Have two workstations with same setup. Network Control Panel settings
are the same (frame type is 802.3). Workstations are the same, except
one of them has Office 97 installed. The workstation without Office
97 works fine. The other will work fine until left idle for about 10
minutes. When left idle, a GPF occurs in the Engine and OEngine goes
away. Have to shutdown remainder of application and restart it.
We removed the FileFind process from the workstation but it still
crashed. The NLM is being attached correctly (saw the FFFFs in SYSOBJ from the OI editor).
It appears that the connection is being dropped from the NLM for some
reason, or something is interfering with the OENGINE in memory. Nothing else is running, the screen saver is off as is any power
management settings.
What will be tried next:
Install the client DLLs from the OI CD.Copy application to local drive and see if it crashesReinstall Client32.Any other ideas?

Brock,
Check the event log viewer, and see if anything was loaded at startup on one NT machine that wasn't loaded on the other or vice versa. Office might have snuck some wonderfully useful service in there. If Office's presence on the non-functioning machine is non-vital (and/or if it could be removed and reinstalled for academic purposes), see if removing it alleviates the anomalous behavior.
If it does, then I'm sure it must be something that Office is running that is causing a hiccup. If it doesn't, I'm not sure what might cause the problem, but I would probably be tempted to loosely compare the SYSTEM.INI files on each machine.. Yes they are obsolete, but OI does use the old 16 bit stuff.

Maybe it's fastfind or office start or whatever else office loads when it's installed.

I have seen machines running Client 32 and Tcpip across the same Network Card log out from the Novell network when the TCPIP connection is used.
