FastNet99

[Kathleen Kelley]

I am trying to use FastNet99. However, I receive an error message,"
Component FindFile.ocx or one of its dependencies not correctly
registered. A file is missing or invalid."
What does this mean, and how can I rectify the problem?

FindFile.ocx appears to be a search program, per the review and info at
<http://softseek.com/Programming/ActiveX/Internet_and_Networking/Review_

Possibly FastNet99 makes use of the search capabilities of FindFile.ocx?

You might contact the author of FastNet99 for assistance; if another
program is required in order to use FastNet99, possibly he has a
licensing agreement with the other program's author so that he can
distribute the needed components without your having to pay for the
additional program.

Kathleen:

You need to find the file FINDFILE.OCX and then 'Register' it with Windows.
I run FastNet99 on Windows NT, so I found it in the \winnt\system32 folder.
If you're running Windows 9x you may find it in the \windows\system folder.

Once you find FINDFILE.OCX, drag and drop it onto a file named REGSVR32.EXE.
That will register the OCX in the windows Registry so Fastnet99 will know
how to find and use it. You should get a message box confirming this when
you do so.

Another way is to open a DOS box, then type the commands in manually. Follow
these steps:

Click the Start button, then click 'run'
type COMMAND and press enter. You'll get a DOS box.
Execute the following commands: (press <enter> after each line)

C:
CD\WINDOWS\system
REGSVR32 FINDFILE.OCX

You'll see the message box. Then type
EXIT

...to exit DOS.

Hope that helps!
