there seems to be a lot of little problems with windows user--in general it works fine and is an improvement in that several bugs and glitches have been eliminated but there seems to be stuff that seems to be isolated, but that I don't know the origin of, particularly with winows 95 ysers
1) one user receives incoming mail, and appears to send outgoing mail just fine--only the outgoing mail never gets delivered--not internet and not local. What would cause this? (IBM)
2) another user--this problem has persisted through all windows updates since last October and I think he is getting quite frustrated with me--receives mail just fine, and his outgoing mail reaches his addressees--but the body of the text is empty--the "to" field is OK--the "subject" field is OK--but the place where he puts the message is empty (micron)
3) a third user has font problems--all the telefinder windows open up with fonts that look like Zapf Dingbats--asterisks stars and arrows--other applications run OK but telefinder does not (the menus are OK but all the text in the sign on window as well as in the field contained in that window ) is screwed up (acer)
4) still another user has (as noted a couple of posts earlier) a problem with the new installer crashing under windows 3.1--I have subsequently found out that they have a 286 machine (they think--eeek) with 640 Mb + 1Mb extended memory--is this the problem? Is there an old version of TFUSR that might fit (I seem to have disposed of all of mine)
I wish I had the windows expertise to recognize the pathologies for the stuff I have mentioned here--but I don't--so if there is anyone who could help, I'd appreciate it.
