Caution: An unrelated piece of software called Borland Database Engine also creates a BDE directory. If you think you may have this software installed, or if there is any confusion whatsoever, do not delete this directory. 2. In the "Temp" directory (this will normally be found inside the "Windows" or "WinNT" directory) is a folder called "Brilliant." This contains many files. Delete the entire folder. 3. After performing steps 1 and 2, you will need to locate and remove some additional Brilliant Digital files that have been placed in critical system-level computer directories. CAUTION: Deleting the wrong files could interfere with the normal functioning of your computer. These files will most likely be in the "Windows\System" or "WinNT\System32" folder: bdedownloader.dll bdedata2.dll bdefdi.dll bdeinsta2.dll bdeinstall.exe bdesecureinstall.cab bdesecureinstall.exe bdeverify.exe bdeverify.dll Delete these files. |

never changes) and then whenever you need to put specific date-dependent or guest speaker information in a brochure, you type up just those parts and use the shells as the stock to photocopy the new data over. I felt like I must have stepped into Mr. Peabody’s Wayback Machine. For about five minutes, we were having the exact same conversation we had had over two years ago! Some day maybe we’ll finally listen to Charlie. It seems like a good idea…. Closing: We wrapped up the business portion of the meeting with brief but far ranging discussions on spam, cameras and DVD. Finally I noticed that Alan had been standing for several minutes with his head twitching towards the door. Mother Krauss didn’t raise no slow-to-catch-on young’uns, so I got up and led the shuffle out the door. |

One evening recently I went to Macromedia's web site and purchased the upgrade to the new version of Flash, Flash MX. I ordered it for both immediate download and to have the manual and CD shipped to me. As soon as my order was confirmed, I downloaded the program from Macromedia's web site (it was a 45 MB download; I'm really glad that I have DSL!). I started the installation program on a PC that (still) runs Windows 98se. The installer went through three dialog boxes; the third was the InstallShield startup window. However, when its progress bar was finished an error dialog box opened with the messages: "Incompatible version of the RPC stub" and “The installer will terminate” and an OK button. This is an unusual error message, to say the least! RPC means “Remote Procedure Call”, and is usually involved when running things between PCs across a network. I was just installing one program on one computer, though, granted, I am on a local area network at home. |
