- This maybe a dumb question, but did you completely reinstall WPWIN? I don't
- know how yours is set up, but mine is divided into two separate
- subdirectories:
-
- /..../WPWIN
- /..../WPC
-
- Most of the common dll's are under WPC, but it *looks* like your having an
- executable problem. At this point I would do a complete re-install of WPWIN
- and if it's still screwy, re-install Windoze. I had to do that once when I
- was having some really strange problems. Reinstalling either or both shouldn't
- mangle your default settings, so it's not like starting totally from scratch.
- In any case, it'll probably be quicker than trying to hunt down and replace
- the offending file(s). Just to be on the safe side, you could copy off your
- *.ini files from \WINDOWS and \WINDOWS\SYSTEM before re-installing Windoze.
-
- Hope that helps and please let me know what happens...
