TweakUI won't install
Problem #1
I downloaded Tweak for XP but when I try to install I get the following, "Entry point not found. The procedure entry point Getdlldirectoryw could not be located in the dynamic link Library kernel32.dll" Anyone have a clue as to my problem? Problem #2. If I am logged on as Administrator I can send & receive emails and log on to the newsgroups. If I log on under my own name, I can't do these things. This install of XP was done on top of my Win98 install. Logged on as Administrator none of the emails sent & received in Win98 are present. Logged on under my name, I can see all of them, but I just can't send or receive. How in the world can I resolve this short of reverting back to Win98? Thanks |

You need to install either SP1 or SP2 (preferred) before installing TweakUI.

For #2 it seems that you have an error in configuration of your e-mail
client under your own name log-in; why you see the old e-mails under your own name and not under Admin is because there are two "mailboxes" created--one for each log-in-- and the one that inherited the old e-mails was your own name account (log-in). What are you using, Outlook, Outlook Express, something else? I imagine that you have quadruple-checked the settings for your e-mail account already, but in your place I would either check them one last time without ever saying "I know that this is right so I'm jumping it" or recreate the account settings from scratch. If OE or Outlook 2000 or prior, you can export the account info to an *.iaf file that you can save in a neutral folder like C:\Temp, log in with your own name and import it. -- Cheers, Alphonse "Patch" wrote in message news:1108762298.708e2751160d07e1dab28dbaf113f730@t eranews...

Thanks Ramesh, that fixed the download problem. For some strange reason,
yesterday when I was reading the answers to my question in this newsgroup I picked up 3 viruses & my home page was changed to a gamling casino site. I didn't receive any mail & this newsgroup was the only place I visited. I'm running AVG & Zone Alarm. I had to uninstall SP2 as it trashed my IE6. (couldn't send or receive email) Is there a way to install MS firewall without all the SP2 stuff? "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote in message ...
