We recommend that you should use WinBackup
2.0 Standard to backup your files.
You downloaded a software and when you try to
run it, you receive a "missing file"
error like this...
What's up with
that ?
A particular file (e.g MFC42.DLL
or COMDLG32.OCX
or any other) is missing.
Developers sometimes assume that most people have
those files, however if you don't download very
often and don't use a lot of software other than
what came with your computer - you may need an
additional support file here and there. Microsoft
releases new "Run-time" files every now
and then, they allow software developers to make
use of the latest technology when creating new
software. In order for YOU to use these programs,
you need to update your Windows system with these
files. Many software products requires the VB6
Runtimes or the earlier version, the VB5
Runtimes.

Runtime Environment
Java is a programming language just like Visual
basic, C etc. However, in order to run programs
written in Java on a Windows computer, you need
to install the latest support files, the Java 2
Runtime Environment from Sun. You only need to
install the JRE once, then you are ready to use
any software that requires the JRE1.3 or Java2
(same thing).
