!!FIX!! for <<cannot see connection options>> ((WIN2k/ME))

[wiseduck]

Ok, so i can't see any connection types?

EASY! *requires you not be an idoit with the registry*

 

heres fix:

goto the startmenu>run>regedit

 

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Service Providers\Internet TCP\IP Connection For DirectPlay\

 

change value of *PATH* to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\dpwsockx.dll

 

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Service Providers\IPX Connection For DirectPlay\

 

change value of *PATH* to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\dpwsockx.dll

 

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Service Providers\Serial Connection For DirectPlay\

 

change value of *PATH* to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\dpwsockx.dll

 

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Service Providers\Serial Connection For DirectPlay\

 

change value of *PATH* to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\dpwsockx.dll

 

EOF - your done.

<<hopefuly your NT/ME/2k is on C: if not change that duh>>.

 

 

heres how i figur'd'd it:

read pervious post bout some directX error So I checked out Dxdiagloe (eek speeling)

it reported :

dpmodemx.dll

dpwsockx.dll

both missing.

*also it said Missing under registry in one of the columns*

did quick scan of WINNT folder found them in it under system32

pop'd open regedit and found that its said "c:\windows\system\*file*" rather than "c:\winnt\system32" which is the basic dam differance bettween win9x and win2k/me I believe for folders doH! who managed this mistake!?

so easy fix...

 

 

!geek gods! thanks for regedit that opens to same spot every time and the fact m$ gave us dxdiag.
