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:

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.)

Just to be more clear, it definitely was the second dll that caused it
not to display mailboxes. They were a newer and older versions of the
same thing, one of them renamed. I should have changed .dll to other
than .dll. Next time I will.

Not sure if I had a lot of sand in my eyes or if the sand I had was
embedded in my cheeks and I couldn't scrape it out with my fingers like
normally. But the ointment or the eyedrops made that go away in a
couple days.

The plugged up ears, which I probably didn't mention, he gave me
oxomycillin (sp? No, I meant amoxycillin) for and it helped but it took
2, 3, maybe 4 more weeks after the 10 days of the prescription expired
before my hearing was normal in both ears. I was tempted to go to
another doctor, but my brother, a radiologist 77 years old, who seems to
me surprisingly current on other areas of medicine (considering there is
new reading to do on radiology alone, said to wait. He has to take an
online test in radiology every couple years to stay certified, and I'm
sure it's not like my computer certifications tests where everything I
needed to know I could pick up just by going to work. So how he manages
other areas I don't know, because some of the things he knows about
didin't even exist in 1969 when he completed his internship, the last
time I think he had formal training in anything but radiology.) But he
was right. My hearing cleared up finally.


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!
