Msgboard Chatroom Marathon
Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Honestly, I would go to IRC for this kind of stuff, but if any of you have been there recently, everyone seems to be...inactive. Sooooooooo, out of boredom, I'm turning a thread among this msgboard into a chat room, anyone care to join? =P.
It's Sunday night, and I'm bored out of my mind. There's much to do, but I'm too lazy to get around to do it. My boyfriend is busying trying to get Visual Studios to work so I can't talk to him on the phone....and we can't seem to talk over the phone anyways...it'll just be silence mostly.
New Semester started........so anyone alive out there to join Elffie in this chat marathon? =P
Let's try not to let this post hang for over 2 hours, hm? =P

feline thinks it is time to jump up and down on fuzzy until he explains what he means
dictionary.com -> "amator" not found
google.com -> "amator", most of the hits seem to be in russian
what exactly does this mean?
and why is "flattery" not going to get me chocolate???

Hi all
Feline: My Win2k Autoexec.bat and config.sys file are 0 length files.
The changes I made to my path were restored immediately by Loki, god of mischief.
The current status of my quicklaunch buttons is, for lack of a better way of communicating death, a complete lack of doing anything useful at all.
I have reset the quicklaunch buttons using wbconfig.exe and all is well there.
I tried to register smart.dll thinking that it had lost its way and became embarassed. I got the following:
---------------------------
RegSvr32
---------------------------
smart.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.
DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of smart.dll may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
PView does not exist on my computer
If you know where a virginal version of smart.dll may be residing, I could replace the cynical version which may have decided that I was trying to be too smart for my own good, and is now being arrogantly evasive.

Doreen, what do you expect from me? where i work all medical words are handled by 5 character alpha-numerical codes. eg "H33.." is some form of asthma
anyway, that is my excuse, and i am sticking to it

werewolf, this is getting ever more interesting.
i had assumed (sorry for swearing) that the smartbutton.dll didnt nead to be registered to work.
how are you finding out your current system PATH?
my autoexec.bat and config.sys are a similar size. i am getting my path by simply typing "path" into a command prompt window.
i *may* know what is going on with your machine's path, but lets sneak up on it.

werewolf, that is the same way i am doing this, and i dont get all the stardock stuff in there.
time to visit control pannel feline *mannic giggles*
go to control pannel
select "system"
go to the "advanced" tab
check out the "environment variables" button
on my machine there is no "path" listed in the "user variables" window.
and the basic 3 section path i have listed above is in the "system variables" option.
my first theory is that your more complex path has been set up in here.
do you need all the stardock programs in your path?
can you live without them for the duration of the experiments?
the only one i can see off hand you needing in your path is OE, and only then if you are launching it from the command prompt.
i dont have any stardock programs in my path, and they all seem to function fine

Doreen - no excuses I deal w/ international ICD-9's and I spell just as bad... hehe
feline doesnt know what international ICD-9's are
perhaps this is a good thing?
as for excuses, well, i am just the way i am. the word (i will refrane from confusing you with another spelling of it) isnt one i have a lot of practice using
Doreen - but since you're a kat guess I should let you off the hook...
feline *PURRRR*
you can be just so kind and understanding at times
Doreen has to get busy & stop playing on boards today
feline *sigh*

Feline: I have been where you have gone 
I have only one path statement in user variables apparently only for OE. I have 2 path statements under system variables which are system dedicated.
I can certainly live without the SD path statement and have deleted same. I then changed to liquidaqua and the quicklaunch menus are still dead.
As you suspected, OE is still launching when I dbl click a .txt file so the path statement is not needed.

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but the *first* time I click on a ql item, the cursor turns into the 'busy' cursor and disk crunching is heard as if there is something going on, but of course, nothing happens. Subsequent clicking on ql items results in nothing at all.

i am about to go home for the day, so i will be a few hours before i return.
however, in the mean time:
a) changes to the system environment paths can require a reboot to take effect
find the dir your quick launch dir is stored in, and see if it is still there.
*translation*
close ObjectBar
right click on the system taskbar, and go to toolbars. make sure quick launch is turned on.
resize quick launch so that you can click on a clear part.
select "open folder"
you now know which folder it is
of course if this doesnt work then we have a possible solution, along with a new problem *sigh*
is yours in the same sort of place as mine?
mine is:
C:\Documents and Settings\feline\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

yes that is the same path to quick launch for me and it is still there and the regular MS taskbar is showing quicklaunch and pointing to the right place. I made a quick DX quicklaunch bar and it behaves correctly.

If I remember correctly, Amator = lover
Interesting twist to the thread, don't you think?
I was wondering- what degrees do you guys have? I only have an associates degree (2 years), but I just enrolled in a University to complete a Bachelors degree.

Gee, when I left the party started again. I'm getting a complex. I brave this thread and again no one is here. Well Doreen if you pop in again, hi. And, Feline, well thanks for the invitation (are you deliberately tormenting me just because I wanted your nick?) Oh well, think I'll go hide in a corner somewhere until coaxed out.
