    PICMultiCalc gets runtime errors in windows 7.
    Is their a newer version than 1.3.1?
    This is a much used utility and an update would be appreciated.

    Hi Norm,
    I run it on Win7-64bit and don't get any runtime (or other) errors. I don't know what version I'm running but I can check tonight. If you haven't already tried it, try running it as administrator and see if that help. I've had several apps where doing that is neccessary for it to work.

    Running as administrator didn't help in 32 bit windows 7 professional.

    I have the following NET's installed by default in case this is a Microsoft VB supportive files issue:
    Microsoft® .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727.4927
    Microsoft® .NET Framework Version 3.0.6920.4902

    Hi Norm,
    I had problems installing on win98 required a file not in win98, got it off the net.

    Have you tried to run in compatibility mode ?

    Hi Norm,
    I'm running 1.3.0.1 and, like I said, I don't have any problems with on Win7 64bit. It's been over a year since I installed this machine so I'm not sure if I HAD any problems getting it running but I don't think I did.

    I know it's not much help but anyway....

    Maybe I could try copy and paste of the missing MSSTDFMT.DLL
    In XP it's located in X:\Windows\System32
    Is the same true in Windows7?

    Win7 64 bit using PicMultiCalc just fine.

    When I searched my system for MSSTDFMT.DLL all I got was
    tweak_xp.xml
    it has this line
    Code:
    %SYSTEM%\CPUINFO2.DLL %SYSTEM%\hxphk.ocx %SYSTEM%\MSGHOO32.OCX %SYSTEM%\MSINET.OCX %SYSTEM%\msstdfmt.dll %SYSTEM%\MSWINSCK.OCX
    the file is located here on my machine.
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Seagate\BackupScripts
    ???

    Hi,
    On my system that file is located in the WOW64 folder but mine is 64-bit as well. Unfortunately I don't know where it would default to on a 32-bit Win-7 installation. I feel your pain Norm and I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

    I had to download & install Microsoft ActiveX control Pad to get LCD tool working.

    I had to download & register MSSTDFMT.DLL to get Timer tool working.

    All tools worked after that.

    Nice utility, I had the old SPBRG version.

    If you get this in Win 7 64bit:

    ActiveX Control Pad Setup:
    the app was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)


    Run in XP compatibility mode.



    To register MSSTDFMT.DLL in Win 7 64bit:

    - download the file from microsoft.
    - copy to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder
    - RUN REGSVR32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSSTDFMT.DLL

    It is surprising, but on my new and fresh Win7-64Bit system, with no VB studio installation if that matters, I did nothing special. Just executed the Steves nice job. It runs with no error messages!

    I don't have VB6, MCSP, PBP or anything else programming-oriented on the Win 7 64-bit system yet either; just FS-X, PSP-XI, Open Office and Turbocad 11.

    I bet you have software that already have those DLL included.

    I just stumbled upon this problem on my Windows10 machine, ie where PICMultiCalc wouldn't run due to missing MSSTDFMT.DLL
    It's very strange because I've had this machine up and running for several months and can't Believe I've not had to use PICMultiCalc on all this time. Anyway, the fix is as above but it took some additional steps to get it to work on my machine.

    * I had to start Windows10 in fail safe mode in order to be able to actually copy MSSTDFMT.DLL to the SysWoW64 folder.
    * Run the command prompt as Administrator
    * Exectute the command %systemroot%\SysWow64\regsvr32 c:\Windows\syswow64\msstdfmt.dll

    This succesfully registred MSSTDFMT.DLL and PICMultiCalc works again.

    On my system everything in PICMultiCalc works - except the LCD character generator (which I've never used). It throws the same error as Richard reports.

    Do you have FM20.dll on your system Sayzer?
    If you do, would you mind posting it (I know it might not be 100% kosher doing so but anyway...)

    Or, to Richard, if you have the FM20.dll file on your 32bit system would you mind posting it?

    I'm reluctant to download such file from random sites on the internet.

    There are two files, FM20 and FM20ENU.
    MultiCalc needs both.

    It appears that my FM20 files came from MS Office XP installation; yours might come from somehwere else.

    Attached is a rar file; just rename txt to rar.
    Includes both files.

    Thank you Sayzer for uploading the files. I managed to get it working by basically doing the same things as with MSSTDFMT.dll, namely this:

    Copy the files to the SysWow64 folder (again I had to revert to safe mode in order to be able to do this).
    Run a command prompt as adminstrator and register the fm20.dll using the 32bit version of regsrv32 (which, sort of conunterintuitively, is the one residing in the SysWow64 folder and not the one in the System32 folder) by executing the command:
    %systemroot%\SysWow64\regsvr32 c:\Windows\syswow64\fm20.dll


    After doing this the LCD portion of PICMultiCalc seems to work as expected which either means that I already had an registred version of FM20ENU.dll somewhere on my system or it isn't actually needed for some other reason - or there might still be some feature in PICMultiCalc that doesn't work which I have not discovered yet. I'll just leave it alone for now.

    /Henrik.

    Thank you for the guidance. MSSTDFMT.dll seems to make everything happy again. Registering the .dll was especially helpful.

    Once again, the forum to the rescue.
