Thanks anyway.

But you probably can't run Live update. So If I were in your shoes I would chuck Norton out the window and use AVG. Save the headache.

There's something wrong with the DLL is my opinion.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to do anything. I still get the error message. Maybe someone could send me the DLL?

I have exactly the same problem and none of the solutions posted worked for me either. the 'ordinal 233 missing' message comes up just as you describe, in several contexts: When starting Outlook, Norton, or accessing 'help' in Excel. With Outlook, the message comes up half a dozen times, I cancel it and eventually Outlook works just fine.

Just so you know I tried the following: 1 Reinstalled SP2 from CD 2. Copied older SHDOCVW.DLL file to a few locations. I have now heard that removing SP2 and reinstalling from the CD might be the way to go. Let me know if this works for you.

Fixed it and I present my theory on how and why... I used a program called "WindowsUpdatesList" It was free and showed all installed updates with there install date and listed the files. I found that KB883939 contained the file SHDOCVW.dll in it. It may/may-not also be present in SP1 for Server 2003, which I consider to be equivilent to SP2 for XP since they came out around the same time. That update can't be removed through add remove although it dose show up. I right clicked it and hit properties in the WinUpdatesList program that I downloaded for free and it told me where to find the uninstall. C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB883939$\spuninst\spuninst.exe (remember this is server, xp may be different) I removed it by runing that exe and REBOOTED Then the server booted to reveal that it was infact already SP1 even though it was not before the reboot. I suspect that KB883939 was installed and the server was not rebooted then automatic updates were enabled and the server was allowed to do it's thing. SP1 (SP2 in case of XP) was installed over top and rebooted but there may have been a problem finishing the setup for SP1. It is also possible that it just couldn't finish until KB883939 was removed. Unfortunutly as you can see there is pleny of room here for experamentation however MY server is working... I suspect this is the pure result of not rebooting between / after HotFixes and Service Packs that call for a Reboot. Just a theory. --------------- On Saturday, November 27, 2004 at 9:57 am, Victor wrote: >After upgrading to XP2 my Norton Antivirus 2004 has been giving me this error: > >AXWIN Frame Windows: cfgwiz.eze - Ordinal Not Found >The ordinal 233 could not be located in the dynamic link library SHDOCVW.DLL > >This error message pops up like 5 times and then Norton comes up in a blank window. > >I also get this message when accessing certain help files. > >I tried searching for help here : http://forum.gladiator-antivirus.com/index.php?showtopic=17470&st=15 >but the suggestions didn't work. > >So far I have ordered a copy of SP2 via CD and installed it based on a recommendation >that the DLL in the downloaded SP2 was corrupted.
