I contacted tech support after experiencing consistent app crashes with errors pointing to 2 dlls. I followed their reinstallation instructions and upgrading the service pack per their website prior to contacting them. Their tech gave me a knowledgebase link to a fix for another app, which of course didn't work b/c the MDAC update was for Win2K. I was then forwarded to a link on about.com summarizing generic fixes for my dll error (e.g. upgrade the service pack, etc.). This is the only app causing problems and I highly doubt it's my hardware (capacity: dual 2 GB proc w/ 2 GB RAM). | | Posted Jan 28, 2008 5:27 pm |
