I all of a sudden am having problems with prontoedit. I have tried everything including removing all signs of it from my computer and reinstalling and no luck. It mostly runs fine until I try to access the database. Upon first clicking the ir database button I get this error

PRONTOEDIT caused an invalid page fault in

When I tell it to close I get another error saying invalid page fault in mfc42.dll.

ANYONE have ANY idea how I can fix this??

First, don't do what I did. Philips says to go to windows/system and change the name to MFC42_orig.DLL,but it will only work some of the time. Your better off not doing any of this because it screwed my system up bad. I tried to access the IR data base also. Instead of using the IR to set a code to create a button, use the delay key.

I'm not sure if I said the part about the button right. Use the delay key so that you can use anything from the gallery,and have it show up on the Emulator. If you want to see what changing the name of Mfc42.Dll does to your computer check out my thread titled computer bugs/glitches.

I am really upset now :(
I installed prontoedit on another machine and guess what. It worked fine. I even copied my old rcir.* files over there and the good news is that my old database is still in tact and fine WHEW!!!!!
SOOOO I did a format c: and reinstalled windows 98 and than installed prontoedit and guess what

IT STILL DOES NOT WORK :((((((((((((((((((

Does anyone have any ideas as to WHY this is not working??? I saw some mention in the previous post about upgrading to ie 5 (not sure what your browser has to do with all this but...this IS windows so who knows).

Any and all thoughts are welcomed and BEGGED for.

IT'S WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!
HA HA HA I faked them out.. I deleted that mfc42.dll file and installed prontoedit 1.04 and it put a version of mfc42.dll that is dated differnt (has the same file size but different date) and tra la prontoedit works.

I do not think I will attempt to install 1.05 though.
I wonder though that if one did and than put the old mfc42.dll back after the 1.05 install if that would make a difference. I dunno. I had installed 1.05 on the other machine and it worked with no hitch so I dunno what the story is.. BUT I am working again (thank heavens cause my husband is on the verge of disowning me and claiming he is a widow ha ha ha(

Cheryl,
Since you just reformat your hard drive, I am assumming you have not reinstall a whole lot of other applications. Try to avoid to install the MS Officce 2000 before you are totally satify with your Pronto. When you install MS Office 2000/Access2000, a new version of database engine intergrated in your system.ini - this will trigger and posibly alter any previous installed database property.

I read your thread about mfc42.dll. How did you delete and put in a new version, etc. I'm still having problems with this application. Would appreciate any help in straightening this out. Please keep it simple. Thanks. Ken

Cheryl, I'm still waiting for a responce from you concerning my last thread. Does whatever you did still work? My problem is - after changing the name of mfc42.dll it works one day and then the next day it won't, so I have to change the name again. I have about 4 different versions that I use from day to day . Any help is appreciated.
