Hi Guys a problem here looks like this,

Bootstrap.exe ordinal not found

The ordinal 730 could not be located in the dynamic link library Shell32.dll.

This happens on a friends windows 2000 P.C..

Any Ideas

Maybe uninstalling LW completely, deleting the LW preference folder as explained here:

Afterwards rebooting your computer.
Then downloading the LW offline installer from here:
http://www.limewire.com/
but choosing the installer of "Others" in regard to the OS and then installing that one might solve the problem.

Can you say when this error happens: After your friend has switched on his computer or after he tries to run LW.

Does this happen with any other apps, such as games, etc.

How old is your friends computer?

Is there any chance of you finding out the make of your friend's Hard Disk?


Later.

this is happening only when they try to install Windows Messenger they tell me..

Computer is an old IBM think pad, Win 2000 PRO, Pentium 3, and I remember the hard drive is a Hitachi.

Thanks...

If I remember correctly, IBM ThinkPads are quite old now and Hitachi hard drives are notoriously unreliable but it could be something as simple as getting your friend to clean out his temp folder.

I would also suggest that your friend accesses the MS database or knowledge and type in your query there.

Thanks for that ukbobboy01

Tried emptying the temp folder last nite but no good on that 1...

I've tried lots of things but no good, instead I installed Trillian and works Great..

Question Can I put my copy of XP Pro on the laptop , the same I'm using on my Desktop???

Yes, you can install Win XP Pro on a laptop but, personally, I think the Thinkpad has had it's day.

Thanks 4 you're help ukbobboy01

Told them not to buy the thinkpad, spend only $200-$300 more max. and get them selfs an up to date laptop that will do anything they want..

Only want to email and catch up with a few family and friends on MSN but are using the latest wireless card, fast - with average download speeds of 550Kbps to 1.5Mbps, and a peak network downlink speed of 3.6 Mbps!..
The fastest thing is the wireless card!!

The old thinkpad is a pentium 3 600mhz, 20gb hard drive and a whole 128mbs of ram.. A laptop with a Cpu about 1.5ghz would be better.

Any way they are continuing their travels around Australia and I did my bit, thanks Mark...
