I haven't got other reports of OMB refusing to open any style at all. It may be that the combination with the chinese version of windows 98 is fatal. There were a few reactions from china of people who were using it without the problem you describe, but I'm unsure which version of windows they were using. As you know we were trying to debug this last month, but after a few tries my emails were blokked and returned all the time (maybe because of the big attachments). It is not completely sure that it will always go wrong with the chinese version of windows 98. It could be that it is some option or program that you have installed on all 3 computers. Or were the computers of different people?
