I’m not sure why yet, but two machines that I have installed firefox 1.07 on are crashing on startup. I’m figuring it is an imcompatible extension as it seems stable until the extensions are loaded. A new profile fixes things but it is rather annoying. I’ve lots of extensions so it is taking a long time to test them, especially as you have to restart firefox each time you change an extension 🙁
Following on from my previous post about offline files and client side caching , I can confirm that the newer version of csccmd1.1 works a treat and solved our problems. It took me about 50 minutes on the phone to Microsoft (which was nice as it was a sunny day in the park in the middle of Columbus) before I got through to someone who wouldn’t try to tell me to download the file off the website which is the old version that I already had with limited capabilities. As the kb article 884739 mentions you have to speak to PSS and as the file is not a hotfix you can’t get it from the hotfix team. I ended up speaking to the Enterprise support networking team to get the file (after the personal support and the business support were unable to release the file to me).
Information Improvisation
Not everyone is at ease in a computes and software shop. This is why the majority prefer to download software. In rare cases do they bother making a trip e.g. for purchasing microsoft office software edition 2007. Other software tools are preferably taken from freeware sites. The same is the case with mobile phone software.
It turns out that if Windows XPSP2 is not compatible with cstext32.ocx and cscmd32.ocx (bundled with Great Plains software and others) and that you will often get a message saying that cstext32.ocx and cscmd32.ocx could not be registered quoting an error number 0x80040200. The official solution is to obtain a patch from the vendor and some vendors, such as hy-tek are more forthcoming than others.
I doubt it will be long before I start to get hits from Google on this as there are not a lot of solution pages out ther but a lot of problem pages!
The Coppermine thread has the details. It’s a fairly easy edit of one file to make the changes quickly, or you can download a new installation.

The office had a tailgate party at the Columbus Crew game on Thursday night and it was a good idea to go and meet with the people I’m working with and their families. I had a great time with everyone and spent a lot of time reminiscing with one of the wives who had lived in England when she was a girl. The only down side to that was that I started missing some of the things we were talking about (mainly food items!). The funny thing was that she remembered half pennies and pound notes which have long been scrapped by the Bank of England.
Crew were winning until extra time when New England scored an equaliser but in that half the Crew goal was at the far end of the field, noone cheered and we didn’t even realise a goal had been scored.
The ironic thing about the whole night was that the first time in my life I go to see a football (sorry but there is no way I’m going to start referring to it as soccer) game it is in America and not in England where I’ve lived for 33 years AND it is at the Crew Stadium when I used to work at Crewe.
As I’m sure many bloggers have posted, firefox 1.07 is out and is a security fix. (I’ve not read many blogs yet and I’m about 3 days behind). However as Steve pointed out they ask you to install into a new directory. I thought they had fixed this kind of hassle around the version 0.9 days. Out of interest I did an inplace upgrade and its behaved ok and removed the 1.06 (that I installed yesterday) onto the machine – or at least as far as add remove software from control panel it did remove it cleanly. Shockwave and flash installers offered to install into the 1.06 installation too so something is not quite right.
I’ve had this problem before and I don’t think I had blogged about it, but when you delete a server that has shares that are set up to allow client side caching (offline) use then you run into major problems when clients can’t see it anymore.
This blog post has *all* the details you need to know about the csccmd utility but do the following:-
csccmd.exe /MOVESHARE:\\oldserver\share \\newserver\share
csccmd.exe /RESID
The csccmd.exe file is available from the resource kit and a newer version from pss
Now hopefully when this happens again in the future I’ll be able to find it in the blog. For the first time in a long time I searched for a solution that I know I had come across but for some reason I had not blogged it. Bad brownie points for me this afternoon (but good ones tomorrow if this solution works 🙂
Kristen and I cooked Roast Beef and yorkshire puddings on Saturday from about 3 different recipes but this page has the complete recipe. We’ve not cracked the pudding recipe yet though.
From what Kate says about the Toronto gig, U2 played a good concert with lots of audience participation. I’ve never been to one of their concerts but would really like too, but tickets are so expensive and difficult to get. Incidentally Kate, your comments are not working with a “You need to define a comments pending” error message. Unfortunately this blog is also getting hit with trackback spam – not a good sign for a MT 3.15 installation which I thought was meant to make it harder for this thing to happen.
