got it! thanks! so - if I was to put sigMan on - I'd need to track down that file somewhere. That is interesting that it doesn't put it on.... crisS ----- Original Message ----- From: ~OoO~ To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2003 11:51 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: TABCTL32.OCX Its an ActiveX control. You only need it if you're running applications or programs that use it. In my case, I was trying to run SigMan (which Keyboard Cowboy introduced us to for auto-changing the email signature). Sigman requires this file plus a few others. I honestly thought SigMan would have installed them. I ran SigMan at work with no problem. So, when I get into work I'll check to see if it was already there or if SigMan put it in there. In general, if a program uses it, they should usually put the files in and register them automatically for you. That's why most people didn't have it. I just thought it was a set of other more important files... in other words, I though my system was compromised somehow. With 4 servers running 24/7 on my second computer, which is networked to my main computer that I'm using now, that possibility is always on my mind. :::Troth ::: ____________________________________ Computer driving you nuts? //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk ____________________________________ :::Original Message :::Sent Sat, 4 Oct 2003 11:04:25 -0400 by cris | so - why is it on some systems and not others? what is its purpose? | did you put it on yours? | Cris | ----- Original Message ----- | From: ~OoO~ | To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2003 10:26 AM | Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: TABCTL32.OCX | | No... its not a *MUST HAVE* or *SHOULD HAVE*.
