Editing a context menu

Every so often, I run a file, get the screen: "missing MSCOREE" (IIRC)
What does that signify, other than a missing file?

Signifies the app is dependent on the MSFT .NET framework ...

Hi Mike. Surely there must be a local (to you) computer users club\group.
The guys are generally very helpful and friendly.
I`m sure someone would d\load and burn for you.

In some ways, Oregon is the land time forgot. If I lived in Portland, that would be
different.

No computer club locally, the people I know, like me, are on DUN. One fellow's sig is
out in the sticks, I know what he means.

Was your experience with W2K that it is:
a. more stable than W98SE
b. more resistant to software caused crashes than W98SE, easier to recover?

W2k is a predecessor to XP, which is super stable & W2k is lot more
stable than 98.

Some programs on install need reboot, most do not. What is the implication when an
install demands a reboot to be effective?

Mike, that sometimes means that the program installed a newer version
of a dll or ocx, and that Windows has to reboot to recognize the
change - or that a file that has to be replaced is currently open so,
again, Windows has to reboot for the old file to be replaced.

98SE wasn't particularly unstable, but 2k is particularly stable, so
maybe there's a little difference. (I know a 2k server that's run for
years between reboots.)

b. more resistant to software caused crashes than W98SE, easier to recover?

Depends on the cause of the crash. A really well-written (or
poorly-written, depending on your viewpoint) program can crash any OS.

Thanks, Al. Your last sentence is IMO an axiom. I have heard diametrically opposed
opinions about 2K vs. W98SE. In about 3 months I will have an opinion too. BTW, since
my recent fresh install, W98SE runs just fine online with NO patches (don't use IE),
use a firewall, so far. I never believed in those old "critical" MS patches even
though I loaded them.

Microsoft says that 2k is forty times as reliable as 98SE.

Prolly this:
http://www.dis.wa.gov/enterprise/cab/win2kreliabilityreport.pdf

The same report is also available from MS directly..as an editable(!)
..doc file. Apart from the rare application install, the only Win2k
system I've /had/ to reboot since it's release is the one at home
running the (Steam) games.

fwiw,

Microsoft also said that no one would EVER need more than 640k of RAM.

Take a MS pronouncement for whatever you think it's worth. Personally

coming out of Redmond - my cat can't tell me anything wrong.

In a perfect world pdf would exist - Adobe wouldn't. Money wouldn't.
We'd all do what we were best at and get what we needed, die at a very
old age, completely healthy, vigorous and alert until the last moment,
when we'd simply go to sleep and not wake up.

Oh, wait a minute - someone tried something like that (the first part,
anyway) and it didn't work. I guess the world's not perfect after
all.

Hi Al!


erm..

I know our last Kardinal. He got Ninetynine. Healthy, vigourous and
alert to the last. Except, he had not need the (your) very first

Adobe is making good Software, as Microsoft does. When it is not
satisfying enough to you, then do not use it. Both are offering
demo-versions (e.g. XP 30days, AcrobatReader etc..)!!
