================================================ Subject: Re: DER...XP Installed From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Mon 13 Aug 2001 00:47:04 -0400 ================================================ List of bugs that i have encountered. Problem: Cutting information from an IE browser, then pasting the information into a Word 2000 document. All of the links end up loosing the // part in links. So a link like file://directory/subdir/stuff.htm would crash the comnputer upon expecting the information to be intact. Effect: The link would be file:directorysubdirstuff.htm .... This would cause an MPREXE error to pop up on my computer screen. Causing an unrecoverable error. Unless you ran msprexe from the "start / run" . But, your system might lock up again. OS: Win 95. --- Browser IE5.x --- Word 2000 I also have experienced the MSPREXE error using word 97 and HTML documents. But this problem seemed to happen upon secondary changes of documents converted from document to HTML format. Upon second attempt of editing the now HTML document. About working for MS. I work right across the street from a newly built MS building. My meaning to post the information was not to start a panic and flight from MS. But for some things that I seem to remember reading or hearing about. I might apply for a job there one day. Who knows!!! Since I am not afraid to find possible bugs and bring them to notice. No offense taken .... but to put an example to you on a place of work. A girl was in a store that had one of our products (supermarket scale). She said to the customer. "We make that scale" --- Anyway, the customer let her have it. They expressed all of thier dissatisfaction. Needless to say. The worker never said that to anyone else. The best thing to do is to try out the complaints yourself. If they are legitimate, you have free information to improve the product that earns you a living. Sorry for any misleading of anyone. But I'll still have to check into the things that I believe are true. Again, I hope they were BS, but my intention was not to throw out rumors. It just so happens that I have no proof. For the MS side, all that is needed is for them to come out with NT4 service pack 7, still support ME, 98. Along with 2000 and XP. If they do that. You know that what I said is not true. Again, I'm looking forward to the continued support for NT4 and the other OSes. Later, Jim Debbi R wrote: > I wouldn't call myself fanatical.
