The following lines from the web page

"Use at your own risk..."

and

"The file has not been thoroughly tested, and you're on your own. "

I guess don't mean a thing. With files deing dependent upon other files, and
something goes wrong later, I'm pretty sure people won't bother to wonder if
that has anything to do with it and then moan and graon because OE is having
problems that no one can solve.

If the banner ad was huge or something, I could see everyone wanting to
remove it, but it's small and they see more ads on web sites than they ever
do on the bar at the bottom and it's only in Hotmail section of OE.

So, makes you wonder what replacing the file will do to the rest of OE a
little bit.......doesn't it?

There are some who have posted that this "fix" has disabled them from
accessing mail completely.

But, what can you tell them that? It was on a web page, it has to be the
truth. Everybody knows that stuff on the web is a true. Why all those
e-mails being forwarded about some little kid just wanting to get some
e-mail because htey have cancer or something and then give a bogus address
that wasn't even the Red Cross and the doctor didn't exist. The spam that
has the so called law about how it's legal to send it because they put a
reply to or remove address (that's 99.9% fake) was what, a law on the
Disablities Act or something? Why it's got to be true, we saw it on the web.
I won't mention how close it is to the National Enquirer........

They don't seem to understand that the file is probably used by something
else, and mixing an old verion of a file with a newer version of a program,
why that should be okay..........NOT!!!.

We ran thru this awhile back with one guy. He changed the file. He started
posting problems after that. Sandi, I think it was, asked if he had changed
the file. I don't think he replied back for some reason or another.
Emarrassed that he made such a big deal out of the ad box, then changed it,
and started having problems when he had no problems before that?

Hey, if that's the case, why not get a copy of the win.com from Win98SE and
just copy it into where your Windows 3.1 was and see how good that one
works...... Do it for all the programs and see what happens. After they
format and reinstall everything maybe they'll think twice.....

The two lines on the web page I mentioned, now that sounds like it's a 100%
deal and you can bet the bank on it working... Yeah right, would be easier
to just throw their money in the garbage.

sorry, I stand corrected. I forgot it was on a Web Page.

God made people.

God is truth.

People made Web Pages.

therefore:

Web pages are truth.

(AOLogic).

<VBG>

Besides, if the dll is changed, shouldn't they have changed the name?

Reminds me of a prof several years ago who couldn't get his Leading Edge to
work. Well first he brought it in to me, but only brought in the processor
box and no keyboard, monitor, power cord or nothing. I sent him back home.
Then found out that he had installed Compaq DOS on the LE computer. Hey!
Its DOS isn't it? Its a computer, isn't it? His hard drive (not
surprisingly) got trashed later and I spent some time with Norton Utils
trying to put it back together again. I started and then showed him how to
put the 28,000 sectors back together again one by one. He put a student on
it. <G>
