I upgraded our existing WinNt 4.0 and W2K Servers with the final release of KiXtart last night, and this morning wished I hadn't. The Win9x clients were getting the following error, when trying to log onto the Network:
A Fatal Exception Error at 07 has occured at 0028:C605312D in VXDWIMMU32P (01) + 00053121. Current application will be terminated
After the Win95 client machines recieved this error, the PC had to be rebuilt. It appears that the error resulted in either damaging the registry or part of the Operating System. Currently it looks like about a dozen machines are going to have to be rebuilt, until then those useres cannot work. I guess I should have tested the Final Release in our lab before I put it on the servers. I just hadn't had this kind of trouble, with KiXtart, before. "Once Bitten, Twice Shy". Thanks.

Dear,
We are running this release in W95/ME/NT4/W2K/XP client environment with NT4/W2k with-
out AD as servers without any problem.
Possible that it has to do with some other things in your environment.
Some questions:
- what active processes are running after a startup? f.e. virusscanner
- what are you doing in your script?
- did you try a simple script like f.e.
code:
$null=MessageBox("Kixtart @kix starting","KiXtart info")
- were are the kixtart binaries installed? client and/or server?
- how are you calling kixtart? kix32.exe or wkix32.exe?
- are there no older kixtart kixtart binaries on your servers and clients?
be sure that a servers are running the same kixtart binaries. - can you return the current releases of system DLL's f.e. by using MSINFO32
(= additional program of Office package)
or a directory list of it.
greetings.

MightyR1, you hit the nail on the head.
KCWill,
search on a clean machine for the WIMMU32 file. Digging deep into my RAM I found something about WIMMU VXD's...
Do you have Inoculan Antivirus installed? If so maybe the viles of Inoculan are corrupt...
When we uninstalled InoculateIT from these machines, we were then able to log-on. MightyR1 saved us a 1-2 days worth of work. Thanks! The question this raises now is why, when I replaced KiXtart with the final release, InoculateIT was damaged on these 6 or 8 machines. All of the Win9x workstations on our Network run InoculateIT. I don't understand what caused only some of the machines to be damaged. It's possible that these machines may have had an eariler version of InoculateIT, but they wouldn't have been the only Computers with the eariler version of InoculateIT? At this point I don't seen any reason or advantage to use the Final Release of KiXtart, when the eariler version ran without these problems. I'm interested in hearing what ideas people may have that could explain this problem. Thanks again?

Dear,
Mostly the accuratesse of virus software isn't depending of definition files, but also
some patches to your EXE influence the way it is working.
Also for heavy stations with advise to use two or more scanners. What the first is missing
will be catch by the other. Of course the software and definition files must be
up to date also.
An advantage is too, when your software can control your email system also.
greetings.

. We use the avupdate.exe for our Win9X machines. For some reason sometimes (can't be reproduced) Inoculate stuff gets corrupted.![[Wink]](images/icons/wink.gif){kind=icon}
No reason to not use KiX4.10a!!!!!
