PWS revisited...


Cheri, this rings a bell for you huh !!!


Myself and Cheri had this problem and this fixed the problem for us:


***

Who might have this problem

                            Systems running Windows 95 or Windows 98

equipped

with PWS 4.0 and accessing a database using ODBC.


                            There were no reports of this problem occuring

on

Windows NT.


                            What caused this

                            When Internet Explorer 5 was installed, it

updated

all ODBC DLLs as well as the ODBC Administration menu. When a ASP

                            script opens a database, it seemed to leave

threads

running in both the PWS and the operating system, causing the above

                            symptoms.


                            Several developers/acquaintances have also

reported

this problem, while others claim everything works fine. The following

                            solution should only be implemented if you are

experiencing this problem.


                            Solution



                            Find your PWS installation files (on the Win98

CD-Rom, D:\Add-ons\Pws)

                            Double-click (open) Odbc.cab

                            Select all the files, right-click then click

Extract


                            Extract the files to C:\Windows\System

                            In C:\Windows\System, delete the following

files:

odbccp32.dll and odbcint.dll

                            In C:\Windows\System, rename odbccp32.dll1 to

odbccp32.dll and rename odbcint.dll1 to odbcint.dll

                            Reboot your computer.

                            This extracts the original ODBC files and

overwrites

 the faulty ones. There have been no problems with this solution although

it's

                            an unofficial fix.

                            The word from Redmond...

                            This problem is not discussed in the Microsoft

knowledgebase nor is it acknowled ged by Microsoft. An official solution or

 fix

will

                            be posted here once it is released by

Microsoft.

Subject:  FLASH: OT:Personal Web Server





I am trying to incorporate ASP with Flash and I am practicing using

Personal

Web Server and my Win98 box. The problem is that PWS only allows me to

execute one page without hanging, the second time I try to execute a page,

it just hangs and I end up having to reboot my machine in order to execute

another ASP page. This only happens when I am opening a connection to a DB.

I can use PWS without problems for as long as I like until I open a

connection to the data source.


I am using an Access DB with an OLE-DB connection. I am having the same

problem when I use an ODBC connection though. Has anyone encountered a

similar problem with PWS?


Thanks in advance for any suggestion and sorry for the slight OT.
