=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. --= Posted by Karl to SoftwareD= aily[4] at 8/01/2006 08:36:00 AM --- Links --- 1 2 3D"http://hwd= 3 3D"mail= 4 3D"http://swd=
