Tom_q2356,
The looky-loo's are attracted by my great legs.
The wsock32.dll file appears to be the genuine Microsoft article.
I'm a little concerned about you not having any kernel32.dll file as it handles memory management, input/output operations and interrupts.
winsock.dll performs the same functions as wsock32.dll except it handles the chores for 16 bit applications.
The fact that you are not apparently having any issues caused by the unavailability of these files, makes me hesitant to try to "fix" them. I suppose that it could be that you aren't having network connection issues because you aren't running any legacy programs.
I suggest that you give your machine a good workout for a day or two and then let me know if any issue arises. Truthfully, at that point I may have to pass you over to the knowledgeable members of the Tech Team for support, but either way, there will still be a little housekeeping that we will need to do here.
Haha, you are absolutely a very humerous person to talk to.
Regarding kernel32.dll, I remember someone here long ago told me that it was temporarily removed by Avast or something like that. And then it will return to the system itself from Avast, I don't know how that works, but that was kind of what I can remember. Like I said these three ".dll" things were my computer's old problems, there was a very long time I had to let avast scan, delete and reboot, and then more scan delete and reboot just to keep my computer running good, and the whole thing was pretty frustrated.
So I think a good workout for a day or two won't make any big difference because of my experience in the past. Having said that, I am now ready for the next step. House keeping. and then you tell me what to do later… Thanks so very much for your great legs.
I just run into a new problem. Well, I tried to copy and paste your last response into my dailydairy and then I tried to delete some extra stuff and all of a sudden I got this message "list index out of bounds (-1)." Now because of that message I cannot read other pages of my dairy anymore. Please help. Thanks.
It is Idailydiary 3.52. I did the reboot and it still won't go away. I made a research on this and also found people who have problem with this "line index out of bound (-1)". It is the first time in 10 years I've ever gotten this kind of error message.
Tom_q2356,
Apparently this was a common error with this program that was supposedly solved back in may of 2006 with version 3.2
I haven't found how it was solved yet. I'll keep looking.
Unfortunately, TomK, the scan took forever and still I did not see any sign of uploading. It was simply hanging, says "uploading, please wait…" and just nothing happens even after 20 or 30 minutes. ???
Strange. I have to use a different browser to open this website. and it looks like it is going to take a very long time. Also over an hour now, I do not see anything moving and I am still waiting… Is it really going to take that long? About how long?
