MsWorks Calendar
W/XP MS Works 8.5
I get the following mssg
MS Works 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close...
AppName-- wkscal.exe Appver:== 8.5.818.0 ModNme==
wkcalac.dll
Whenever:
1. I try to open calendar
2. I reactivate from standby
3. I reactivate from hibernte
4. I start from shut down
5. I restart.
I posatively do not understand why Works had to close when it wasn't even open to begin with.
===================================================
I tried System Restore, it wouldn't till I tried in Safemode. Since the problem started Sun Mon or Tue I restored to Mon then Sun trying to sneak up on it. Well after the 2nd restore all the bold restore points disappeared so there was no more trying that. I then:
Studied on Google and the MS site and did everything that was suggested by MS including uninstalling/installing because my understanding is there might be a corupt file and system restore won't fix that.
Opening the works 8 task mgr from the start menu reveals Calendar as the home page and I can cough up my appointments in that venue but cannot add any -- because Calendar will not open. The other functions that I use (spread sheet and data sheet) work just fine.
I finally looked in msconfig > Startup (System Config Utility) and found there was no Startup Item for Calendar. There should be. It is WkCalRem.exe It used to be there. How can I get it back there?
The WkCalRem.exe file does show in the Task Manager Processes tab.
