Topic: Registry leak?

[momad30044]

OK, I've downloaded the ssccc.dll file...where do I put it?

I don't think it's a hard drive problem...sometime ago when this first started, I did reinstall Windows, hoping that would help, it didn't.  We have a 26.6GB hard drive and 256 mg memory and are not planning on upgrading before next year (except to add a fancy graphics card).

I think it will live in here Debbie :

C:\WINDOWS\system32

Just copy and paste it in,dont try to run it or open it.
Then try your program again and see if it runs ok this time.

If it is still not working properly try the :

 Click Start, and then click Run. Type the following commands in the text box:
regsvr32"C:\WINDOWS\ssscc.dll"

[momad30044]

OK, copied and pasted, then typed in:

regsvr32"C:\WINDOWS\ssscc.dll" (typed with the ", right?)

I get this error message:  LoadLibrary{C:Windows\ssscc.dll failed    GetLastError returns 0x00000485

If you copied the file to c:\windows\system32 Debbie, the command to type will be

regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\ssscc.dll"
(note the space between regsvr32 and the ")

I think Sandra might have made a typo
If that doesn't work, try it without the quotes as I'm not sure they are necessary

[momad30044]

Thanks, Sean...typed it in exactly.  I'm still getting the LoadLibrary...failed message as above (or below)  I copied and pasted the ssscc (which is an application file)into System32...any other ideas?

Debbie, if you downloaded the .dll file from the link in my earlier post, it is a .exe file, which will probably need double-clicking to extract the actual .dll file from it.

[momad30044]

Should I have double clicked on it before putting it in the System32 file?  Also, should it be in the driver file, or all alone in System32 file...or doesn't it matter.

Thanks, you guys have all been so nice to me!

[chorleydave]

Many of these files come packed as self-extracting .exe files.  When you double-click them, they will usually give you the choice of "Unpack to (a default path) OR "Run Winzip", assuming of course that the Winzip program is present on the PC.  I usually choose "Run Winzip" and then EXTRACT the file to the desktop, from where it may be copied and pasted the the relevant Path.

[momad30044]

OK, now I'm excited!  Maybe this will solve all my problems!  Well, probably not all of them, but at least my immediate computer problem.  Will go try and see what happens.

[momad30044]

Well, I double clicked, nothing much happened, I was given no options, but the message was:  "searching exe:C:/Windows/system32/sssccd"1.exe     pksfx: (W18) readme already exists   overwrite y/n

Thinking that maybe it opened it, I ran the run program you suggested before and got this:
"Can't find Windows/System32/ssus.dll

Then I get an an illegal operation message and the registry32 shuts down.

Sorry I havent been around to help much for the last few hours Debbie,I have been picking some friends up from the airport.
I am here for a couple of hours if you need any more help(if I can do of course  8) )

[momad30044]

Welcome back and feel free to jump in feet first and offer suggestions...I'm afraid I'm stumping everyone.

(But don't let me take you away from your friends!)

Ok Debbie I have downloadewd that exe prog and got the .dll file it is 899kbs by itself if you can send me your e mail address to sandra@pc-pals.com or in a PM to me on here I can mail it to you if your ISP allows that size of file as an attachment  

[momad30044]

Just sent my e-mail address, Sandra!

[chorleydave]

Blimey, Sandra, the atmospherics must be ideal for telepathic messages between Chorley and Burnley tonight!  I have just downloaded the file, have extracted the .dll, have it sitting proudly on my desktop, and was just going to offer to send it to Debbie via e-mail, but you had already done it.

SPOOKY!!!!
