Where can I get them? A: You should be able to get ALL the files required by all the utilities at my homepage. If you can't, leave me a message. -> Q: Windows reported that I have a "device unavailible" error. What should I do? A: Your copy of winsock.dll is not compatible with the programs. Get a new one. Note that the copy of winsock I am using is the one supplied with Windows 95. -> Q: When I start the program, Windows 95 says that the language file is missing and refuses to run the program. A: This is quite a common problem. There are 2 solutions I can think of. They are: 1. Install Visual Basic 4.0. Once installed, VB4 will set the language.dll option in your win.ini. 2. Set the language.dll option yourself. An easy way to do this is to run setup, change the language to something else. Then save the new settings. After that, if you want the language to be the old one, then run setup again and change it back. Note that this is not guranteed to work, but it worked for me. - Others - -> This area is closed until someone posts me something to say.
