Hm, life really gets harder these days. VC6++ tells me, it''s missing some external symols called ___pfnBkCheck etc. Well, they must have been there, ''cause earlier sources compiled without problems. I probably killed the files while installing VC-SP2 manually.... Can anyone tell me what is missing & should be reinstalled ?? Pretty Please ?? arno (hope this is the right forum...)

The error is in your project settings or source code, it''s not an corrupt lib/include directory. The linker indicates a undefined symbol. It''s not that the compiler/linker complains about a missing .lib or .h file. I recommend you installing VC++ SP4 and simply fixing your error like you fix your other linker errors...
