LOGANiSE Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 It seems there is a problem with the comctl32.dll file included in the installer. Until I come home on August 16th and can create a patch for the problem, here is a hopefully temporary fix. Replace the comctl32.dll file in the WINDOWS\system32 directory with the comctl32.dll file from the backup folder located in WINDOWS\_BACKUP. (there are multiple comctl32.dll files located in the backup folder, only use the one labeled comctl32.dll)is there a patch yet? .. i cant replace the files, it says its being used by another program, closed everytin & still. Restarted in Safe Mode too, couldnt replace it though. So any solution?
MCT Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 dude, chill out, u arent giving anyone time 2 respond, just cuz someone doesnt post a reply 2 seconds after u post doesnt mean that they wontdownload the visual basic runtime files
