PC Win: File Manager Send Mail Option Hangs Computer (103457)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0b
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q103457 SYMPTOMS
With versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows, the
computer may appear to stop responding (hang) when you choose Send
Mail from the Windows File Manager Mail menu. This problem occurs only
if you use ALT+TAB to select Program Manager and then select (double-click)
File Manager a second time.
RESOLUTION
If File Manager is not maximized, activate a different program by
selecting another application. Or, you can double-click the desktop
and bring up the Task List.
If the File Manager is maximized, you can press F7 to invoke the spelling
checker, which returns you to Program Manager. (See Note below.)
Close the Send Note Window to return the computer to normal operation.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 does not include a
spelling checker. If you are a Windows for Workgroups Mail user and
you have the File Manager maximized, you will have to reboot your
machine to continue.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b,
and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as
it becomes available.
