Compaq Phone Center requires a version of the file MFC42.DLL that uses DAO Version 3.0. When Office 97 or Netscape 4.1 is installed, they install a newer version of this file that causes Compaq Phone Center to display the error, "Unable to initialize DAO/Jet Engine." To correct this problem, copy this version of MFC42.DLL into the folder C:\COMPAQ\CPQPHONE. HOW TO USE: 1. Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette. 2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is an executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be prompted to insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette. 4. After the diskette has been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2. 5. Run Setup.exe from the target directory (or default download directory). This will copy the MFC42.dll to C:\COMPAQ\CPQPHONE 6. Restart the computer for the update to take effect. Copyright 1997, Compaq Computer Corporation. All rights reserved.
