    Getting 16 Bit applications ot work on XP Pro

    Thanks and you're quite correct! www.and.com got nothing but a retry of www.AND.com worked. Got their phone number, called and waited on the phone for over 15 minutes without a tech guy coming on line. Eventually, I put the phone down but have now written to their CEO so we'll see what happens...

    Getting 16 Bit applications ot work on XP Pro

    I replied too soon! calling up www.and.nl or www.and.com draws a blank on both. Google returns a great big nothing Database of publishers shows AND Nederland but click on the link and nothing happens. Does this inevitably mean that they have now gone irretrievably belly-up? :-((((((((((((( B.

    Getting 16 Bit applications ot work on XP Pro

    Thanks again, my two Samaritans, I shall try to contact AND Publishers and beg or scrounge a fix, if possible. The advice that they still exist in resurrected format was great - thanks! No, logged in as ADMINISTRATOR and off and on in all other personae. It's not that. Other apps install and...

    Getting 16 Bit applications ot work on XP Pro

    Hi Both Isn't Tek-Tips wonderful? The world is full of Good Samaritans - it just takes the Internet to flush them out. Any good I zip up the folder containing my Oxford Dictionary of Quotations files, Dlls, EXE and all and sending the zip to you and see whether you have any luck in getting it...

    Getting 16 Bit applications ot work on XP Pro

    Thanks for your advice - both of you. Unfortunately, all emulation endeavours as also "help > Getting Programs to run under XP" still fail to load this program. Do you know any way to successfully deal with "internal error 33400" when starting the EXE file? MS website...

    Adobe Premier 6.5 - Can Capture but No Clips Visible

    Help? New to Adobe Premier - was using ULead VideoStudio 7. I can capture from a Sony DV PC9E camera (much better than VideoStudio 7 - much less jerky) but after stopping capture, there is no captured video showing in either preview screen nor does anything dump itself onto the editing track...

    Ddhelp locks the Computer

    Hi Thanks - no - installing the latest DirectX from the MS website didn't solve it nor did d/loading the latest ATI Radeon video drivers. However, I seem to have solved it by disabling "System ROM Breakpoint" in Msconfig. Funny things, computers .......... Best & thanks again

    Ddhelp locks the Computer

    Apparently since installing Netscape 7.1 over the previous version of 7.02, on closing Netscape, I get a DDHELP error message (a type of GPF) which locks the computer. Never got this with version 7.02. Reboot is necessary each time. Very irritating! MS knowledge base only refers to upgrading...

    W98v2 - "Msgsvr32.exe Not Responding" - Loading Desktop HANGS

    Thanks to both of you for your helpful advice re the msgsrv32 problem. I've d/loaded and installed the two utilities you pointed me to and we'll see ! As of now, it loads the GUI no problem. That doesn't mean it isn't going to get up to its old tricks again on the next start-up :-( Thanks...

    W98v2 - "Msgsvr32.exe Not Responding" - Loading Desktop HANGS

    No, nothing's been changed with audio or any other drivers. The irritating part is that sometimes this hangs the GUI and at other times, GUI comes live happily enough. When it hangs, a CntrL_Alt_Del tells that "msgsrv32.exe is not responding". Then I go into msconfig and untick...

    W98v2 - How to Disable the MS mail sign-in dialogue on Startup

    Hi Thanks for the tip of Control Panel > Networking > change Primary Log-on to "Windows". Did this but the message about loggibng on still comes up prior the desk-top going live. Only now it says "Windows" Log-on "Username & Password" instead of the previous...

    W98v2 - CAnnot "Shell out" to DOS from Desk-top

    Hi Many thanks. Going to MsConfig > Advanced and unticking a couple of things and limiting RAM to 492 (was set on 511) and hey presto the problem is solved. Can now shell out happily and run MSDOS programme icons normally. Lots of messing about with config.sys and autoexec.bat had done nothing...

    W98v2 - How to Disable the MS mail sign-in dialogue on Startup

    Sorry - this was supposed to be "How to disable the "Microsoft Networking" dialogue on startup. It asks for a username and a password. An "escape" gets rid of it but it stubbornly re-appears each time the m/c is re-srarted. There's nothing in the start-up section of...

    W98v2 - "Msgsvr32.exe Not Responding" - Loading Desktop HANGS

    How did you get to "uninstalling" msgsrv32.wexe. I don't know where it resides and MS knowledge base very helpfuly - as usual - don't give a single word on it ! Kocking out every entry referring to msgsrv32.exe in the registry is too dangerous, I guess, since the system might...

    W98v2 - CAnnot "Shell out" to DOS from Desk-top

    No, not starting in "MS-DOS Mode". Shelling out from the desktop by clcking on an Ms-Dos icon (which is actually COMMAND.COM in the root directory gives a message of "memory too low" to be able to do it. That's crazy because there are no windows or applications open when I...

    I had a machine built for me and the MS mail dialogue is "enabled" on prior to the desktop loading. Can anyone advise how to diaable this irritant necessitating giving a username and password (or escaping) before the desktop load continues - without detrimentally affecting the TCP/IP...
