I've just transferred everything across to my new laptop, and when I went to run QuickRun the following error message came up: "Component 'RICHTX32.OCX' not correctly registered: file is missing or invalid" Any ideas? -- Regards, James Christie "Luck is my middle name," he said, indistinctly.

I copied the quake folder straight across from my external (backup) HDD, which in turn had been copied straight across from my other PC, and which has been used on other laptops without this problem before. -- Regards, James Christie "Luck is my middle name," he said, indistinctly.

Are you kidding me? The filename is right there in front of you!!! It obviously isn't in the Quake directory, and is probably a Windoze system file of some kind (in /windows or /windows/system or something). Another poster has done the work for you, I suggest you follow the link he provided and restore the file. Windoze rots your brain, and this is clear evidence of that... ;-) -- If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space. Linux Registered User #327951

I've now found out it belongs in the System 32 folder, its now been replaced and everything works fine. I don't use my PC seriously enough to know the ins and outs of every folder, only really for playing games, watching DVDs and emails etc. Away and 'Phear the Penguin'. -- Regards, James Christie "Luck is my middle name," he said, indistinctly.
