The fix to my problem was to remove an earlier version of an addon =
called idioms which allows one to attach a signature and other good =
things. It appears the version I was using was outdated. However, the =
updated version of this program does NOT work with Outlook so I had to =
remove the program entirely via the uninstall instructions that came =
with the program. The program and author are located at the addresses =
below:

1. Run the Office setup, Add/Remove and remove Outlook
2. In Control Panel:Add Software: Windows Setup remove Exchange and/or
Windows Messaging System
3. Reboot to clear out all memory
4. Go and install the one you want.

Now. I understand the confusion, but the newsgroups with "Exchange" in the
name are for the Exchange Server, not the Inbox that came with Win95. As my
have noted (or maybe not) the client in Win95's updates is now called
Windows Messaging System to get around that confusion.

Also finally note that a) Microsoft does not maintain an official presence
in any of these newsgroups b) if you post a question and no one answers,
it's probably because no one know, not because you're being ignored c) you
can always call MS for support, since the WMS belongs to Win95 support and
Outlook belongs to Office and both have a certain amount of free support
dating from the first call made.

This is my THIRD try for an answer. I am NOT the type to leave beligerant
messages, because I believe that adds nothing to the conversation. I have
been patient for over a week trying to get an answer officially from
Microsoft or an expert online, BUT NOONE has stepped up to the plate. If
this is NOT the place to get an answer for the question below, could
SOMEONE point me to a web site or phone number where I may get some
assistance. I have already tried the knowledge base and nothing is there
about the problem I describe below. However, there is a query from another
user in the exchange.misc group that has left a similar plea.

My question is:

I am using Exchange version 4.0  that came off of my Windows 95 CD, and
whenever I click on a message to read it, I get this error message,
"Process Outlook/.EXE File: extprsht.cpp line 212 , thread id
-272331.-432475 FALSE. On this same screen, are the OK and CANCEL buttons.
When I click on OK the message is loaded. This problem was happening BEFORE
I loaded Office 97. What components from the Windows 95 CD can I reinstall
to get Exchange back to its orginal state? Or is this NOT an option since
I've installed Office 97?

I didn't mean pressing enter was the resolution to your problem.  I mean
if you want help, it is in your best interest to do everything you can
to provide the information necessary for others to help you.

If someone reading your post sees a single line in a message that
isn't formatted properly, they're more likely to just move on to the
next message, rather than try to read this one long line.

I also find it absurd you have a Covey quote in your sig, considering
your attitude.  Life is what you make it.  If you interpret someone's
constructive suggestion as "uncalled for", that's your outlook on life.

"This is my THIRD try for an answer. I am NOT the type to leave
beligerant messages, because I believe that adds nothing to the
conversation."

Really.  Then why are you making it?

" I have been patient for over a week trying to get an answer officially
from Microsoft or an expert online, BUT NOONE has stepped up to the
plate. If this is NOT the place to get an answer for the question below,
could SOMEONE point me to a web site or phone number where I may
get some assistance."

Microsoft clearly states:

"Microsoft's Role: Microsoft does not offer any formal support in the
public newsgroups. "

Also, on _any_ MS Support Web Page, clicking the "See the Directory of
Support Options"  button gets you to a listing of phone numbers for
support, both complimentary and priority.  I suggest you use those
in the future as I personally think your chance of getting help here
is remote in the extreme.

All this and the problem wasn't even Exchange - it was due to a
third-party add-on you installed.

In the future, if you  press the "Enter" key before reaching
the end of the line,  other people reading your message may
find it more readable, and thus be able to help you.
