PC WRmt: Operation When No Timer Available (112907)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q112907

SYMPTOMS

On startup (if you have chosen periodic or scheduled events), Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows tries to get a timer. If a timer is not available (for example, the Windows system cannot be acquired), Mail Remote for Windows disables time-based features and issues the following error message:
Can not schedule connection. Close down other time-based applications and restart mail
However, if you have not requested a periodic or scheduled connection, this error does not appear.

CAUSE

In the Session Setup dialog box, if a timer isn't available, periodic and scheduled options are unavailable (grayed) from the connection group. The error message only appears if you have auto connect set to ON in your <Windows_Directory>\MSMAIL.INI file.
