Hi!

I d/l de windows version of Moray to try it out and when I tried to run
it. It told me that my COMCTL32.DLL drivers was to old to use with Moray
and told me to d/l the updated version from Microsoft. Now I couldn't
find the file anywhere on the Microsoft homepage but managed to find the
file elsewhere(but if you know where I'm supposed to look I would
appreciate for futur needs).

Right now the real problem is that windows will not allow me to exchange
the file as it is protected. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

I you use w95, you should update that driver the 'official way', that
is, so the OS does it. I translate now from german, don't know, if the
words are exactly the same, but open menu 'start', go system
(-control?), click on Hardware, press next, disapprove proposal to
look for new hardware, press next,  click on button disk and open with
it's browser the directory, your new driver is in. Select it and the
OS will look wether it's a newer version, and if so, will make system
entries to use it at the next boot.

  Yes the common control driver "comctl32.dll" is in use during Win95
operation and therefore Windows will not let you change it. From the
Microsoft site the file you need is "40Comupd.exe". This will update the
file automatically.

On the other hand, if you simply have the latest version of "comctl32.dll"
(439kb 11/17/97) then you have to load it in a DOS session. Reboot to DOS,
use DOS commands ("copy", etc.) to copy the file to your Win95/system
directory. When this is done, restart Win95, and the new drivers are in use.
Hope this helps.
