Cannot use the Trouble Shooting

[Mail]

When I use the trouble shooting, I click the problem, and then click the
next step, Then the screen in blank without any solution. Please help!!!!

[Curt Christianson]

t is caused by a MS Critical Update.
The cure depends on what patch is causing you problems. Try this one first.
First, click Start> Settings> Folder Options> View tab, and click to enable
"Show All Files" and click OK.

Click Start> Find> File or Folders, and search the C:\ drive for a file
named Tshoot.inf...it should be found in the \Windows\Inf folder.
Right-click Tshoot.inf and click Install on the menu that appears.
Close the Find Files window and try the Troubleshooter again.

If still no joy,go to this page to get a download that
will get your Tshooters back, but be sure to read the text file that is
enclosed.
http://mvps.org/PracticallyNerded/SoftFixes.htm
The first file on the list.
Post back here to let us know how it worked.
HTH,

There are two different fixes, depending on the Windows updates you have installed.
The original fix for the older update was this:
First, click Start> Settings> Folder Options> View tab, and click to enable "Show
All Files" and click OK.
Click Start> Find> File or Folders, and search the C:\ drive for a file named
Tshoot.inf...it should be found in the \Windows\Inf folder.
Right-click Tshoot.inf and click Install on the menu that appears.

If the latest cumulative patch for Internet Explorer (November) is installed, there
is only a workaround.

Two separate Windows Update criticals took your Troubleshooters away,
for security reasons.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q188867
Troubleshooting Windows 98 Startup Problems. This article contains a
link to what it says is the equivalent of the Windows Help
Troubleshooters...
http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/tshoot
That's it. But, here is how to get them back when offline...

First, "START, Find, F&F, Tshoot.inf"; R-Clk it & select "Install". If
you still don't have the Troubleshooters...

(1) "START, Run, RegEdit"
(2) Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX
Compatibility\{4B106874-DD36-11D0-8B44-00A024DD9EFF}

Compatibility Flags 0x00000400 (1024) <<Dword value 400

by
(a) Clicking plus signs, beginning with "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE",
(b) & ending with "ActiveX Compatibility".
(c) Finally, click "{4B106874-DD36-11D0-8B44-00A024DD9EFF}" itself in
the left pane.
(d) Now, you see "Compatibility Flags 0x00000400 (1024)" in the right
pane.
(e) "Registry menu, Export Registry file".

This will create a ".reg" file of the entire Key that is open...
all the items in the right pane & all sub-keys in the left pane (if
there is a plus sign). Give it a name & location of your choosing, even
to the Desktop or My Documents. Then, to undo the following, you will be
able to simply click that file, to Merge it's contents back into the
Registry.

Actually-- name that one "NoTrouble.reg". It will look like...

....Start.....
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX
Compatibility\{4B106874-DD36-11D0-8B44-00A024DD9EFF}]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400

....End.......

(f) Close RegEdit. You now have an "undo" .reg, named "NoTrouble.reg".
(g) Make a copy of it called "Trouble.reg".
(h) Open "Trouble.reg" in Notepad. Change the "dword" to look as
follows... all zeros...

....Start..of "Trouble.reg"...
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX
Compatibility\{4B106874-DD36-11D0-8B44-00A024DD9EFF}]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000000

....End.......

CAREFUL: That "HKEY" is one line, with TWO spaces only. One between
"Internet Explorer", & the other between "ActiveX Compatibility". Make
sure it looks that way in Notepad, before you click to Save. Also, you
must have an empty line at bottom.

Now, "Trouble.reg" gives you the Troubleshooters. "NoTrouble.reg" will
give you security by taking them away. Remember to undo it, after you
are done looking at the Troubleshooters.


(2) By default, when a ".reg" is clicked, it will Merge into the
Registry. To alter the default behavior: "START, Settings, Folder
Options, File Types tab". Scroll to & click "Registration Entries",
click the "Edit" button, select "edit" in the window & click the "Set
Default" button. Now, when you click a ".reg" file, it will open in
Notepad for examination. To merge it into the Registry, R-Clk it &
select "Merge".

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

Is that a record, or something? Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Too bad messages can't be "pinned" in here, for all eternity...

Hi Bill,
No disrespect to PCR intended, but does he look to see if the OP has been
responded to? Both Glen V. and myself answered the OP within 5 minutes of
each other--with essentially the same fix. Why come by 15+ hours later,
with a response twice as long, and suggesting a Registry hack as well?
I dunno.

I refuse to believe you haven't taken a single critical this time
around!

Mine is an alternative method, Christianson! It involves two little
..reg's, and has helpful data regarding "Registration Entries", how to
fix it's default setting. It also has an URL to Windows Help, for those
so fearful as not to want to activate Help even temporarily. This is a
top-notch Master Post, with too many benefits for me enumerate here!

[Bill in Co.]

Nope, not yet. I believe I am enjoying the lack of added MS shackles or
browsing restrictions, as a consequence. Meaning that I believe I have
more "unencumbered" web browsing, at this point in time. Until - and if -
I start jumping on the (seemingly endless) MS security update bandwagon once
again. I dunno...

But I am also quite diligent about what web sites I visit. Remember, I'm
on a dial up modem, so if anything fishy is going on, I can (usually tell by
watching the modem lights icon in the systray coupled with any suspicious
(and sudden) sluggish browsing experience.

You are correct PCR! Things are not going well here today, and something
set me off. You didn't deserve that kind of criticism under any
circumstances. My sincerest apology.
BTW, <doppelganger>-- *where* do you find those words?

You'd better load up on third party apps, then-- virus scanner,
firewall, spyware scanner. I've never had a virus that spoke up about
it, but those other two caught plenty. Well, after the first run, SpyBot
wasn't getting much, either. Now, I've uninstalled that one, & tightened
Cookie controls in IE6.

Can we call this Win98's version of "Battle of the Titans"?
Those who had ring seats certainly got their money's worth.

Doppelganger is a perfectly ordinary word if you've ever
spent time watching "scary" movies. I don't watch them, but
I see the advertisements.

"Doppelganger" came out of "The Night Stalker", a Darrin McGavin series
of the 80's I think. Fine; you are forgiven.

Don't hide your age--it was the 70's, and not the late 70's either! LOL.
I only know that 'cuz my grandma told me about it(mm's nose grows).

[Gary S. Terhune]

It's much older than that and has been grist for *many* sci-fi and horror
stories for a long, long time.

I'm having a more difficult time than usual researching this, but while it
appears from various definitions to arise from German mythology, the closest
I can come to anything definitive is this citation:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0198159048/qid=1086800652/sr=1-10/ref=sr_1_10/002-3273122-3372820?v=glance&s=books

Says the word was first used in literature in 1796 by Jean Paul in his
novel, "Siebenka".

The term has also been used quite extensively in psychology and/or
psychiatry (neo-Freudian, mostly), and as a synonym for astral body in more
mystic usages..

I'm only going by the stories of my grandma, too. The 70's, then, fine!
