    As you're using PWS, you can always build your own content rotator script. It's pretty easy. And you can connect to a database (MS Access for home use) to get the data etc.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    In case you're interested, here's a very basic way of printing some random text.

    In my real code, the response.write()'s are actually calls to other functions that get content from a database, but I cut that out to keep this example short.
    Code:
    <%
    Function PrintRandomText
    
     MaxFunctions = 5
     Randomize
     MyNum = Int((MaxFunctions * Rnd) + 1)
     Select Case MyNum
     	Case 1:
     		Response.Write("Hello everyone")
     	Case 2:
     		Response.Write("Welcome")
     	Case 3:
     		Response.Write("Bonjour")
     	Case 4:
     		Response.Write("Greetings")
     	Case 5:
     		Response.Write("Hi ya")
     	Case Else:
     		Response.Write("It's all gone wrong!")
     End Select
     
    End Function
    
    PrintRandomText
    
    %>
    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    >and about the controt.dll file
    I'm not sure if you can "force" this one in or not. Some people state it's part of the resource kit that you're supposed to order from M$.

    However, you could try registering it manually. Use something like
    >start->run
    >regsvr32 controt.dll

    If you don't get anywhere, try looking through this lot.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    thankx hammer, but whenever i type that in, i get an error saying

    >LoadLibrary("controt.dll") failed.
    >GetLastError Returns 0x00000485


    any idea what's causing this?

    Do you have Visual Studio tools? If so you can use them to show you that
    0x00000485
    One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.
    And Dependency Walker says I'm missing:
    IISRTL.DLL
    COMSVCS.DLL

    I don't know if simply finding these 2 DLL's (and their dependencies) and registering them will work. Maybe someone can upload them (Ober?) and you could give it a go.

    All sounds a bit of a bodge to me though, I'm not placing any money on this one!
