| I downloaded & installed MUSHclient on my desktop (Win98SE) and it ran just fine. And I liked it so much that I decided that I wanted to install it on my laptop which also runs Win98SE. But when I double-click on it, the little hourglass pops up like it's gonna run & turns over once & then disappears & nothing happens!
Any suggestions as to what the problem might be? I did run RegClean one time which found errors that it fixed, but still no go. Rebooted too. Uninstalled & reinstalled.
Thanks for any and all help!

| This has happened to me a couple of times, and the fix was rather obscure. I think it is because it cannot load the internal resources in the executable, and the reason it can't is because of the "zone".
Check under International settings that both are the same, eg. that the laptop is set to US English (or whatever the working PC has) and see if that helps. |

| Well, I checked that & they are both set at US English already, so that isn't the problem.
On the advice of a friend, I ran prcview (process viewer) to see if I could figure out which DLLs (that mushclient uses) might be different from one computer to the other, but there are a couple of pages worth... do you think that would be productive, and/or do you have any suggestions for reducing the size of the list? (Maybe there are certain DLLs that are more tricky or likely to cause problems...)
Thanks! | | Top |

| MUSHclient is basically DLL-free, apart from needing system DLLs that should be standard under Windows 98.
The only one I think it uses is the spellcheck DLL, and it should soldier on without it.
I'll have to add some checks in its initialisation, that in the few places where it exits quietly, and small message is added to give a clue why. |
