[Biggie]

Can any 1 tell me why when i try to bring up extra smilies i Get this message

A run time error has occured.
Do you wish to debug?

Line:418
Error:unterminated string constant

yes no



this has only happened since I got XP

Ps it does it on some other web sites

pps I can just cancell it and still use the smilies but it's really annoying

download java machine and install ti m8

[Biggie]

Where would you reccomend to get this from

downloaded one from sun microsystems hasn't made any difference

try'd to download one from microsoft(windows service pack 1) but kept coming up that my licence key was invalid, probebly somthing to do with it being a copy

any other suggestions m8

[The Frog Meister]

try kazzaa or something like that...... you must have on of the main stream leaked keys.......


#I think that you are pretty much stuffed...... try launching a search for windows XP java machine or check the XP CD to see if it''s on there

I can e-mail u java for XP. -BUT- I think youre problem is derived for a small app that installs along with MS Office, if you have Office installed all you need to do is run a search on your hard drive and locate and exe file called mdm.exe then delete it.

It may sound drastic but believe me, I do this on all our machines after installing office (complete install) as mdm is none other than machine debug manager and basically just jumps and generates a small report and so forth of any minor issues found....basically its toss n bollocks so bin it

got a copy of java off kazaa didn't make any difference

but have got office on my computer so tried what you said myk but it tells me access is denied when I try to delete it

[Myk]

Yeah you need to hit alt-cntrl-del and find mdm on then list and finalise the blighter first before trying to delete it, you cant delete it if its in use...which it always is. Its in the processes tab list thingy.


Catch my drift ?

got rid of the mdm.exe file

still comes up with the runtime error tho!!!!!!!!!!!!

is it just the mdm.exe file I delete or all files with mdm in them

ere m8 u need java console i was gettin same prob...get all the updates for ya comp from microsoft updates thing i'll dig the link out for the java console if ure still after it.

You could also try updating you Visual Basic runtime files...the latest are here I think : http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...VBRun60sp5.exe

That may help.


As far as MDM is concerned mate it was just the .exe you need to delete, unfortunately it didnt solve your issue, but youre still much better off without it anyway, so no harm done at all

jamie already downloaded the java machine off kazaa can't get all the downloads off microsoft because my windows is a copied version cheers anyway


myk just updated my visual basic runtime files from your link cheers but sorry to say doesn't seem to have stopped the problem looks like I'm going to be stuck with tthis little defect

What serials you mean ?

If you mean cracked/pirated software...try and keep it to PM's.
