I haven't been able to reproduce this problem on any computer with any version of AIM or any operating system. I'm fairly certain I didn't change the dependencies. I'm going to make a dependency list and post it here. Tell me if you're missing any of the files.

These are all the controls referenced by my program. You need to have ALL of them for it to work properly. Each file should be located in C:\Windows, C:\Windows\System32, or C:\Windows\System

Uses1=msvbvm60.dll
Uses2=OLEAUT32.DLL
Uses3=OLEPRO32.DLL
Uses4=ASYCFILT.DLL
Uses5=STDOLE2.TLB
Uses6=COMCAT.DLL
Uses7=scrrun.dll
Uses8=MSCOMCTL.OCX
Uses9=MSCOMCT2.OCX
Uses10=comdlg32.ocx
Uses11=TABCTL32.OCX

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find what might be causing the recent problems. I've gone over all the code I changed. (Please note that this program has a LOT of code -- enough to fill a small novel of 350 pages or so). I didn't save an older build, and I'm beginning to regret it. I also noticed another problem I need to fix. When the program actually decides to work, if you click no on the activation alert, it continues to pop up every time you run the viewer. That should be an easy fix, but as for your other problems, I'm still looking.

Edit: Ok...I released another revision (v 2.2.2 -- I've passed AIM+ in version number

). Perhaps it will work.

i'm having the same problem that dadink was having. When I first open up your history viewer from the setup installation, it works fine, but I can't open it up otherwise. When I try to open it up from AIM, I hear a sound that's like a program error and it won't open. I had the latest beta version of AIM and I thought maybe that was the problem, so I re-DLed AIM 5.1, but the history viewer still doesn't work. I also installed the "required files" and the VB installer files that you said to install, but it still doesn't work... what am i missing?

But mine works now. I have AIM 5.2.3139. It wasn't working with the latest beta.

Try running the history viewer from its shortcut instead of the AIM+ menu in AIM. (Start->Programs->AIM+->AIM+ History Viewer) Tell me if you still have the same problem.

I tried to download the replacement viewer but it says
"Run time error '339': component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid' when I click setup. did I do something wrong?

It's already been mentioned numerous times in this thread. Master Jedi is trying to figure out why it happens.

go figure · Post by **go figure** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 3:38 pm

Yeah, even when I go to it from the start menu, I still get that program error sound and it doesn't open.

I already have the answer to this particular question...you're missing one of the required controls. Download this zip file and extract it to %windir%\SYSTEM32 (where %windir% is the path to windows, usually "C:\Windows" or "c:\winnt")

Try this:

Run regedit. Browse to the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Big-O\AIM+. If any o the following values are present, remove them:

ActivationCode
HisViewAutoParse
HisViewLast
HisViewLookBeforeParse
HisViewPass
HisViewRecycle
HisViewStartUp
MergeHeadBC
MergeHeadFC
MergeHeadFontFace
MergeHeadFontSize
MergeHeadOrient
StatDateFormat
StatGraphHeight
StatGraphType
StatGraphWidth

Extract the attached ZIP file to your AIM+ path, overwriting the file if it's present. (It's the default settings.)

Also, as I said in my above post...you need to have ALL of these files present in your system32 directory. They total over 4 megs so I can't post them. Copy this string and paste it into a search of c:\windows\system32:
msvbvm60.dll;OLEAUT32.DLL;OLEPRO32.DLL;ASYCFILT.DLL;STDOLE2.TLB;COMCAT.DLL;scrrun.dll;MSCOMCTL.OCX;MSCOMCT2.OCX;comdlg32.ocx;TABCTL32.OCX

go figure · Post by **go figure** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 4:16 pm

oh. I get it. Ok, I extracted the file into my AIM+ folder. and I did the other stuff, too. It still doesn't work..
