Works 4.5 crash on file load

Posted: 21 Aug 2007 07:18 PM PDT

Zippy24oz,
I remember that the XP SP2 upgrade changed something that prevented the
following keys to work properly in your PC. This was done as a security fix.
The only way that I have been able to make Older versions of Works and
Office, that came out before the SP2 upgrade, to work. Is to disable the
following keys, by altering the name of the following keys:

You will need to Press START button> Run> Type: regedit> Edit on Toolbar>
Find> Search for the following keys.

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image
File Execution Options\htmlmarq.ocx

Changed name to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File
Execution Options\oldhtmlmarq.ocx

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image
File Execution Options\htmlmm.ocx

Changed name to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File
Execution Options\oldhtmlmm.ocx

See the following article:

You may need to do a "Repair installation" of Works 4.5

Thanks for responding David. I tried the patch today, no change. Well, I
haven't checked the SS date stuff. If I'm in the 2K years for a change that
will be nice.
Thanks!

the box Microsoft Works 2002© 1987-2001 and Windows ©CE 1996-2001.

I think you can build up quite a good picture based on what someone says
and on their posting patterns. I don't think "The Internet" (capitals, no
less) is as opaque a medium as you make it out to be.

: It is not easy to determine the validity of all information on The

: We do have the problem, pointed out by someone else, of the possibly
: "too perfect" textbook characteristics of what is being posted.

I explained that one, but I don't mind explaining it again (you don't
mind having it explained again to you, do you now?). The reason my
"symptoms" are such a perfect fit to the textbook is because the people
causing the campaign "fitted me up" in such a way that what they did
would resemble the symptoms of schizophrenia. Hence TV, radio, other
media, people in the streets etc. By a fortunate coincidence (for them)
these mthods of harassment are the ones which offer easiest channels of
access (for them).

It's really quite neat. All it takes is for people to start believing
that the "symptoms" aren't symptoms but reality, though, and the house of
cards collapses in a heap. And there are _lots_ of people now who knoiw
full well what has gone on.

Picture the scene at the airport;
"I arrest you for being Mike Corley and mailbombing people"

"But my name isn't Corley. Who he? Mailbombing isn't illegal is it? You'd
have to lock up a lot of people if sending annoying email was a crime"

"Er....."

: context-free parts of articles, conversations and things-on-the-TV and
: assume they are meant for you. Mike, this is called paranoia.

But that's the way real abuse works, too. People interject words and
phrases into what they say which they know will have meaning for the listener.

And sometimes, they make it obvious. The very first evening of my job in
Oxford, we went for a drink with the technical director, and a couple
of other employees. The TD said in an "as-if" aside to one of the others,
"Is this the bloke who's been on TV?" (he said it directly in front of
me, and obviously meant mke to hear him saying it). The other person
replied, "Yes, I think so".

I think the subtext of what the TD said was "Why are they bothering with
him? He's so insignificant, why would they possibly want to spend the
resources going after him and putting all that expensive technology in
his home, when there must be much better targets?". The Technical
Director was given to sometimes disrespecting people, you see, and in my
case he couldn't see the point of anyone expending money on harassing me.

"Unprecedented" hits the nail on the head. It _is_ unprecedented, but we
have only just reached the technical stage at which it is feasible, and
we know video-spying is done to other people (NB the Diana-Hewitt
episode) and is a routine tool of security agencies.

Perhaps what is unprecedented is not the technical side, but the social
manipulation of many people by a concealed element in what other
countries would be called the secret police. The most disturbing element
is the degree to which people allow themselves to be unquestioningly
manipulated by an evil element within the state.

ms works database

Posted: 18 Aug 2007 06:40 AM PDT

Hi Vince,

I would assess that you have Works 8.5 on your new box.

This keyboard shortcut is reportedly removed and other similar
i.e. [ Ctrl + : ] and [ Ctrl +Shift + : ] .

Help with Works 8.0

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the info. I had not thought of using a database. That is
working splendidly.

Thanks again,

Hi epdma,

Perhaps you can achieve this with a new Report within the same database.

In Addition. a filter can extract the particular records you require,
if these are different from the Detective Bureau list.
