Micky,

This turned out to be one bad file, viewer32.dll, I think
it is spelled. In the plugins folder.

See if you can find another, same-versioned DLL and do a binary
file-compare (DOS: FC /b). If there are *no* changes than either the
other file is also bad (rinse and repeat, check a third file for good
measure), or something else is going on. (if you have a backup, or
better yet: the origional install package you could extract and
compare with that known-to-be-good DLL)


If it means anything -- my install of Eudora 7.1.0.9 does not
have a
"viewer32.dll" -- it has a "Viewer.dll".

Properties/Details shows:

Message Viewer Dynamic Link Library
Application extension

Thank you Dennis.

Speaking of witch, anything related to the Message-File Viewer you guys
feel free to ask/discuss, here at the general section:
http://pandoramail.roomforum.com/f1-pandora-general

Just to clear it's name, offending application is not Message-File Viewer
aka Greek Message Viewer (viewer.dll), it's a different plug-in
(presumably) with similar name (viewer32.dll).


It appears likely that viewer32 was the earlier version of viewer.dll,
when the version was 3.2. Very strange since I don't remember
renaming it, and I normally wouldn't bother to save old versions when
the author has come out with something newer, and when I had no reason
to think I'd ever need the earlier version. And without checking the
flashdrive, I don't ecven know which version was on it`and which was
alr eady on the laptop

But apparently it was two versions of the same dll that caused the
problem, even tholugh one had another file name. I didn't know that
could happen. (My eyes are watering too much for me to know if I've
made typos.)

For version 3 I kept the old generic file-name (viewer), that may be
changed to MFV.dll, so we avoid confusion with other viewers (such as this
one), and to reflect it's renewed purpose.

FYI Version 3.2 will support Outlook Office Message files (msg). These
appear every now and than as attachments and what not, will come in handy.
No Office installation required BTW.

This small app survives against all the odds year after year, you made it
possible - thank you!
