Own source code browser/editor
Submitted by admin on Thu, 2002-02-28 12:36.Win 9x/NT/2000
Microsoft Internet Explorer
There is not allowed in MSIE user settings of external source code browser/editor. Default is NOTEPAD.EXE where is famous 64kB file size limitation. Browse is possible to change using parameter HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor\Editor Name. Problem comes when your editor don't know how to open long file name containing spaces. MSIE cancatenates key value and name of file. E.g. Programmers File Editor takes spaces as field delimiter and tries open more files. IE6 works fine and wrapper cannot be used.
Corrupted system\COMCTL32.DLL
Submitted by admin on Mon, 2001-12-10 11:25.Win9x
Windows
Random errors in shared objects, e.g. mouse moving over desktop raises exception. Causes due change in COMCTL32.DLL file. The file had equal size and date but part of then was overwritten by garbage (probably when system crashes). Find original file on installation floppy (CD) and rewrite it (probably IE or Windows).
