Lotus 123 + organizer - OLE

(1/2) > >>

andreas:
When starting Lotus 123, I receive the message:
"Error initializing OLE"
The Organizer informs me:
ASWAN_ERROR: (Error 65535(0xffff): E_UNEXPECTED - Unexpected failure. ASD UNCHANGED)
WordPro and Approach are running without issues.
I have reinstalled SmartSuite, but the problem remains the same....

using pmdll i find in org32.exe org32B red
in org32.dll i find TZBack32 red  (TZBack32.dll shows no red dlls) and LTTMR11 red (also LTTMR11.dll shows no red dlls)

123w.exe shows no red dlls


Steven Levine:
Hi,

I can't find my notes on this, but I dimly recall that one needs to run RegRx in the Lotus Accessories folder to fix this.

RexRx rebuilds the values in REGISTRY.DAT that SmartSuite depends on.


andreas:
oh i tried that. but that didn't help.
btw, i had the same problem some years ago and couldn't solve it.
same as last time i did a complete reinstall of os/2...

Dariusz Piatkowski:
I seem to recall that the SOM.IR file that sits in \os2\etc, when corrupted, can cause Lotus 1-2-3 all sorts of problems.

My experience certainly can attest to this.

Here is what I have on my machine:


--- Code: ---Directory of G:\os2\etc

 6-30-99  4:28p       496,503      0 a---  SOM.IR
        1 file(s)     496,503 bytes used
                   44,077,031 K bytes free

--- End code ---

EDIT
====
I forgot to add, the SOM* files exist in other directories as well, such as:

1) \os2\etc\dsom
2) \os2\system

Not sure to what extent, if any, these may be impacting you, but as I mentioned above I did take to making a backup of the good & working known compies in case they every "go away":

It's been a while though, and some of this may have been precautionary backup as I installed things such as VisualAge CPP, etc.

andreas:
But i did a complete new install of the smartsuite.

before that i tried to delete all the *.ir-files (it needed to alter the lotus entries in the config.sys before). But that didn't help.
