<jmw@jmwa.demon.co.uk> inimitably wrote, and didn't get any response, so
is trying again
:

>I have NT4 SP4 on a Mitac laptop. I have installed an Internet suite
>called 'Turnpike', which is quite widely used in UK. It was working
>until three days ago. The main part of the suite is itself in two parts:
>an on-line communication part called 'Connect' and an off-line mail and
>news handler called 'Turnpike'.

>Now that the problem has occurred, attempting to run 'Connect' brings up
>an error box:

>                    'Connect: Error in file. 
>                         C:\Turnpike\ 
>The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.'
>
> There is an OK button, and a Help button, but there is actually no Help
>behind it.

>I have re-installed the suite, and reinstalled it again after deleting
>all the files in C:\Turnpike, but the problem persists. Other files,
>including Turnpike.exe will load from the same folder correctly
>(although Turnpike.exe will not run because Connect.exe is now not
>properly configured: you have to run it to do that, and of course I
>can't run it).
>
>I ran CHKDSK /f and it reported no problem.

>Can anyone please suggest what might be wrong, and how to fix it?
