Hi,

after installing SP2 my LapLink Gold 11 program does not open anymore.

I receive the message "LapLink Gold Core Component has encountered a problem
and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Under Windows Firewall - Exceptions I have added "LapLink Gold Core
Component", but I still cannot run the program.

Any help on this matter is very much appreciated.

Regards
Nick

I have a problem too. Laplink closes after starting without any message.
But I get an error-message when I try to install it again.

You could try putting it on a boot cd and installing it before
windows loads drivers. I used this for Laplink for Dos and
win xp sp1 and it should work for SP2. I am not sure it would
work if the hard drive were formatted with NTFS rather than Fat32;
I think that is the deciding factor.

Make a new small partition, maybe 2 gigs on the hard drive.
Format it with Fat 32 and install Laplink there before Windows
loads. NTFS can read Fat32 but not the other way around.
So you can read transfer files from the new partition in NTFS.
The files themselves, are the same in NTFS and Fat32.

I worked this with a winxp pro desktop and a laptop with
a broken cd-rom. A floppy installed laplink on the laptop
and the transfer was dos-like. If your version of Laplink
won't install from the dos-like, pre windows driver loading
environment, then I guess this won't work. If it requires
the GUI rather than the primitive transfer screen where
you copy files with F2 I think.

You could make a new bootable partition and install win98.
NTFS can read that parition which will work to move files
in and take them out. Then reboot and invoke laplink in
the win98 partition. It is more involved than before.
