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? -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
