I have downloaded a tv weather web site. Everything was working fine, until last night.
I tried to access their "local radar" and I got and "http 500 internal server error internet explorer".
I loked this up on web, and found it wanted me to copy 2 dlls.
msvcrt40.dll and msvcirt.dll. It didi nit say wherre to copy them to. The web site is in my favorites. I tried this and got nowhere.
Then I got another error message about missing library. Again I went to Microsoft information, and it wanted me to use "regsvr.exe to solve problem, I tried to follow their directions, but nothing worked again.
Now when I try to access the "weather web site" I get a "server application error". I can work around this by going to their regular web site, and then picking "weather", but when I try to access "local radar" i get the "server application error". I am able to access every other accesss such as "regional radar" and have no problem. what is the solution to this problem? It would be appreciatedif this was answered in english and not Microsoft talk, which is lost on me. Thanks for any help you can give.

Did the same with Weatherbug, which by the way, wants to download spyware, when you first installed it did you say yes to there software download, did you read the contract area before you downloaded? Go back to there site and read it. Probably buried somewhere is a line that tells you that they will collect info on you, more than just a Cookie. Try Uninstall and see if you get your computer back, if there is any Shared files, do not delete them, they are the files you list in your problem. Some other application uses them also.
Regsvr.exe is a registry problem, I downloaded Registry Mechanic, shareware, and it helped. If you have any tools like Norton Utilities, run it an see the results.
Also go to Start Menu, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information. It has a list of problem areas that will help you access what might be going on.
I deleted the software and everything cleared up, and I mean Uninstall, never dump anything in the trash.
Good luck, Kim

First ensure that your AV is current (if Norton then it should be Norton 2003) Run a full virus scan. If the AV turns up clean, next hopefully you're running Win 98 and not 95 or ME. If 98x then go to start/programs/accessories/system tools/system information. When this starts run check system files. Most OEM systems have the 98 cabs copied to the HDD and the registry modified to look to the cab location. So if windows finds a corrupt file restore it if it prompts for win98 cd you'll have to insert it so have it handy before you start. If this turns up clean the do a search for S&D on www.google.com this should show up a spybot utility called Search & Destroy follow the links to download the utility after installation run the programs update to get latest dat and help files then run a checkup on your system read carefully all the "problems" that it will find and remove only those that you feel comfortable removing. (While in system information you may want to also run the registry backup tool before running the search / destroy app)
