FAQs

Q I get an error message

Run-time error 339. Component "comdlg32.ocx" or one of its dependencies not correctly registered

or else

Run Time error 429. ACTIVEX component can't creat object

A You need to download and install evaluation.zip
(This installs some necesary system files that are required by the latest versions of scrutelle and CM)
But first make sure you keep a copy of your existing licence file C:\Program Files\scrutelle\scrutelle.ini

Left Mouse Click Here and select Save
Save the ZIP file to a temporary location (eg C:\install or C:\temp)

Then open that folder and click on evaluation.zip
Then click on Setup.exe in the WINZIP window
After the installation is complete, you will need re-install later versions of the programs (if you have them) and your scrutelle.ini file
The default location is C:\Program Files\scrutelle

Q An error message keeps coming up when I try to open Version 4.11
The message reads: Cannot find file scrutelle.ini

A The file scrutelle.ini contains your licence details, such as your registration name and the max no of competitors & judges etc
It needs to be in the same folder as scrutelle.exe
C:\Program Files\scrutelle is recommended
Version 4.11 now exits the program if the INI file is not found. Previously it was possible to continue even though this error meassage had appeared. This caused problems

Q I've had no luck with this new scrutineering program, the database seems to be missing and all I get is a nice front page but I can't do anything with it (I downloaded the program from www.scrutelle.com). Hoping you can help

A The program does not have any database. You have to enter all the data yourself for a competition
Estelle says that when she demonstrates the program, she starts with a set of data already entered and runs a competition. Then she goes back to explain how to enter the data
You can download a zip file containing data for a recent competition by CLICKING HERE
Extract the two files (Page.sct & Page.scx) to a suitable folder eg c:\scrutelle
Then run the program
Open the file Page.sct
Select an event

R Thanks for the informative email and I have been able to test the program , and I have even entered a small competition. My problem was I didn't have access to the help file to guide me on how operate the program but all is well now and I'll keep testing
