LOL! I wonder if it works in reverse also: Pens? PENS?! WTF? I don't need no stinking pens! Thanks...

Is it possible you may have deleted a shared resource? Did you see any popups that say something like xxxx.dll may or may not be used by other programs and then given the option to delete or not? (Sorry, couldn't remember the exact wording) It seems dvd43 may use Nero when burning DVDs. If you search "dvd43 nero" on Google there's a lot of info about this. I don't have a DVD burner yet so I wasn't able to really understand the issues and answers being described, but I imagine you will. Best of luck

I've said it before (everyone is probably rolling their eyes and saying "Oh God, not again") but this is the best forum I've ever been priveledged to be a member of. Everyone here has been patient and helpfull to me and countless others, and especially considering that the vast amount of questions have nothing to do with CCleaner that is saying something. Besides work, school, families, and running other forums, the people here still find time to contribute their skill and expertise here. I know many people often give thanks when their problems are solved, but some don't, and I just wanted to say I hope everyone knows how much people appreciate what they do. The humor and jokes here are pretty good too! OK, maybe not mine...

It's not as cool as it sounds. It shoots out Toyotas from the future. They hurt you and then they make you all better again. Inside Joke

Thanks all! The responses are as funny as the original posting

POLICE WARNING: Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. Many females use a date rape drug on the market called ...Beer. The drug is found in liquid form and available anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, from taps and in large "kegs". Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and have sex with them. A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several Beers, men will often succumb to the desires to perform sexual acts on horrific looking women whom they would never normally be attracted. After drinking Beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that "something bad" occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings, in a familiar scam known as a "relationship". In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewed enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as "marriage". Men are much more susceptible to this scam after Beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females. Please! Forward this warning to every male you know. If you fall victim to this beer and the women administering it..... There are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter with similarly affected like-minded guys. For the support group nearest you, just look up "Golf Courses" in the phone book. For the record, there is no new date rape drug called "beer." However, if the object of the game is to get laid, the procedure as described in the e-mail will likely prove quite effective. A sex-minded lass wouldn't have to go too far through the male population of any given bar buying them beer (we recommend Heineken, because a gal has to have some standards) and offering a strings-free chase across the sheets before she found someone to take her up on it. In most cases, the beer wouldn't even be necessary. Barbara "suds 'n' impact" Mikkelson Found on Snopes.com Interesting site dealing mainly with Urban Legends

You're very welcome, although I started to get worried you might think the snooty "If you do not see any of the above, read your Bluetooth user manual." was me talking I've noticed you go out of your way to try to help people and I always feel kind of bad when someone asks a question and doesn't get an answer. Sadly, I only know the answer about 12.3% of the time... Thanks and take care!

Hello again- I managed to find a program that should update mfc42.dll automatically. It also updates a couple of files mfc42.dll needs to work properly. You can find it here. It's about 2 megs. I tried it on my computer and it seemed to work OK. I guess the problem with this file is so many different programs modify it. Some other suggestions I came across are that there may be many versions of this thing in various folders on the same computer. I had 3 different versions on mine. One recommendation was to do a search on your computer and update all of them to the newest version on the PC. Another was to delete all of them except for the ones in the system folder and dll cache. Not sure either is a good suggestion, though. LOL at DLL Hell andavari, DLL Hell came up a lot Also, do you have administrator permissions on the computer? If you're the only user I would think you do. I hope one of these suggestions from everyone fixes it for you.

Hello- The answer to both questions appears to be "yes." "Serial ports are typically identified on IBM compatible computers as COM (communications) ports." Info Bluetooth uses both a Serial Port and an Information Exchange. "You should be able to see the two COM ports (Serial Port and Information Exchange). Also make sure the node ?Network Access? is started. If you do not see any of the above, read your Bluetooth user manual." Info

Hello. Should that 0 be there after mfc42.dll? If not, you may want to remove it and try to install mfc42.dll again. M$ says sfc.exe is not supported for win me. However, Symantec has a way to restore files with out sfc. Step by step instructions are provided here: Symantec PCWorld has even more comprehensive information here: PCWorld I'm hoping it's just the 0 being out of place... Best of luck

Most of the info I found says this problem is usually caused by the installation of a program that is not compatable with the version of mfc42.dll on the computer. If this happened after you installed a new program, you can try removing the program and then reinstalling it. Supposedly, most programs that need this file will update it automatically during install. If not, your version of mfc42.dll may be outdated and you should install the most recent version. Before trying to install mfc42.dll into the system folder you should make sure no applications are running, including anti-virus programs and any that may be running in your system tray. However, I read somewhere that you may have to install the file from the DOS prompt (not the "RUN" command in Windows). You could copy mfc42.dll to a floppy disc and then boot to the DOS prompt and type: Copy a:\mfc42.dll c:\windows\system If you have an existing mfc42.dll file in c:\windows\system you should rename it to something like mfc42.bak rather than delete or overwrite it. There is some useful info as well as a copy of mfc42.dll here: dll-files.com Although I think this info is correct, I am not nearly as experienced as rridgely, tarun, andavari or many others in this forum. You may want to wait to see if they comment on my suggestion before you try it. Best of luck!

This may explain why Nintendo's new controller may be more interestting than it looks at first glance. If this is old news, sorry, I'm not a gamer... "And while you're sampling healthier fried chicken nuggets with one hand, Nintendo's new Revolution controller will allow you to play video games with the other. The one-handed controller for a game console to be launched next fall is a grip whose motion sensors allow you to direct on-screen movement with real-world actions such as slashing and shooting instead of pressing buttons with your thumbs."

This reminded of another odd bit of history. Can you guess the name of the ship from the following info? A British vessel Constructed of steel, powered by steam It was the largest ship ever built up to then It was called "unsinkable" because it had the latest technology, watertight compartments It was over 800 feet long Three propellors Two masts Capacity of 3000 persons Carried the number of lifeboats required by law, but not nearly enough for everyone Hit an iceberg on the starboard side on her maiden voyage aound midnight in the North Atlantic in the month of April The ship was travelling near top speed, about 25 knots when the collision occurred The majority of passengers perished Final hint: T-i-t-a-n... The ship was called Titan. It was described in a fictional novel by Morgan Robertson called "Futility" published in 1898, fourteen years before the Titanic was built.

Your welcome, thanks for the reply. Hope everything works out for you.

It is Spam and Open Relay Blocking System which is a service that is supposed to automatically block access to servers that have been identified as having been used to deliver spam. There is a pretty good article about it here which includes suggestions for fixing problems it may cause. WinPlanet Hope this helps!

Very funny! Yet kinda creepy and scary too...
