related to a temporary directory that can't be found. But the
lack of error messages makes troubleshooting difficult.

Is this your Win98SE box ??

Nope, on the Win2000 day-to-day computer. I fixed the temporary
directory path problem today by changing the environment setting to
something else, then changing it back to what it should be.


By the way... the reason that this was on my mind, was that a friend
just brough me his old Win98 PC which crashed on his after these
latest updates from Microsoft, and he was using the freeware version
of ZoneAlarm.... no frills at all. So, I get to bring back to life another
PC that I'm very familiar with, over the next couple of days. I'll let
you know if I find anything obvious.
