I'm using a cd version of WorldBook 2000 at a school and get a Runtime Error 217 when using "Surf the Millenium" feature in the program. This does not happen on a Win95 machine, just a Win98 machine. Any ideas as to why this appears? I can click on OK and continue using the program. Other buttons in the program do not give me the error. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/tongue.gif
It seems that it could either be a problem with the program itself (expecting a certain type of data format, for like dates; or that some of the registry entries for the program are corrupted/missing..the first may require either a Windows update or a patch for the program (if it uses a certain version of MS components the program may need to be updated because the version of those components for 95 would be earlier than thev ersion in 98...). If it is registry problems then you need to uninstall and reinstall the program....since it happens wiht just one part of it I'd lean towards the registry problem.....
