[M-Man]

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me with these please,

PIFSvc.EXE-ENTRY POINT NOT FOUND THE PROCEDURE
POINT-ISMYSPACE COULD NOT BE LOCATED IN DYNAMIC LINK LIBRARY
MSUCR71 dll.

And also I get this error message.

INTERNET EXPLORER SCRIPT ERROR
LINE:1
CHAR:1
ERROR: OBJECT EXPECTED
CODE:0
URL file://documents%20and%20settings/all%20users/
application%data/yahoo/yop.html

someone can help me put them right.
Thank you for any help.

What were you trying to do when you got those error messages, please, Margaret?

Can you post a screenshot of the message when it comes up please?

[M-Man]

Kite, I dont know what I was doing :D:D
they just appear when I switch on and the Script error one
stayes on, even when I click the red X button.

Dave, How do I do that :D ? silly me.

[KiteRunner]

Does your computer normally open Internet Explorer automatically when you start it up, and take you onto MySpace? I'm just guessing from the only words I recognise in those error messages that it was trying to use Internet Explorer to load MySpace!

(Perhaps I should mention that it was me who did the title of this thread so I don't know if it's correct...)

[KiteRunner]

Googling for PIFSvc.EXE says it is something to do with LiveUpdate Notice Service. If that's any help?

[KiteRunner]

As for how to take a screenshot, you press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard - then open Microsoft Paint and click on "Edit" then "Paste", then save the image. Then you can upload it to Photobucket or whatever so that you can post it up on here.

[M-Man]

Thanks KiteRunner, I don't remember anything about myspace, I must have clicked something
I do know I do click on the live updates when asked.
Oh dear I haven't a clue what I mean. sorry, but thank you for your help I am sure it will get sorted somehow.
No Internet Explorer does not open automatically when I start up.
Thanks for info on Screenshot, I will try now.

[WendyPusey]

Sorry Margaret, Dave has had to go out. Will be back later.

[KiteRunner]

I'm not certain if it is anything to do with MySpace or not, Margaret - I just thought it must be because of the error message saying POINT-ISMYSPACE in it, but maybe it doesn't mean anything to do with MySpace at all! I looked up that MSUCR71 dll on Google, and it looks as though it should say MSVCR71 dll but I couldn't understand the info about it. Hopefully someone else knows what it means!

[TrevorFranklin]

MSVCR71 dll (that is the correct name), is a 'dynamic library file'
These contain instructions for programs to use.
This one is used as part of the Visual basic language that produces your buttons and dropdowns on your browser etc.

It looks like when you updated your system it overwrote this file and the new file has not the previously stored information it is looking for.

I need to know EXACTLY what application you are attempting to open when this occures,

[M-Man]

Hi KiteRunner, sorry for the delay, but I had a visitor,
I hope this is what you mean about a Screenshot.



hope this works

[M-Man]

Hi I am so sorry I havent a clue what I was attempting to do when it occured. I am hopeless I know. :o
and I have never used myspace, so don't know anything about that.

[dave pusey]

From the screenshot it looks related to "Yahoo Online Protection". Do you have that installed?

Perhaps uninstalling/reinstalling it will help.

[M-Man]

Thanks Dave I will try that, and after much juggling this is the other screenshot.


I thank you all for your help and I hope I can do what you say Dave,,:D well I will have a go anyway.

[dave pusey]

Do you use AOL? If not i would suggest you uninstall the AOL software.

[M-Man]

Hi Dave, No I dont have AOL so I will unstall the softwear for that.
I cannot find Yahoo Online Protection but will have another look.
Thanks for all the help I have gotten here, everyone is so
good to help.

[KiteRunner]

Ah, now I see the screenshot, the error message doesn't say MySpace! Have altered the thread title to avoid confusion!

[M-Man]

Hi, I did as Dave suggested and went to uninstall for Yahoo
Online Protection and all went well til I realised I had clicked the box that said uninstall all I didnt see the
select any of the components, now all is gone and I havent a clue how to reinstall. if anyone has any help I would be greatful. I will be going out in an hour so I wont
be back on here till later sorry to be a pain,, I was pleased till I realised I could have just clicked on the Yahoo Online Protection. silllyyyyyy mooooooooo. :o

[M-Man]

Hi, I am home now and just though if I do a system restore-------and guess what, problem solved and all is well. Thank you KiteRunner,Dave and Trevor Franklin for your help. :o
