[edit] mswinsck.ocx

Error when attempting to run VP201.exe: "component 'mswinsck.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid". This file is available here.--Húsönd 04:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

After downloading and registering MSWINSCK.OCX, I then got a similar message concerning TABCTL32.OCX, which can be downloaded similarly here. haz (talk) e 20:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] not correctly reading a space in whitlist

I went to white list User:Doc glasgow but it whitelisted User:Doc instead Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 00:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response time

When the VP2 logs out, due to inactivity, or time-out, it asks to review your settings and click Ok to start Reviewing edits again. Problem is, I changed my settings (I added Do not show nammed users) and it says : ressource in use (couldn't see it) and it closed. --Deenoe 22:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

click disconnect and then reconnect Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 23:52, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback (Custom)

Rollback Custom doesn't give access to the warnings. It just.. well.. rolls back. --Deenoe 23:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Script error?

Keep getting those silly "An error has occurred in the script of this page." Problem is, it only does it in VP. If I go in Wikipedia in IE, no prob, Firefox, No prob, Opera, no prob... But with VP, problema! And it's weird cause I'm pretty sure VP uses IE. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deenoe (talk • contribs) . Disable JavaScript in IE, problem should be solved.

How do you disable JS? I thought I did, but that didn't work. -- TheGreatLlama (speak to the Llama!) 13:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Never mind, learned it on IRC. --The Great Llama(speak to the Llama!) 20:05, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning given to wrong person

I went to rollback this edit (with test2-n), and the warning went to the wrong person ([1]). It looks like I'd hit rollback near-simultaneously with User:Palffy, as his warning did go to the correct person (User_talk:68.115.79.62) -- SonicAD (talk) 18:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I've come across the same problem. I reverted the article Three Gorges Dam http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Three_Gorges_Dam&diff=81849502&oldid=81849469 but the warning went to some totally random person Bolivian Unicyclist, who I don't think I've ever reverted. AA Milne 22:45, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Same thing happened to me. ~ PHDrillSergeant...§ 23:00, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Me too -- Imoeng 04:51, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uh-oh.

I went to rollback and warn someone and clicked "T1+a". I got a runtime error (I didn't see it too well because of how fast it disappeared, but I think it said "Program does not support this function") and the program closed instantly. ~ PHDrillSergeant...§ 21:01, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback hitting wrong page

AA Milne tried to revert an edit to Arthur Conan Doyle (diff) but the revert actually hit a completely different page, Robert W. Edgar (diff). This is a serious problem, although I cannot find any instances of the problem occurring elsewhere. --bainer (talk) 06:15, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning sent to wrong party?

this warning appears on the face of it to have been placed on the wrong user's page. --BostonMA talk 23:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Had to remove QoS Packet Scheduler in XP

This isn't a VP2 bug, but I was stuck at 'Attempting to connect...' until I went into Network Connections, right-clicked on an interface, clicked on QoS Packet Scheduler and clicked Uninstall. This is never needed, but it's installed on XP by default. Here's a link with a screenshot to assist: Uninstall QoS Packet Scheduler Strom 00:06, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biased Personal Opinion Reinserted

Line Dance edit removing the above was reinstated by this bot on this date. Please check it out. It's annoying enough to have people insert comments like "only white people line dance" and "its not that much fun" without having to fend off automatic reverts putting it back in. Thanks in advance for fixing this. Steve Pastor 15:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
