SYMPTOMS
When you start the Administration program (ADMIN.EXE) for Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, the following message may be received:

Could Not Find Mail System Data Files on Drive M:



CAUSE
This may be caused if ADMIN.EXE cannot open the MODEM.GLB with READ/WRITE access.

When ADMIN.EXE launches, it tries to open the MODEM.GLB with READ/WRITE access. If this fails, either due to corruption or the READ-ONLY attribute having been applied, ADMIN.EXE will fail to start, returning the above error.



RESOLUTION
If this should occur, either remove the READ-ONLY attribute, or remove the file.

A new MODEM.GLB can be created by doing the following:
 * 1) Delete MODEM.GLB
 * 2) Restart ADMIN.EXE

A MODEM.GLB will be recreated automatically.
 * 1) Because the new MODEM.GLB may not have the correct settings, select Config, Serial in ADMIN.EXE to set the baud rate, comm prt, and dial type.

Additional query words: 3.20 error MODEM.GLB
