    I use a site that allows me to send cards to people.  I am a member and have paid my dues.  When I look at the animated map and click on continue that it does not do.

    I get a message from the Internet window explore who says "I want to close this page" if I say yes, it me bumps back to the previous page and allows me to send the card, if I say no, it remains open.

    What I want to do, it is to continue to write my message and then contacted the card.  I do not have this problem in the past and have not been able to reach a satisfactory solution.

    I opened the internet options on my internet explore and played around with some of the options in respect of the security.  It doesn't seem to help.

    Under Internet Options go to the Advanced tab and click the reset, it should reset all settings to factory default on your IE.

    If the problem is caused by a defective setting, this will take care of him. It will remove all the addon and toolbars, if you corrupt addons, this method will also take care of it.
    You will have to reinstall any addon is using the Web site you visit. (but after you have reinstalled the necessary addons, you should be fine).

    Hi Adam1996,

    Follow these steps:

    Check your hard drive for errors

    1. Click Start, click run, type cmd in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
    2. At the command prompt, type chkdsk/f and press ENTER.

      Note If you receive a message similar to the following

    The type of the file system is NTFS. Cannot lock the current drive.

    Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    Press y and press ENTER, and then restart your computer.

    1. When Chkdsk is finished, close the command prompt.

  • Receive the error message that dciman32.dll is absent from Windows 7

    Hello. I've restored my PC to a point of different starting about a month ago and there was an error when I rebooted it lacked dciman32.dll. I downloaded it on the internet (it has been dated to 2004) and put in windows/system32 and it is more showed the error when I rebooted it. I was wondering if it had anything to do with a DVD program that I can have installed. I've also cancelled it until the point of origin at a time given and which did not help either.

    So I've not had a problem since, and now I want to install H & R Block to do my taxes. I get the following error message:

    The program cannot start because DCIMAN32. DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.

    I have searched here and doing a scannow from the command prompt and rebooted but it didn't help.

    What should I do to reinstall this file?

    Thank you.

    Finally solved. I need to copy the file into SysWOW64 not System32.

  • I get a message that my system will not load Windows 8 Preview Release. Why?

    My computer is a Dell... It has 2.40 Ghz processor and 1 Gig of Ram... But it tells me my computer will not load Windows 8... Why?

    Can anyone explain that?

    Yes, your CPU or the motherboard doesn't have the ability to run hardware D.E.P., so there is no chance of running the Preview Release of 8-all somehow.

    There is the possibility to set the nx or xd bit in the bios and the cpu to support it as well.

    TBC: Run CPU - Z and say please use the exact model (details) of the processor, it says you have.
