SUMMARY
You are unable to log into Bob as a new user or are unable to complete a Mail run due to incorrect versions of Mapiu.dll and Mapix.dll.
SYMPTOMS
When you try to start Bob as a new user, you receive the following error message:
Your program is making an invalid dynamic link call to a dll.
This message usually occurs in the Household Information screen when you click Next.
Or, if you try to go start Bob E-Mail, you receive the following error message:
An error has occurred in your program. To keep working anyway, click ignore and save your work in a new file. To quit this program, click close. You will lose information you entered since your last save.
At this point, you should click Close and resolve the problem.
RESOLUTION
These messages could be caused by missing or corrupt files required by Microsoft Bob. Make sure that the files, Mapiu.dll and Mapix.dll, located in the System folder of Windows are the correct sizes.
File Size —- —-
Mapiu.dll 239,104 bytes
Mapix.dll 430,080 bytes
To check the file sizes, do the following:
Click the Start button, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.
Make sure that the Name And Location tab is selected.
In the Named field, type the following:
mapi*.dll.
In the Look In field, type the following
c
Where C is the letter of the hard drive where you installed Windows.
Make sure that the Include Subfolders box contains a check mark.
Click Find Now.
Scroll through the list of files to find Mapiu.dll and Mapix.dll.
With your right mouse button, click one the files, and then click Properties. Compare the file size to the example in the “Resolution” section of this article.
Repeat step 8 for the other file.
If the file sizes are incorrect you need to close all programs, rename both files, and then extract new files form your original Bob disks or compact disc.
