MSJava will not exist on your WinXP computer unless you installed Java from Microsoft. Most of these problems can be resolved by re-registering the DLL’s. I don’t know what the activity is — unless… is Lex streamed to us??

Sorry, but what exactly is a dwg file on your computers? I suspect an AutoCAD file. There is likely a setting in the registry that stores the default page size, and this is different on the two computers

Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftware and/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware and look up the Developer of the software in question, and then look for the Software. Dig around for a “PageSize” or similar registry value.

Well, if you don’t speak US English, then you deserve what you get! ;-]

In all seriousness, I suspect that is a “User Interface” problem and not a lack of Functionality. MS has jsut not bothered to update the User Interface if you don’t speak their primary language. And who says Americans are obnoxious?

You can likely make the modification yourself by running this .reg file:

———————————-

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerSearchUrl]
“Provider”=”gogl”

If you type: res:shdoclc.dlldnserror.htm in you address bar and hit Enter, the page should display. This simply means… “the browser cannot connect to the address in question”.

This sounds like a Networking problem and not an IE problem. The Network may not be set up correctly for all machines to access the Internet. Do each of the machines have their own unique IP address?? Is an NAT router being used to connect them to the Internet? How exactly are the boxes connecting to the Internet?

If you go to one of the boxes that cannot connect, open up a DOS box:

Start | Run
Type “command” (no quotes) and hit Enter
Type “tracert 63.151.114.115” (no quotes) and hit Enter.
(This may take some time. Go get some coffee.)

How many actual IP addresses does this list out before it gets to all the “Request timed out” responses? What are the first 5 to 6 numbers of the IP addresses that it does list?

After you do that — and collect the info — then type this: “tracert http://www.wopr.com” (no quotes) and hit Enter. What happens now?

Thanks.

Works for me too…

I have not bothered to make an “Installer” file for this — so you have to do this manually!

Attached is a zip file containing three files. One is a .reg file. Run that and it creates the Context Menu item. Then, move the other files (the .htm file and the .exe file) into the “C:WindowsWeb” folder. Give it a try.

I will look into those suggestions later. Thank you.

Let me clarify this a little more — in case I need to make the plan more clear. A friend has this program that uses a text file as a “definition list” — similar to the way Anti-Virus companies use definition lists. This list changes every few weeks. He posts the lists on a web site to be available for download. Presently, for users to “update” their program, they have to go to his web site, download the list, and the swap the New List for the Old List.

Clearly, this is a behavior that can and should be automated — just like Norton’s LiveUpdate or even Microsoft’s Windows Update. I want to create a button to do a “Live Update” of this definition file. It will not be an .html page. It might be listed as a “.txt” file, but I was actually thinking of creating a new file extension to use for this specific purpose.

I know I can muck with the registry and make the new file extension and even give it a Mime Content Type for IE to use. That is all no problem. I just have never coded something to “Go to a site on the Internet, download file “X”, and stick it in folder “Y”. It should be relatively easy — Norton’s Live Update does it all the time!

Making Google the default Search Engine is useful, but not the same as assigning it to the Address bar Searches.

If it is the default Search Engine, that means when you click the Search button, a Google screen opens in the “Vertical Explorer Bar” (see image).
