Re: C:\windows\system32\catsrv.dll

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Wendy,

Where exactly are you missing the XP version from?

If you mean on the Start Menu, the version only shows up there if you're
using the Classic Start Menu.

If you mean on the Desktop, you can either use TweakUI or a registry setting
to display it.

If you mean somewhere else, you'll have to say because I cannot think of
where you may mean.

The catsrv.dll is on the XP CD in compacted form listed as CATSRV.DL_ in the
I386 folder.

This may be of some interest.

Although I wouldn't worry about the catsrv.dll problem, especially if there
is nothing in the C:\Program Files\ComPlus Applications folder.

Thank you Wes. Ha! Simple fix for Word. What do you know...thanks!
No, didn't install SP2 but I just did tonight because I did the repair to
my XP and needed the updates and SP2 again. Still not showing the XP
display. I've been having other problems with this pc. Time for a new one
I guess.

Is there some place to go to download the catsrv file? Or is it not really
that important.

thanks again.
Wendy

Did you install SP2 a few weeks ago? If you did that caused the XP
version
display to disappear.

In Word click on the backward looking P symbol on the Toolbar. That is
the
Formatting button, it toggles to show all the fomatting symbols and not
show
the symbols.

catsrv.dll has something to do with COM Services and if you updated to
SP2 that may have caused the Failed to load library problem.

A few weeks ago my screen stopped displaying the Windows XP version and
my
Word documents began to show all paragraph, spacing and formatting as I
am
typing. A few weeks ago I received some sort of message saying that some
XP files are missing.

I repaired the existing XP Home from the CD. During the repair I got an
error code Ox800700007f (? it was faded toward the right side of the
code so not sure if the f is correct). "Failed to load library
C:\windows\system32\catsrv.dll"

Is this error message related to the current display and word problems
and
how can I fix it?

thank you,
