Hi, I am having trouble with Outlook 98 on win4lin 2.0. It seems to be related to interactions with Internet Explorer 5.5. Symptoms: Outlook seems to run fine until I start up IE 5.5. Then the next time Outlook tries to download new mail from a pop server, it hangs up. The mail delivery process never completes. If I exit Outlook, it fails to completely exit and has to be killed via the "close program" dialog. Then if I start up Outlook again, it fails to run with a GPF in winsock.dll. (winsock.dll points to /opt/win4lin/mwin95/winsock.dll). Details of my setup: RH 6.2 with patched 2.2.16-3 kernel. Windows 95 (OSR2) loaded into win4lin from native Win 95 partition (per win4lin 2.0 release notes). Office 97 installed followed by upgrade to Outlook 98 from CD. IE 5.5 then installed from downloaded files. Critical updates applied from Microsoft via IE windows update function. Since my main reason for buying win4lin was to run Outlook and IE (and sometimes Office), this problem is rather a major one. For awhile I was running a similar set of programs on win4lin 2.0 with Windows 98 SE without these problems, but I would much rather use Windows 95 since the performance is much better on my fairly slow laptop. 98SE was pretty sluggish at times. Win 95 is a lot snappier (if I can manage to get the programs I want to run reliably!). I've tried fixWindowsSymlinks and had IE repair itself via it's setup program, to make sure that there wasn't something installed incorrectly in IE, but these actions haven't helped. Any ideas what to try next? Scott _______________________________________________ Win4Lin-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.netraverse.com/mailman/listinfo/win4lin-users
