 =20 Why a blog for computer disasters?As computers becopme more and more
suscep= tible to bugs, virus attacks and other threats, the publishers of
SoftwareDaily[1] and HardwareDaily[2] have started this new blog. We are at
p= resent working on a solution for the hundreds of users who have been
affect= ed by problems arising from attempting to install the Internet
Explorer 7 b= eta.This often removes functionality from a wide range of
programs, which a= re looking for two new DLLs that the IE7 install should
have placed in the = Windows/system 32 directory.We have found a source for
these files and at t= he present stage of our quest for a solution we have
found that downloading= them remedies some (but not all) of the problems.We
have provided Microsof= t with details of these files and where they may be
found, but they have re= fused to distribute this information, since IE7 is
in beta and they do not = provide technical support for beta
products.However, a check with Google re= veals the unprecedented extent of
the problems arising from this beta, and = if Microsoft will not make
solutions available, then we must remedy that om= ission. Hence this
blog.Please let us know of any disasters you have suffer= ed - and,
hopefully, of any solutions you have found. You can post them as = comments
to postings on this blog, or send them by email to
disasters@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[3]. We regret th= at we cannot enter into
correspondence about any such postings which will b= e published "as is",
with no guarantee of their veracity.In this, as in all= things regarding
computers, extreme caution is recommended.
