Press Release

IMPORTANT! Please read this notice for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4 users.

November 19, 1998 -- Crazy Rides

Included with the recent releases of Wheel Maker and Bicycle Gear Calculator was an incorrect support file mistakenly distributed with our software. Users that have Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, and have installed the new Visual Basic 6 versions of this software may have noticed some strange behavior with other applications. (Such as 'Unable to register comcat.dll' or some other associated dll's.) Windows 98 uses this file without problems.

The affected file, comcat.dll is found inside the user's Windows\system or WinNT\system32 directory. The file comcat.dll version 5.00 from Windows 98 was distributed instead of comcat.dll version 4.71 from Windows NT. For some reason Microsoft has decided NOT to make this file backwards compatible and there are no obvious problems with our software when used on these systems.

The affected versions of our software are:

  • Wheel Maker version 98.09.026 released October 3, 1998
  • Wheel Maker version 98.11.001 released November 3, 1998
  • Bicycle Gear Calculator version 98.11.015 released November 17, 1998

Please download and install comcatfx.exe to replace any suspected incorrect version on comcat.dll installed by our software. This patch will automatically confirm which version of Windows is installed, and check the version of comcat.dll before replacing the file.

Please accept our apologies for any problems or frustration this has caused, and hopefully correcting this problem will help. I encourage everyone to take advantage of our user feedback below to report any problems experienced with any of our software.
