The argument could also be made that if it's running on NT, it must not be very important anyway.... Imran Hussain wrote: > > Hi, > This is just an alert.

Hi, This is just an alert. If you are using Informix on NT, do not install the NT service pack 4.0. I learnt this the hard way. Yesterday, I upgraded my NT box with service pack 4 and it killed the Informix database. There is an alert message on Informix web site regarding this matter. Thanks, Imran. -- =========================================== Imran Hussain MCP, MCSD imranh@imranweb.com For FREE Software http://www.imranweb.com/freesoft ===========================================

Yes.. Informix Database Server does not work with SP4. But you can recorver your data. Install your Informix Server to clean NT system. And copy all device files and onconfig.cfg file. --- Jet Imran Hussain wrote: > Hi, > This is just an alert. If you are using Informix on NT, do not install > the NT service pack 4.0.
