FLASH: CHERI's ASP DB problem

[mbain]

I know this might be off topic - but it could affect other flashers later and it

surely affected me:


Cheri, I think this is the fix I used way back then .....and I bet you you have

IE5 on that system ...hehehehe...oh and ..let me know if this fixes your problem

:o)


***

Who might have this problem

                            Systems running Windows 95 or Windows 98 equipped

with PWS 4.0 and accessing a database using ODBC.


                            There were no reports of this problem occuring on

Windows NT.


                            What caused this

                            When Internet Explorer 5 was installed, it updated

all ODBC DLLs as well as the ODBC Administration menu. When a ASP

                            script opens a database, it seemed to leave threads

running in both the PWS and the operating system, causing the above

                            symptoms.


                            Several developers/acquaintances have also reported

this problem, while others claim everything works fine. The following

                            solution should only be implemented if you are

experiencing this problem.


                            Solution



                            Find your PWS installation files (on the Win98

CD-Rom, D:\Add-ons\Pws)

                            Double-click (open) Odbc.cab

                            Select all the files, right-click then click Extract


                            Extract the files to C:\Windows\System

                            In C:\Windows\System, delete the following files:

odbccp32.dll and odbcint.dll

                            In C:\Windows\System, rename odbccp32.dll1 to

odbccp32.dll and rename odbcint.dll1 to odbcint.dll

                            Reboot your computer.

                            This extracts the original ODBC files and overwrites

 the faulty ones. There have been no problems with this solution although it's

                            an unofficial fix.

                            The word from Redmond...

                            This problem is not discussed in the Microsoft

knowledgebase nor is it acknowled ged by Microsoft. An official solution or fix

will

                            be posted here once it is released by Microsoft.
