Q: RDSS says it has a problem loading ZIP routines: "Could not load the ZIP routines. Tip: if running Windows Vista, you need to be an Administrator, rather than a Standard User. Try Uninstalling then doing a full Re-install of RDSS (use your RDSS Install package to Uninstall.) RDSS is stopping now."

A: This is due (almost always) to a Windows update which occurred on your computer since the last time you used RDSS, and which de-registered the ZIP routine library which RDSS uses.

Solution: First try this - on your RDSS folder, find the file named REGDLL.BAT (a Windows Batch File). Double-click it to run it. This simply attempts to re-register the ZIP library which Windows de-registered in its update. If it succeeds, you’ll see a message as follows:

Name:  regdll.gif
Views: 3092
Size:  16.4 KB

Now try RDSS again to see if the ZIP library works now. If not, then go ahead and uninstall then reinstall the software. As always when uninstalling, make a copy of your RDSS database (\rdss\data\data.db) and when prompted during the Uninstall if you want to delete data.db, say NO!
