Ben:

You are not alone. I had Zope work okay on a Win98 box when
I first installed it. But subsequent installs (to upgrade)
have never worked and show the symptoms you describe.

I've got a hunch that the registry needs tweaking but
I know precious little about that on NT and SFA on Win98.

Windoze gurus please help!
