I have a problem that needs a solution

Everytime i log on to the internet, I get this thing that pops up and says:ipworks6.dll is not working. Reinstalling this program may help the problem. Its a rectangular box that pops up quite often. any solutions to what this is and what too do? and what is ipworks6.dll? what does it do? How do I fix it?

 

Greetings, MASTERJEDI688.

"ipworks6.dll" is apparently used by /n software's IP*Works C++ platform.

Do you have any C++ development software loaded?

 

Actually the problem has been fixed. I believe from what the tech told me, it had to do with IE. so I downloaded FF. so lets see if this works. But just in case, I'm not sure if i have any C++ software on my pc. Can you give me some names so that I can check?

 

Apparently, the problem has NOT been fixed. While logging on to the internet, The rectangular box popped up again with the same message saying that ipworks6.dll is not working. Reinstalling it should fix the problem. Question is, I don't know what C++ software I have on this pc. Is there some way to fix this pop up so it doesn't keep popping up?

 

Try going to the malware forum and downloading ccleaner. It gets rid of registry errors. It's possible there is an invalid reference in the registery. It happens sometimes when a program does an update that involves an uninstall of an old version

That dll has been associated with windows and other programs, like Adobe. It's apparently quiet common.

There is also a malware that uses that dll name. Have you recently cleaned out or quarantined malware? It might have left a registry entry behind that ccleaner should clean up for you.

 

try this, go to the properties of the network card and uncheck the tcp/ip ver 6 and reboot the system. then go to the properties of your network card and put the checkmark back in and reboot your system. try that for a bit and see if the error pops up again. or you can leave out asmost systems work just fine on the old vesion of the protocal

 

Mastserjedi has another thread. I think we solved it with an uninstall of the Verizon ISP support software.

 

Go to the properties of the network card? What properties and Network card? Or you can leave out as most systems work just fine on the old version? Can you explain all this a little more please because I really need to get rid of that damn pop up. I still have it popping up.

 

Gemini is saying that older computers used to have one option in the network card properties for TCP/IP. It's a line in the property page, usually the last one, that says Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (which is actually version 4)

The newer computers now have two lines,
Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

Hardly anything in the US uses v6 yet and it's not necessary in order to have a connection. In fact, some users have reported issues or bugs with having v6 turned on. Since it's currently not doing much, if anything, it's a common troubleshooting step to uncheck that in the properties page of your network cards.

 

How do I get to the properties Page?

 

Take a look here.

 

I have windows XP not windows 7. Is there another solution?

 

Ok, on re-reading the thread, it seems to have nothing to do with TCP/IPv6.

Back to Caliban's original reply . Is your ISP Verizon? If so, try reinstalling their software.

Do you have an old version of A2/A-Squared installed?

Do you have any non-Windows networking software installed?

 

Yes Verizon is my ISP. What is A2/A Squared? To tell you the truth I've just about had it with that pop up. I've decided to just ignore it. It really doesn't interfere with my surfing the internet. sometime in the next month or 2 we will be switching to a new ISP. so for now, I'll deal with it. But thank you for replying to my threads and offering solutions.

 

I really thought that Verizon program might fix it. I'm out of ideas now too, sorry.

 

Don't worry about. Thanks for replying to my thread.

 

I thought the REGcure was a Freeware product. I think I'll try the other link. hopefully its a free product. Thanks again. If you know of a really good Registry cleaner/repairer let me know.

 

Ok the Driver detective is not free either. How do I remove the folder for both of them from my Program Files from Local Disk: C?

The Regcure file is damaged or corrupt and I can't remove it from the Local Disk: C. How do I remove it?

 

Looks like you followed some random advice there,try to uninstall Regcure and Driver detective.

The real fix to your popup problem lies with the Verizon software, either uninstall or reinstall it.
