3268.0. ""can't perform operation" - how to troubleshoot" by HTSC19::SIMONLAU () Tue Sep 14 1993 11:15

    Hi,
    
    A client, having ALL-IN-1 DESKTOP V1.1, could not perform any send and
    receive mail operation and received the follow message:
    
    "can't perform operation"
    
    I have tried to find more information from TIMA but failed.
    
    Could somebody suggest some idea? How could I troubleshoot this
    problem?
    
    Thanks
    Alex

3268.1AIMTEC::ZANIEWSKI_DWhy would CSC specialists need training?Tue Sep 14 1993 13:535
        This question is best asked in the A1SVC_PC notes conference.  The
        partial answer is to get the \MAIL\PROGRAMS\A1COMM.LOG file, from
        the PC, and examine it.

3268.2Problem solvedHTSC19::TONYLIUMon Sep 20 1993 03:5023
    Dave,
    Thanks for your reply to Alex.
    I am Tony Liu,a colleague of Alex.
    This problem had been fixed.
    In addition to displaying "cant perform operation" ,the terminal also
    additional message "press ENTER".
    This symptom occurred for create & send mail;
                              file cabinet rebuild.
    Pressing the ENTER key several times on request & checking the
    \mail\programs\a1comm.log,it could be found that the above operations
    can be performed successfully.
    Checking CONFIG.SYS,both BUFFER & FILES parameters were set OK.
    Tried re-installed the software,one directory C:\MAIL cant be removed.
    DOS version at 3.3
    Upgrade DOS to V5.0 & use ATTRIB command,there was one hidden file:
    DRIVE.CFG.Delete this file & re-installed the software.
    All things work as expected.
    
    Thanks & Regards.
    
    Tony.
