From: Grzegorz on 5 Jan 2010 12:10 Hello. Yesterday I managed to instal XP Professional on my computer and from the begginning I need to deal with some troubles. When I start my computer, Windows is showing me error message, that could not find the 'koe.exe' file which should have been placed in Documents and settings (according to this message). Does anyone know what it is and how can I fix it? I appreciate any support. Thank you. Gregory

I find everything from Adobe's "Flash" to Nero7 to Sun's JRE. So, finding an EXE in there isn't too surprising. -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN bert(a)iphouse.com |
