Manual Time Clock Error Instructions

If you receive the error '-2147417848(80010108)' when trying to use the manual time clock program, you have two choices below for repairing the problem:

Method #1:

The problem is relative to the Calendar OCX not being properly registered. This can occur with Windows XP when Windows XP Service Pack 1 is not installed.
Install or Re-install Windows XP Service Pack 1 to resolve this problem


IF METHOD #1 DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM
THEN ON TO METHOD #2 BELOW:

Method # 2:

Click on Start | Run and enter the command "regsvr32 /u mscal.ocx" and press the OK button.

This should unregister the mscal.ocx. A Message Box comes up saying so.

Do a Start | Search for "mscal.ocx". I believe you will find at least 2. Check the sizes of these files. The smaller one should probably be in the c:\Windows\System32 directory. Delete this one -- that is the smaller one. [You may want to simply rename it to MSCALOLD.OCX or move it onto a floppy so that you feel comfortable in case something does not go well with this procedure]

When the smaller one is deleted or renamed, you should only have one mscal.ocx on your system. This file should be copied to c:\windows\system32   or c:\windows\system    [For Windows 95 or 98]

Once the file is copied, run the command below:

Go to Start | Run and type in "regsvr32 c:\windows\system\mscal.ocx"    [For Windows 95 or 98]  (or)

Go to Start | Run and type in "regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\mscal.ocx"

 and press the OK button. A Message Box should display saying that the ocx file has been successfully registered.
