XyWin now working! Microsoft solves problem shock!

[Paul Williams paulw@xxxxxxxx]

In the interests of the XyWin community I must report that Xywrite for
Windows is now working again on my computer - and I have a Microsoft
expert to thank for it.


Because I had XyWin working on another computer I was able to provide
Microsoft with a log of activity from both the good computer and the bad.
These logs list every activity in the computer as it looks at files and
the registry and does things that computers do. They are made by a MS
facility called procmon.exe (downloadable from MS) - they are the
successor to regmon and filemon which were independent
utilities.


By comparing the two the expert determined that certain dlls were not
being successfully called, and could be corrupt. The first step was to
clear a cache, which was done by using RUN sfr /purgcache


And no further action was necessary! XyWin swung into action.


If the list wants I can provide the logs so that they are available for
anyone else who ever has this problem and doesnt have the advantage of a
computer with a working XyWrite.


Thanks for all your input, and I apologise for feeling obliged to
actually praise Microsoft.


Paul
