Problem of Windows character map

How can I reinstall Windows XP (SP3) charmap.exe? My system is missing 'C:\windows\system32\getuname.dll '.

Normally, charmap is installed using the Add/Remove Windows components tool:

Panel-> Add / Remove Programs-> "Add/Remove Windows components" (left column)-> click on "Accessories and utilities"-> details-> click on "Accessories"-> details
Place a check next to the 'Table of the characters' and 'OK' or 'Next' your way out.

C:\windows\system32\getuname.dll, which is used by charmap.exe, is one of the files protected by Windows File Protection.  It should be quite difficult to remove from your system.

In case you cannot reinstall charmap in the normal way and somehow there no copy of C:\windows\system32\getuname.dll anywhere on your hard drive (it must be in BOTH c:\Windows\system32 AND c:\windows\system32\dllcache (the latter is a hidden directory)), here are two possibilities for you:

If you have a c:\i386 directory, you should find getuname.dl_ there.  Use the Expand command in a command prompt window to extract and unzip the files:

Expand c:\i386\getuname.dl_ c:\windows\system32\getuname.dll

then copy the file to the c:\windows\system32\dllcache

If you do not have a directory c:\i386, download c:\windows\system32\getuname.dll from my skydrive--> http://sdrv.ms/12gg5Eu
Put in c:\windows\system32 AND c:\windows\system32\dllcache

  • How to use the Windows character map with the Arc keyboard?

    When I "Select" and "Copy to Clipboard" character as a checkbox and then enter any rich text field, it is for some unknown reason, out with the bad temper, that I did not choose. I don't think it's related to the Arc keyboard fault, since I do it only with my mouse ArcTouch.

    My "copy to clipboard" feature has always worked well in the past until I installed this Arc keyboard and the copy function continues to operate properly with anything but Windows XP Pro SP3 32 Character Map.

    So I want to try to enter a character by typing the standard code for the character... but the Arc keyboard doesn't have a "Numlock", because it does not have a dedicated digital keyboard and by the statement, you cannot use the number keys "at the top".
    "Product Guide" for the Arc keyboard is not very useful except on how to plug it in 28 languages.
    Is there a work around these two examples?
    Thank you.

    Someone told me that you can not add whatever it is wiped from the map of characters in a field of type text such as Notepad, that she must be rich text applicable as Wordpad. Not true..., I guess?
    Oh well, it's here where I got to go to... [Is it safe? [I'm going to cross that off my list].

    I forgot to say in the last post, & slipped a character of the fonts map does not either, on most of the trials if he drag & drop is of course the bad character and it is not just "Wingdings", but several I tried.

    When you say "characters in some fonts like"Wingdings"and"Symbol"will not display properly if changed to a different font - even if the code is correct."

    Can you help me understand what that means or how that could happen or what I can do to change the font?

    When I choose a check mark in the Wingdings font and then enter it here, it's: [u]. I don't know I wasn't looking to change police in Wingdings to something else between selecting and placing it here.

  • problems with Windows 7 mapping network drive

    I bought a new computer to work today. It's a HP Pavilion Slimline s5220f. Works on Windows 7. All our other computers working under Windows XP. We have an external hard drive that acts as a file shared for the organization. (We are a small non-profit and rather rudimentary.)

    I have problems to connect to our "shared drive" - the reader 's' - where all our shared work files are kept. I have connected a hundred times on other computers, but can't seem to get it right with Windows 7... What I do usually it is right click on the 'my computer' icon and click «map drive network...» "Then I put in '\\filecabinet\shared' and he asks a log on and password... I checked the log on and password - everything is correct. When I enter the log and password, I get a message saying that "the specified network password is not correct".

    I spoke with two different people at HP. Nothing has worked. I really need access to these shared files in order to work. Help me!!

    After authentication on your Windows 7 computer, is there an indication of a field in the dialog box? (If not in a domain, your computer name is represented by a colon after it.) Well, if so, your computer tries to authenticate with domainname\username instead of only User_Name. It gave me trouble when authenticating to a SAMBA file server. Try plugging a "\User_Name". Your computer name should disappear when you type the backslash.
    Warning: this was tested on a Windows 7 machine company. This trick should also apply to Win 7 pro. I don't know about other editions if.

  • Setup of Windows XP do not have Outlook Express and Character Map installed along with

    I keep my windows XP updated regularly and would always Outlook Express and the table of available characters. Then I uninstalled a few components such as games and discoveries windows Outlook Express was gone too. When I add Outlook Express even once, I lose the Character Map and when I re install the character map, I lose Outlook Express. Cannot have both at the same time! Any ideas?

    Thank you, Bruce.  I finally got the two programs running again. I discovered that when a user archive boxes to add or remove programs, the action is fast, but the boxes are not automatically disabled later. I tried two programs that run several times over a period of 24 hours, and because the check box of the character table is a sup layer I guess I must have missed at a time when the audit or boxes to uncheck it to the rest of the changes I made.

  • How to make a star of five strong points by using the character map?

    I can't get a solid star of five points of the "character map". I tried all the fonts that have a star, and when I paste, I get a different, but no star character. I tried the system, to get the characters using the 'ALT KEY' and the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard, but, here again, when I type the code for a solid Star (9733 in the list that I got on the internet) a different character appears. I have Vista and use Firefox. I tried to use 'IE' but still have the same problem. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thank you

    Hello Cor - el, I thank you for your help. I used some of your information, and after going to different websites, I found one that had a small application that allows me to insert the star.

  • Help! Symbols of editor press (a font in the character map) is missing! ... and I really need it back!

    After a reinstallment need of Windows XP on my laptop hpPavillion and the reinstallment of Microsoft Word 8 I found that one of my most favorite fonts, "Symbols of press writer" is missing.  I had a lot of different symbols used in almost all word documents I had created for the past 5 years and I am very worried that the backup files containing these symbols will be ruined.  "Symbols of writer press" is a font I found in the CHARACTER table, System tool under the Accessories heading. My questions are:

    1 - does anyone know if CHARACTER MAP is on the operation or on the Application and system recovery disk recovery disk driver?  or is it in the recovery of Microsoft Works 8 disc?  If it's in one of those, I'll try reinstallation/recovery and, hopefully, get it back.

    2 will be ruined my backup files?  I haven't tried to recover my backup files again, fearing that I am that they are not available.

    3. download the specific font?  From where?

    I'd appreciate any help you can give me... It has been very frustrating... Thank you very much for your help!

    Dear Wunders, finallly managed to find PressWriter symbols fonts!  Thanks to your suggestion, I have ckd with Broderbund, but the police couldn't get them... instead, one of their representatives of clients suggested a search yahoo... I foundwww.ufont.com there the police, it was easy to download and install (but I had to be careful because I followed the instructions)!  Now he is back at the table of characters, it is available for all my past (and future) documents, and I learned to have more fonts for my computer... quite a trip, but worth it!  Thanks again!

    When I type my emails using special characters, for example "$- + = % sometimes even Live Mail change my characters to a reverse with a top character."  And it it changes between the time wherever I sends it and receives the other person, so I never really know if they receive a message scrambled or not.  I never had this problem with Outlook Express.  What can we do about it.  I use this for business and it is absolutely unacceptible.

    You have made the right choice to reject the call. It's a SCAM well known and is FALSE. Microsoft and partners will NEVER user calls unless you ask them to call or to open a support case. On the other hand there is no way for Microsoft to know who has a problem with PC. Take a look at:
