I get the message "Bad or Missing Communications DLL". Why?

The communications DLL is the Windows module performing the communications between Anzio Lite and AnzioWin and the external connection. If you are connecting via a serial connection, the probable cause is that something else already has the port in use. Check for conflicts in the communications COM port and check for software loaded in the background using the same port (if it's a modem, check for fax software). If you are connecting over TCP/IP, check to make sure that you have a connection to the network first. If you are dialing in to the Internet, your ISP service (Compuserve, MSN, etc.) must already be connected and you must be logged in. If it is a direct connection, check to see that the "Control Panel:Network" properties are correct. Also, if you are using a 16-bit version of Anzio Lite or AnzioWin, there should be one and only one, Winsock.dll found (it is usually under the \windows directory). Multiple winsock.dll are as much a "no-no" as is none at all.
