What is the meaning of "Cannot load 32-bit DLL c:\windows\system\bblistview.ocx"?

Applies to: The Master Genealogist v5.10 or later and users of Windows 95 or Windows 98 First Edition only.

 

Note: This problem does NOT apply to users of later operating systems, including Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), Win 98 Millenium Edition (ME), Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows XP.

 

Answer: Users of Win95 and Win98 First Edition may receive an error "Cannot load 32-bit DLL c:\windows\system\bblistview.ocx" upon starting TMG. The error is caused by the fact that some required system files are missing from those machines. (Later operating system included those files by default).
