b. in the "All or part of the file name", type: "*.wab" (without the quotes).

c. define the area look in to include your local hard drives, and then click search.

NOTE: If you find more than one .wab file, make the following changes for all files.

d. click the file .wab you find. On the file menu, click Rename.

e. Type "oldaddress.old" and press ENTER.

f. open Outlook Express and check.

Step 2: Edit the registry and save dll files

a. click on start-> Run, in the Open box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) and then click OK.

b. navigate to the following registry key and delete it:

-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB

-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WAB

c. Remove wab32.dll and wab32res.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System

d. Click Start-> Run, in the Open box, type "msimn /reg" and then click OK.

e. Click Start-> run, type "regsvr32 «c:\Program files\Common Files\System \wab32.dll»»

f. Click Start-> run, type "regsvr32"c:\Program files\outlook express\oeimport.dll.

g. click on start-> run, type "regsvr32"c:\Program files\outlook express\wabimp.dll.

Important: The above mentioned steps show you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

    This problem may occur if you do not have permissions for the file or the location of the file, if the file is located on a site that is not accessible at the moment as a network location or an external drive that is not currently connected to the computer or your antivirus software may block the file.

    I just got this from Adobe support.  Close all windows and start with a new browser window.  Go to < www.prodesigntools.com >.  On the right side of the window, there will be a small box labeled «direct download links»  Click on 'New CC 2015' and when it starts to download cancel the download.  Then, right-click on the "Lightroom 6/CC" link and open in a new tab scroll down until you find "BOLD" topic "Adobe Lightroom 6/CC direct download links" and then click on the link for the version you want to download, Windows or Mac OS.  It's a slow download, maybe 2 hours or more depending on your speed of connection and internet download.  When the download is complete, you will need to extract the files and install the program.

    It is 22:00 Tuesday evening, and I am downloading right now in the Middle, waiting for results.  I would like to hear the techie I spoke with tonight some time tomorrow and I will let him know if it worked.

  • Display driver hangs on the computer and the error message "display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."

    Original title: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 display driver has stopped working and recovered.

    Hiya,

    I have recently installed Windows 8 Pro, installed all of my usual applications etc..
    The problem I've encountered is maintaining display driver crashing. Or have waiting periods. The exact error message reads;
    "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."
    Until now it expires randomly even when the computer is idle, and more frequently when I watch videos online. Also, watch a clip full screen on some sites like YouTube is ok, but on others, it is very laggy (updated maybe once per second the image) and the sound is out of sync.
    I can't find a way to properly uninstall the graphics driver.

    At least yours is working semi... I have the GTS 450 (uses the same drivers) and the mine does not at all... Stuck with the regular game pilot integrated ATM and can not all games... Microsoft told me to wait a few weeks and for the reminder and Nvida said 10 ways to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for same. Hope someone with to get a fix for this soon.

    Hi guys,.
    Looks like this isn't just me.
    Just an update, that I can not confirm it as a solution, but I have not encountered any problem (a little screenlag aside) since the installation of the drivers beta. For me, the beta version of the driver is 310.33, R130. The only other change to my system updates Adobe Flash version packaged with Google Chrome to 11.4.31X to 11.4.402 to eliminate serious problems when you watch the video in full screen.
    Information system;
    Operating system: Windows 8 Build Pro with Media Center 64-bit, 9200
    CPU: AMD FX-8150 eight physical cores

    Edit: Still not falling down, 11/02/12, 4 days

    New edition;

    If you still receive the error message, try the following steps;
    Has. try to perform a clean installation of the driver.
    Download the latest drivers for your graphics card. Run the downloaded file, and select "Custom Installation". In the next screen, you will see a checkbox or similar labeled "Clean Install".
         

    You can do so by visiting nVidia Driver Downloads (www.nvidia.com/Drivers). Automatically detect the right driver or download using the form. The best way in my opinion is to use the GeForce experience, who will do anything for you in two clicks and a reboot.
    B. close all other programs
    It is possible that the error was caused by too many programs that need to use the resources provided by the graphics card/chip. It is also possible that a certain program caused a conflict that pilots crashed.
    You can try closing some currently open programs one by one and see if the error persists, or restart your system with disabled startup programs and allow them one by one to find the culprit. If the error is too persistent to do the above, it would be easier to start in safe mode option.

  • My Lexmark printer stopped working and the error message says "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?).

    When my printer stopped working because of error messages about "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?), I tried to change to 2nd USB port without success. I tried a new cable; that did not help.

    Then I uninstalled and reinstalled my Lexmark printer and changed the error message. Now, the printer does not work because "the USB device is not recognized."

    I tried to update the chips; Use 1 USB port; and using the old cable, all this without success. I checked the connections of the cable to the printer and the PC and turn on the printer and goes off; I'm out of ideas. Any other suggestions?

  • Cannot turn off automatic updates and the Error Message on Loadup and Peridoically subsequently

    The following error message appears when the computer starts up, when I click on "check for updates", when I try to turn off the automatic updates in the preferences and at random times.  In the preferences, more precisely, I am able to choose the area that must go out looking for updates, but when I try to save the setup I get this exact error message.

    -----------------------------

    AdobeARM.exe

    The procedure entry point CreateProcessWithTokenW is not found in the library of Hotlinks ADVAPI32. DLL.

    -----------------------------

    The computer is an old laptop running Windows XP.  I think that it's Windows XP is a key reason why the error occurs.  That said I can't replace the laptop right now so I would turn off rather updated.  I've updated to the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe Web site.  The new version added a 4th checkbox in the section to turn off the automatic updates, but I always get the same exact error message.

    Is there a hidden Windows Settings folder I have can be directed to Adobe Reader?  A file where I can change the automatic updates option from 1 to 0 to turn it off?  Because the software does not work.

    Please, create the following registry key:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown]

    "bUpdater" = DWORD: 00000000

    In addition, you can run msconfig (via the Win + R), go to the Startup tab and deselct point of 'Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager' (which corresponds to the process AdobeARM.exe), press on apply and restart your machine.
