DCIMAN32.DLL error message on picasa/yahoo messenger and so on....Windows 7 x64 on Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop....Can someone give me a solution to this one?????

 

You might have a corrupt or missing DCIMAN32.DLL.

Try this:

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories. Right-click Command Prompt, and click Run As Administrator (click Yes if UAC pops up).

In the Command box, type 'sfc /scannow' (no quotes, and note the space between sfc and /). Press Enter.

After the process completes, reboot and see if the symptoms have changed.

 

Caliban, you must be my GuardianAngel....Worked like a charm....You are now my Mentor....WhiteWolf

 

haha - we got lucky.

Glad you got it, WhiteWolf, and thanks for the feedback. :major

 

Now, one more question....Can I hook a keyboard to my laptop to make it easier on my truck????? Just a thought...How's life treatin you tonight???? HappyTrails.... t

 

I'm good, WW - truckin' right along...

More than likely: it may have to be a USB keyboard, as most modern laptops do not include a PS2 connection.

 

Don't know what a PS2 is, but if you could suggest a good brand and what to look for I would be very happy camper....Thanks again....WhiteWolf

 

PS/2 connectors are the generic round connectors for keyboards and mice (picture below).

Unless your laptop has these type connectors, you'll have to use a USB keyboard, either wired or wireless - I've always liked Microsoft products, such as this one or this one. There are also dedicated input device manufacturers, such as Logitech.

If you hit any good computer store or a Walmart, they'll probably have several brands from which to choose. Check them out, see which one feels best to you.

Hooking up a wired keyboard is usually a cinch - with a wireless, you might have to install some software, but the procedure is normally painless.

Since I'm on the truck, I prefer wireless and Microsoft also....I have a wireless mouse now and love it....Thanks for the info....Sorry to drift away from the subject....

 

Make sure you check one out hands-on before buying - nothing worse than being stuck with a keyboard that don't fit right.

You can drift all you want, man - pleasure talking with you. Be careful out there!

 

LOL, don't know, jus called and turned my notice in...lol...I'm sittin at a Walmart as we speak in Shelbyville, Indiana...lol...Gonna go checkem out....I know what you mean...This keyboard on this laptop don't fit and I'm constantly hitting the touchpad with my palm and kickin the cursor off my typein....
