SYMPTOMS

In Lotus cc:Mail, you may receive a general protect fault error message when you start cc:Mail after you set up Microsoft Office for Windows 95. If you click Details, the message states that an execution error occurred in Ccmail.exe, and cc:Mail is closed.

CAUSE

This problem has been reported to occur when a customer installs Office 7.0, clicks Yes when prompted to connect to cc:Mail from the Send command in Office programs, and then starts cc:Mail from the shortcut icon.

The error may appear because the Setup program installs an updated Dynamic Link Library (.dll) file that cc:Mail attempts to use but cannot.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, start cc:Mail from the MS-DOS prompt. To do this, create a batch (.bat) file that starts cc:Mail in an MS-DOS window, and then create a shortcut that points to the batch file.

To start cc:Mail in an MS-DOS window, a customer can use the following batch file:

@echo off REM This file calls cc:Mail Mobile to run the Windows version REM of cc:Mail from an MS-DOS window. cd c:\ccmobile ccmail.exe cd\windows exit

NOTE: In the fourth and sixth lines of the .bat file, the folder locations for "ccmobile" and "windows", may differ depending on where the customer installs cc:Mail and Microsoft Windows 95.

To create a shortcut, follow these steps:

  1. Using the right mouse button, click on the Desktop.

  2. Click New, and then click Shortcut.

  3. To select the batch file, click Browse, locate the file, and double- click it.
