Subject: SSIACT.386 NOT LOADING
Hi Folks,
Upgraded to W2K. When reinstalling TS4.0 with the upgraded builds on
this OS, i am getting the message "SSIACT.386 NOT LOADED". Has anyone
running w2k run into this problem? If so, what was your solution? I
downloaded the supposed lastest one from omega's website and used that one,
no resolution using that. Nothing in the faq's or their knowledge base seems
to pertain to this problem. Thanks in advance,
KJH
