Commodore Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I would like just to use this particular program. I'm trying to install it, specifically the version described here: http://www.ysgyfarnog.co.uk/utilities/mousegestures/old/This version is declared to be compatible with Internet Explorer 5 or greater, and requires Windows 98/Windows NT 4 or greater, but does not really work.The installer seems to work, it copies the two files correctly, creates the registry key for the uninstall, but (strange!) it fails to register MouseGestures.dllSame result for the latest version.It's possible that the requirements presented are wrong? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Meanwhile i have tried in another mode. I have copied the related registry keys from another pc (no 98) into my computer.Now, when i open IE6, i found a mouse gestures item into tools menù. If i click on it, i obtain an IE crash, caused by MouseGestures.dll.Thanks Jaclaz for your help, i already tried unsuccessful a manual registration with regsvr32. I forgot to specify it before.

jaclaz Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Maybe the "false" info is about IE 5 and greater combined with the OS.IE6 should be supported fine, actually up to IE7 Beta1:http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5079/Mouse-Gestures-for-Internet-Explorermaybe it is the combination of Win98 and IE6 that causes the issue. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Nope :-/ I couldn't resist the temptation to check on the field. I have just set up a 98SE fresh installation for testing.With original IE5.0: negativeWith IE5.5: negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
