I have just downloaded PAF 5.2 and am having trouble opening it. The notice says ''The PAF5.EXE File is linked to missing export USP10.DLL:ScriptString_pLogAttr.'' Is this something that should have come with the download, or do I need to have it on my computer already? Many thanks.

Hi Margaret, I don't know much about computers or .dll files, but as you had not had a response, I ran a google search and you can download that one from here:- http://www.dlldump(.)com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/U/USP10.DLL/1.0420.2600.2180/download.html I would give it a try, and see if it fixes the problem. Good Luck, Lyn

is that from the LDS site if so ,are you sure you didnt download the personal ancestry file companion by mistake it can happen you need the download above it 77065000-S is the one you need

Thank you Ladies. I will try that download and see if it helps. Valerie - I double checked - didn't download the companion....plenty to choose from though; would be easy to get the wrong one. Margaret

OK - new problem......I have downloaded the file.....what do I use to open it? The box offering programs comes up, but I have no idea which one to use.

Thanks Valerie - will check that one out too.

Have done the Registry thing - nearly 300 errors, but mainly files being where they aren't supposed to be. Does anyone know what program I need to open the USP10.DLL file?

I have PAF5, and I didn't have any trouble downloading it. To open it, you just double-click on the icon on your desktop.

Mary - when I clicked on the icon, the error in my original paragraph popped up. Seems I was missing something - now that I have it, I don't know what program to use to open it. Even though I now have the missing file, unless I can open/access it, I still can't get into PAF.

I'm no expert, but I don't think dll files are supposed to be opened. Maybe there was a problem with the download. Try deleting the program and downloading it again.

Be very very careful indeed if you are altering registry values - this should only really be done if you know exactly what you are doing because an incorrect deletion or alteration can really mess up Windows.

Mary - it automatically goes to the ''open with'' program when I click on the icon. If I click on the PAF icon, it still tells me I am missing the file. Errol - no problem about the registry. I am always very wary about touching anything I don't know. (Plus it costs to 'fix' the program; I'd rather save my money for certs.)

I agree with Mary uninstall it and install it again
