I have had a problem with MS Internet Mail in which messages with attachments
were downloaded, but did not appear in the inbox list. I have had several
problems with GPF's in online banking software. Part of the solution in
my case was reverting to the MS mouse driver in Win95. It appears that
there can be a conflict occur in my system if Logitech ver. 7.0 mouse
driver is operating when a program is installed. many of these problems
have resolved themselves after the mouse driver change, and reinstallation
of the affected software.

The following is information I received directly from Qualcomm after a
similar problem. The problem was with the routine that produces the
icon at the foot of the message, replacing the text "Attachment
converted: blah.ext". The fix below allows you to either prevent the
icon from appearing, leaving the "Attachment Converted ...." text, or
download dll's to allow the icon to appear correctly. Both methods
prevent the GPF.
