Go up one level in this thread



  The problem is caused by the beta version of Internet Explorer 5.0 which
has an updated dll that is not compatible with CM6000. I was informed by
Mindscape this evening that a fix is in the works and should be out next week.
Thanks to all for their interest and help!!
