgrading the version of your comctl32... This _might_ help a bit with
this specific problem AFAIK. I've currently got ver. 5.0 myself, and consider
trashing it as time permits. Controls get crazy from time to time, affecting how
Control panel and (especially) some Delphi programs work. (yes, I did
upgrade comctl manually some time ago, those who are using "normal"
Win'95 do not have ver. 5.0)

I dunno what to say;-( Thanks to all the existing (?) Gods, I didn't install w2k;-)

Which means, it's some kind of non-the-bat-only problem. What applications
you installed recently? What sys configurations have you attempted? Maybe
others struggling with w2k could help you?

Nope, uninstalling procedure remains the same.

Good luck to your frying pan;-)))
