With more information. What Kermit program are you using? Kermit 95?
Which version? Most K95 users go straight to kermit-support@columbia.edu
for help -- you didn't know about it?
Anyway, my first suggestion would be to look at all the directories in your
PATH (and current directory) and see which ones have RFA_API.DLL in them.
Every time you install software on Windows, DLLs tend to pile up all over
the place. If that doesn't help, get back to the Kermit support address.
Well, it probably won't since you say it only happens on new installations.
So please get back to us with details about your software.
