RE: [WinMac] Exchange just quits on Performa 630

My experience with Outlook for Macintosh, Exchange Server edition (from the
Exchange SP1ftp site), which is the latest version Exchange client, has
shown me that fonts in the fonts folder of the system folder are often the
culprit. On one machine, Opening some suitcases and removing the TrueType
versions of some system fonts did the trick; on another, removing any fonts
from the fonts folder made the program behave exactly as you describe--the
splash screen, then quit. I have yet to get that second mac up to full
functionality.
I guess what I'm trying to say is there's some mysterious correlation
between the fonts in your system folder and the functionality of Outlook.
Of course our machines also have ATM so that may be muddying the waters. (I
would try turning off ATM but then the graphic designers would kill me.)
Take a look in the knowledge base at support.microsoft.com, there are plenty
of articles which may (or may not) relate to your particular scenario.
http://support.microsoft.com/support/c.asp?FR=0
is the starting point.
Good luck, and for what it's worth you technically could run Outlook for
Macintosh, Exhcange Server edition version SP1 on that performa since it's
supposed to work on 68040 and PowerPC machines. Could be worth the download
if nothing else fixes your problem.
