There's a piece of software over in the Kindergarten school that is playing up a bit. I've copied the executables from a machine before it died and tried running them but it moans about missing ocx files.

I google each one as they come up but can't always download them. Is there a site that lets you download OCX files free?

I just thought it would be quicker to do it this way than to call the maker for a replacement cd as the software is needed urgently.

For example right now i need IGTOOLBARS50.OCX

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have staff on my back as they "cant teach ICT" without this program!

Not sure whether this is within site rules and admin/mods can edit if nessisary but I would suggest opening up a file shareing client like eMule or Shareza and searching there. It is supprsing how many people share out their whole drive without checking and so it can be a good source of missing files like this and has worked for me in the past.

 

Do scan them thoroughly with every virus checker in your arsonal though as with all file shareing there is always this danger.

Its LessonMaker Foundation by EDUTech. I've emailed them asking about replacement CDs but no response as yet.

Luckily I found another PC with it already installed and copied the OCX and DLL files it needed from there.

Cheers for the advice, I'll keep it in mind if I run into any more files required
