Guide UsersAfternoon Bill

Many thanks for your reply- this time I hope to be a bit more specific.

I first checked on what version of GUIDE 8 I was running and it returned "17 Jan 2012 version"

So I went and downloaded what I think is the latest version of GUIDE 8 and installed it and when I asked what version it was it returned "16 August 2011" version - where did I get the 17 Jan 2012 version ?

I then installed GUIDE 9 in the same directory - and it overwrote the following files as the GUIDE 9 had later versions:

ephelpext.dat
string.dat
legend.dat
add.mpc..something ( cant read my own handwriting!)
Guide 9 version 18-01-2012 with Guide 9 version 09-02-2013
lunar.dll

I then ran GUIDE 8 and got the error message "ordinal not found"
"The ordinal 31 could not be located in the dynamic link library lunar.dll"

uhmmm... so Guide 8 wont run.

However I am now able to run GUIDE 9 with no error messages - so not a problem about GUIDE 8 not working-

Ill just remove GUIDE8.exe from the GUIDE8 directory.

No error messages etc about putting a CD in etc.

Hope this helps
Many thanks
Greg

Um. Well, that has me baffled... if anything, running the new version should make Guide
somewhat smarter about not asking for the Guide disk. (Actually, the "fix" occurs as soon
as you've installed the latest Guide 8 software, and remains when Guide 9 is installed:

http://www.projectpluto.com/update8.htm#shutdown_fix

I'd recommend backing up your Guide folder, then trying to apply the latest Guide 8
update and the Guide 9 update. If you do see an error message, please let me know what it
was; I can't make anything out of "ord".

Also... it would be interesting to know if the problem occurs even if the Guide disk
_is_ in the DVD or CD drive.

Also... anyone else seeing this issue, and have any details to mention? I've been
unable to replicate the bug, which makes it _really_ tough for me to fix it!
