Hi all. Kind of a straight forward question here. Following an easy install of Deus Ex (which runs fine), I found I couldn't open Explorer or Outlook, just get a type 11 error and kapute - system doesn't hang, tho'. I should know what's wrong but...I thought maybe a QuickTime conflict? Anyone have this happen to them? Note: hadn't applied Aspyre's patch yet...
Thanks Much,
Caler

I can't imagine why a Deus Ex install would hose IE and Outlook. Deus Ex is based on the Unreal engine, which doesn't install any extensions or nasty stuff in your system folder.I don't think QuickTime is the problem, but I suppose it's worth a look. What version do you have installed? Deus Ex shipped with 4.0.x, IIRC. You should upgrade to 5.0.2.

Agreed, but it's the only change I made prior to those apps crapping out :confused:
...and this is a brand new QS 733 W/ QT 5.0.2. I just can't think of what in an Unreal-based game install would do something like this. Got an e-mail in to Aspyr before I try reinstalling IE/OE...
Thanks for the reply.

Have you restarted the machine since you installed? I imagine you have, but one should never Ass-U-Me things...Have you tried restarting with the Mac OS 9.1 Base extension set? Sometimes that helps identify where the problem lies.

Got it...corrupt internet prefs file...looking back, I think it happened during the 'register online' option of the install. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> Thanks guys.
