I have been having a problem with the rage3d forum. every time I tab to fill in my password IE5 and IE5.5 hangs, but then comes back after about 5 minutes. Additionally, Outlook express when opened does not appear (but is running in taskman) for a similar length of time. I have narrowed the fault down to this MS knowledge base article: Q251787 As it is for win9x and has no reference to win2000 it may be out of date. Therefore I have no way of knowing wheter or not I am missing files!

What I need someone to do is look for the following files. I only have the pstorec.dll file? is this correct, or do you have them all?

Psbase.dll

Pstorec.dll

Pstorerc.dll

Pstores.exe

I can't do the first option because it hangs... and I can't do the last because I have no pstores.exe to re-install protected storage!

Any help much appriechiated! :)
 
I will search for it when I get back home...

I suggested you try Option 1 first, but instead of using COntrol Panel -> Internet Option... delete ALL your cookies. If I remember correctly, the Auto-Complete feature is implemented using cookies, so deleting or temporarily move ALL of them may help.

Do not do the Pstore thingy as it seems to be for Win9x only!

Last thing I can do is to send u those files and then you can copy them into ur system32 directory. Then goto Computer Management -> Services and application -> Services -> Protected Storage to either Start or Restart the service.

HTH. :)

I have the files off the cdrom, but its still screwd up, so I'm going to remove IE5 and outlook express and re-install them. Somehow. If that doesn't work I'll wipe IE5, and OE as everyone else uses netscape anyway. I may try doing a system repair though.
