General Computer Support / Forcing VBRUN300.DLL registration in Windows 10

« on: March 18, 2020, 11:05:27 am »

I have a small 16 bit program I really like and have solved a lot of problems to get it to get it to run on windows 10. ( Humour me) ;-}}
However when I try to open the settings menu I get a VBRUN300.DLL error.
I think the issue is registration of the file and when i try to register it i am told it may not be compatible with the computer I am using (Windows 10 32 bit)
and to check if it is compatible with x86 or x64 regsvr32.exe.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Restore Does Not Work

« on: October 09, 2019, 03:12:23 pm »

I have a Windows 7 Computer on which system restore does not work.
At first I thought I was doing something wrong but after going to Safe Mode and trying it there and searching for information on the web I came to the conclusion
it has never worked. It creates restore points but no matter what I do it will not restore to those points.
I was advised to boot and go to the repair option and do a repair but I am wary. I have tried that before and things have not gone well.
Has anyone ever run into this issue and what is the solution if any?
Thanks,
Chuck

Now I am told "You don't current have permission to access this folder and refers me to the Security Tab in the Properties for each folder.
Since I don't have the knowledge to fool around with these settings, I decided to try running Tweaking.com Windows Repairs Permissions repair.
I did so and it didn't fix it

General Computer Support / Windows XP Computer Locks Up at Windows Screen

« on: April 16, 2017, 01:38:14 pm »

I tried to do a non-destructive repair as described by Fred Langa and now I cannot boot my computer. (I had done this in the past with no problem)
It does however boot into safe mode but when I tried to do a restore, there were no restore points shown.
I disconnected all the usb devices i have hooked up, and that seemed to change the point at which the stop takes place.
Help!
Thanks, Chuck

General Computer Support / Wireless Network cannot get ip address at boot-up

« on: October 14, 2013, 09:02:02 am »

Under Windows XP sp3, for reasons which I cannot explain, this problem began a couple of days ago.
I can get it to connect by doing a power reset of the WRT54G v5 router and then quickly doing a repair of the wireless connection before the router finishes booting up. This usually results in a connection.
Also, now, my wireless mouse doesn't work till I get it connected????
I ran the  Tweaking.com All In One repair item #12 "Repair Winsock and DNS Cache, but, that didn't fix it.
Can anyone suggest further steps to repair this?
Thanks,
Chuck
