Fortres Question

[Marc_Davis/LIB/UNO/UNEBR at unomail.unomaha.edu]

Was wondering if anyone using Fortres had any thoughts on this problem
we've encountered:

Environment: Windows95.  Internet Explorer 4.0 running an in-house ActiveX
control.  The control is responsible for mounting and unmounting NT network
shares to provide access to CD-Rom databases.  After mounting the share,
the control loads the client program for the particular product, runs it
and un-mounts the share when the program has terminated.  During the
process of running the client program, the control suspends Internet
Explorer until the client program has exited.

Problem:  After telling the control which CD-Rom product to mount, the
system freezes after 10 or 15 seconds to the point where nothing happens
when the start button is depressed or CTRL+ALT+DEL is attempted.  The only
way out is to turn off the machine's power.

Is there any particular setting that must be enabled or disabled to allow
the Active X program to mount & unmount shares and run programs over the
network drive?
