I upgraded from Office 97 to Office 2000 successfully - eveything worked. A couple of weeks later, I loaded some kind of "demo CD" from the "American Mfg Assoc" (?) which purported to offer looks at all kinds of manufacturing packages.<br>
The CD was loading for over an hour throwing software and DLL's all over the place before I finally cancelled it.<br>
It loaded MS Peer to Peer Web Services & tons of "stuff".<br>
I can no longer access my Email from my phone connection but it works fine when I am in the office hooked up locally.<br>
When I try to open a piece of mail...it will lock up for 15 - 20 minutes and then issue a Message Box "Problem with network - cannot contact MS Exchange Server.<br>
The only way out is to blow away Outlook via Task Manager.<br>
I reloaded Office 2000 twice(!)<br>
Same problem.<br>
Note that I do use synchronized folders.<br>
Any ideas how to get remote Email working again?<br>
PS: Wiping my laptop and starting over is not really an option...tons of custom stuff, software setups, etc.
 
Re-Install SP4 or SP5, This will fix what the DEMO CD messed up.<br>

 
Re-install DUN 1.3 & wsockapi.dll<br>
that should take care of any problems that remain (unless you need to re-install your ISPs software too. <p>-Robherc<br><a href=mailto:robherc@netzero.net>robherc@netzero.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>*nix installation & program collector/reseller.
