Cannot copy files 2

[reghakr]

Anne,

Add the lines below into the Exit To Dos file in the Windows directory. There are options here for autoexec.bat and config.sys. Go to c:\windows, right-click on Exit To Dos choose Properties, click the Program tab,click the Advanced button, check MS-DOS mode and specify a new MS-DOS configuration.

Here's a sample for autoexec.bat
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000

Here's a sample for Config.sys
Device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000

You can use the generic oakcdrom.sys from the Win98 boot disk. Just copy it to c:\windows\command and you can use the above exactlty as it stands.

This is commonly caused by an incorrect or corrupted version of
ole32.dll and/or the related files olethk32.dll and compobj.dll.
Typically this results from installing an application that improperly
overwrites one of these files. Also, reinstalling Windows 95 without
first uninstalling IE4 can sometimes cause problems with these dlls:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q174/5/49.asp

There are at least four reasonable methods you can use to get back
the proper dlls. Here are your alternatives:

METHOD 1: Appy the DCOM update for Windows 95. This includes the
latest OLE files, as well as many other updates:

http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom95/download.asp

METHOD 2: Install the OLE update for Windows 95. This is an older
update than the DCOM update so the file versions may not be quite as
current, but it's a simpler fix since it only updates three files
instead of the 30 or so files in the DCOM update. You could try this
method first and then method 1 if it doesn't work.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wurecommended/s_

wuservicepacks/w95ole32update/default.asp?site=95

METHOD 3: You could re-extract the original ole32l.dll and related
files from your Windows 95 CD. This will result in older file
versions than the other methods, but it may work if the other methods
are unsuccessful. Most likely you will need these three files:

ole32.dll from win95_09.cab
olethk32.dll from win95_10.cab
compobj.dll from win95_09.cab

As a last resort you could replace ALL the OLE files with the CD
files using the following bat file (suggesed by Walter Zachary):

FOR %%A IN (MINI PRECOPY WIN95_02) DO EXTRACT /Y /A /E /L
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM D:\WIN95\%%A.CAB OLE*.DLL


METHOD 4: Copy the three files mentioned above from another computer
with a current working installation of Windows 95.

you can try this as a last resort if someone else doesnt come up with an easier fix.. but you will need to go into your registry!go to:

I know Bluelight is one of those &quot;free&quot; providers and has screwed up people's systems before.

But what is Costco? Same type of software?

reghakr

 

[Anature]

Smittee,Thanks for the detail info. I got a copy of these three files from my friend and it's still not working. I decided not to touch the register file again. I am too nervious about something I am not familiar with.
reghakr, Costco is a warehouse type of store in California and one time they gave free internet service to all the members. It was powered by Spinway and was fine. Spinway went out of business during Jan 2001 and I started looking into other free ISPs. Bluelight was the problem one, I installed many times (never worked) during January and finally uninstalled on Feb 1.

I really appreciate everybody's help. I have to accept this wired problem and be happy with the good old DOS copy/xcopy commands. anne

 

[reghakr]

Anne,

I'd recommend downloading RegClean and running it. It is the safest regcleaner there is. Here's a link with more info:

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,4666,tk,cxTop10,00.asp

RegClean
This utility cleans your Registry of unnecessary entries that were created when you installed or uninstalled programs on your computer. This release of the utility fixes a few problems and creates an &quot;undo.reg&quot; file so that you can undo changes you inadvertently make to the Registry. Just run it and choose Fix Errors.

Backyp the registry by going to Start>Run, and type scanregw. Choose Yes to the question and proceed with the suggestions below.

If you're not using the &quot;free&quot; providersd any more, I would then go to Start>Run, and type regdit. Go to Edit>Find and type in terms such as spinaway or bluelight or costco and delete every occurance of them in the registry. Keep hitting the F3 key to find all instancs of them.

Tried simple drap and drop on my system. Used regmon and Filters set as follows:
Include: dra* (show only events this name)
Exclude: *.*;st*;bl* (suppress stimon and Blackice, my firewall, and all events except for above)
------------------------------------------------------------
Regmon log output showed this...I have context shell PowerArc so all drags default through it..
============================================================
63.58270480 Explorer QueryValueEx 0xC18BB5A0\shellex\DragDropHandlers\PowerArchiver\SuppressionPolicy NOTFOUND
============================================================
In my machine
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\{d03d3e69-0c44-3d45-b15f-bcfd8a8b4c7e}

I thought perhaps you may have a key as such which disallows you from dragging and dropping.
A long shot but easily enough checked. Obviously search for &quot;suppression&quot; in your registry

MS article belows describes option more thoroughly..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although the Open With command is above the first separator, it is automatically created by the system and doesn't require a registry entry. The system automatically creates display names for the canonical verbs open and print. Because doit is not a canonical verb, it is assigned a display name, &quot;&Do It&quot;, which can be selected by pressing the D key. The printto verb does not appear on the shortcut menu, but including it allows the user to print files by dropping them on a printer icon. In this example, %1 represents the file name and %2 the printer name. You can ignore %3 and %4 for Windows 95 and later systems. For Windows 3.1 systems, %3 represents the driver name and %4 the port name. Unlike most similar arguments, the %3 and %4 arguments of printto should not be enclosed in quotation marks.

Verbs can be suppressed through policy settings by adding a SuppressionPolicy value to the verb's key. Set the value of SuppressionPolicy to the policy ID. If the policy is turned on, the verb and its associated shortcut menu entry are suppressed

There are two possibilitoes. One is to reinstall or upgrade Internet Explorer. Not Repair. Reinstall or upgrade.
The other is to download and install DCOM98
Are you running Win98? I thought I read that you were.

Are you rubbing it in..?

http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom95/download.asp

 

[Mosaic1]

Smitee,
No. If you knew me you would know I don't do that. Never have. I see that was mentioned. DCOM 95 Sorry. I do agree with the assessment. This was a long thread and I must have missed that. At any rate, there's damage to that part of the system as a result of a removal more than likely. Applying DCOM or resinstalling IE Through an upgrade would probably cure it.

 

[smitee]

Mosaic

Should have said LOL...I get carried away once in a while.
Love this stuff though and someday might get it right..

BTW, Does the fact Anature is using Netscape rather than MS product have any bearing on his problem? Buddy of mine considers Netscape 6.0 not particularly good compared to new 6.1 version.

This has been a long thread and I hate to see it end without a successful resolution..

Regards

Smitee

 

[Mosaic1]

Good question, but I think not. Internet Explorer is assimilated into the Operating System. Using Netscape is not causing the lack of function.

I think the uninstall was it.

 

[Anature]

drag/drop still not working!

I ran RegClean and took out spinway,...
I got DCOM98 and checked the version of each file. I do have the same versions on my system. I did replaced my ole32.dll d olethk32.dll and compobj.dll. I don't see the reason to run DCOM98, I'm afriad more problems popup. (I have windows 98se).

: X-) s-)

 

[smitee]

Glad to see your still kicking..!

I wish you would try this out again Anature..
I have reviewed all the posts and now ask the more experienced user's to check their own registry...

I have the following CLDID Keys in HCR:
---------------------------------------------------

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BDEADF00-C265-11d0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}]
@=&quot;Web Folders&quot;

---------------------------------------------------
You said you did not.. If I was more experienced I would remove the key and see what happens. Perhaps one or more of the seasoned user's could evaluate this observation.

Wrapping up...

This Drag'n Drop article refers to third party software BUT it seems germane, and was a specific remedy for the problem you have.

Note that the advice refers to HKR and not [red]HKLM[/red]..

Start regedit
Locate the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BDEADF00-C265-11d0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F}\ShellFolder
See if the Attributes value is a8400000. If not, change it to this value.
Save the registry and exit regedit.

[Swamphen]

Smitee, I think the above registry keys are connected to the use of webfolders, like the Infotip of the first key tells us.

Anyway, I removed the keys and after rebooting I could still (drag and drop) and (copy and paste) files.

In my humble opinion I think the answer can be found somewhat earlier in this thread. Anature told she could drag and drop to briefcases and the recycle bin. So, maybe the key to the solution is the difference between HKR\Briefcase-key and the HKR\Directory-key? Just a mere guess of course.

Anature,
Having files is great. However, you need to install DCOM to repair any corrupt files and repair any possible registry damage and to add missing entries. I know you are afraid, however, if you don't try it, you won't gain anything.

 

[tsuji]

Hello, Anature.

Normally, should not go through all that much. But, as you have confidence that your ole components are coherent and of the right version, I would suggest you re-register the ole32.dll which should be placed at c:\windows\system.

Click out Start | Run and enter successively the commandlines one at a time :

regsvr32.exe /u ole32.dll <hard enter>

regsvr32.exe ole32.dll <hard enter>

See if it suffices to bring back the function.

regards - tsuji

 

[Anature]

Hi tsuji,

Did the first command (regsvr32.exe /u ole32.dll ) and got the following message:-------------------------------------
old32.dll was loaded, but the DllUnregisterServer entry point was not found.

DllUnregisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of ole32.dll may be in
memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it.
--------------------------------------------------------
I won't do anything more until I hear from you, thanks! anne

 

[mscallisto]

At this juncture does anyone have a problem with simply re-installing Win 98 and Netscape?

 

[reghakr]

One last try:

Check your version number of ole32.dll. I'm running IE6 w/Win98, my version is 4.71.2900. Go to Microsoft's DLL Database to get the correct version for your operating system.
