    There may have been several Win98 problems fixed in
    the upcoming service pack.  Which one, in particular, were you referring
    to?

    This one:

    Can someone confirm the following: Have EV already installed. Go to: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?id=3023925&siteID=123112 More the slider bar up and down. Do you get strange results in the top left of the screen?

    Ah yes, I believe we have fixed that one in the
    service pack that's due out very soon.

    Will that service pack be something to apply to an
    existing installation (a separate download)
    or is
    the cabinet file at


    going to be updated to a newer version so that
    upgrading of existing installations will be automatically?

    After Autodesk updates the CAB file, if you have
    HTML pages that look like:

     

    OBJECT

    id=Eview


    size=2>codeBase=http://www.autodesk.com/global/expressviewer/installer/ExpressViewerSetup.cab#version=3,1,0,78

    classid=clsid:A662DA7E-CCB7-4743-B71A-D817F6D575DF

    width=470

    height=355

     

    users who view your pages will not automatically
    get an updated copy if they already have the current version. Of course users
    who have nothing will get the updated one, since the new CAB file will download
    and install. (I have removed the angle brackets from the tags so as not to
    confuse the newsreader software.)

     

    If you want to fix this, you will have to update
    your pages to reflect the new version. Let's say the next update is 3.2 build
    93. Then you would update your page to be:

     


    OBJECT

    id=Eview


    size=2>codeBase=http://www.autodesk.com/global/expressviewer/installer/ExpressViewerSetup.cab#version=3,2,0,93

    classid=clsid:A662DA7E-CCB7-4743-B71A-D817F6D575DF

    width=470

    height=355

     

    This means that your page requires version 3.2.0.93. If a user already had
    3.1.0.78, this does not meet the requirement, so the CAB file would download and
    install. This would upgrade the user from 3.1.0.78 to 3.2.0.93. Recall that
    3.2.0.93 is just an example. The next release of AEV may be something like
    3.1.0.86 -- I don't know what it will be -- but it will be at least
    3.1.0.79.

    The service pack appears to have initially fixed this problem, BUT after you print a file the display problem mentioned above comes right back. The problem still only appears to be related to WIN98. We have tried it on several different WIN98 machines and they all have the same problem. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

    Hi there!

    I also have the same problem with WinME. When I click the Print button and
    then Cancel, the image "runs" to the top left corner of the screen.
