SYMPTOMS
========

The Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client is unable to run on a Power Macintosh if
the Control Panel Macintosh Easy Open (or Mac OS Easy Open) is not installed.
This issue does not affect the 68-KB Macintosh, only the PowerMac Microsoft
Exchange Macintosh client.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following error message appears when you try to start the Microsoft Exchange
Macintosh client without Macintosh Easy Open installed on a PowerMac:

  The application "Microsoft Exchange & Schedule+" could not be opened
  because "Translation" could not be found.

To workaround this problem, Easy Open (either Macintosh and/or Mac OS) must be
loaded during startup. To ensure that Easy Open is loaded during startup, do one
of the following:

- In Control Panel, Extensions Manager, select Macintosh Easy Open and/or Mac
  OS Easy Open, and then restart.

  -OR-

1. From the finder, go to the System folder.

2. Make sure that the Control Panel(s) Macintosh Easy Open and/or Mac OS Easy
  Open is present in the System Folder, Control Panels folder, and then reboot.

  -OR-

- Easy Open may not be present in the System Folder or any of its subfolders.
  To install Easy Open you will need to re-install the Macintosh Operating
  System.

STATUS
======

client, version 5.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange
