WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

SNA Server SNATRC.DLL fails to initialize if the Hermes SNA Sender (or any Windows 32-bit SNA application running as a Windows NT service) is started in any account other than LocalSystem.

= RESOLUTION =

The SNA tracing DLL now continues to initialize even if the internal call to RegisterWindowMessage fails. There are no problems with this, because pop-up dialog boxes cannot be raised directly by Windows NT services.

The SYSTEM.DLL module has been updated and is available on the MSSNA forum on CompuServe.

To install the updated module on the Windows NT machine where the Hermes SNA Sender is to run, do the following:

  From a command prompt, enter the following: NET STOP SNABASE This will stop all SNA Server processes on the machine (and will force off all current SNA Server users if entered at the server).   Copy the patched module to the directory.   Restart the machine by typing the following: NET START SNABASE
