Hey Guys,
You should be okay with the specs on that machine. There are several causes/resolutions really depending on what the user is doing when they are receiving the errors. Here are some possible resolutions:
CAUSES
Cause 1
This problem can occurs when your Reports.dic file has become damaged. To resolve this problem, see Resolution 1 in the "Resolution" section.
Cause 2
This problem can occur when your vbe6.dll is not registered. To resolve this problem, see Resolution 2 in the "Resolution" section.
Cause 3
This problem can occur after Windows updates have been applied and the machine has not been rebooted. To resolve this problem, see Resolution 3 in the "Resolution" section.
Cause 4
This problem can occur if the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is turned on. To resolve this problem, see Resolution 4 in the "Resolution" section.
Cause 5
This problem can occur if Metrics are enabled on the homepage and Microsoft Office Web Components are not installed. To resolve this problem, see Resolution 5 in the "Resolution" section.
Cause 6
This issue can occur if a new version of Internet Explorer (IE) has been installed and you have not rebooted the machine. To resolve this problem, see Resolution 6 in the "Resolution" section.
Cause 7
This issue can occur when DirectX attempts to access an image in the background folder within the Dynamics GP code folder, as of now we are uncertain to why this happens however it is intermittent and is a known bug within GP. This error occurs because the dxtrans.dll file (which is a DirectX DLL file) and the Icmsg.gif file conflict. To resolve this problem, see Resolution 7 in the "Resolution" section.
Resolution
RESOLUTIONS
Resolution 1
Import the reports from the Reports.dic file
1.
Make sure that all users exit Microsoft Dynamics GP.
2.
Rename the Reports.dic file to Reports.bac. The Reports.dic file may be located on the server or on the workstation.
3.
Start Microsoft Dynamics GP.
4.
On the Tools menu, click Customize, and then click Report Writer. When Report Writer starts, a new Reports.dic file is created.
5.
Click Reports. The Modified Reports list is empty. If the Modified Reports list is not empty, you renamed the wrong Reports.dic file in the "Step 2: Rename the existing Reports.dic file" section. Find the appropriate Reports.dic file, and then start over in that section.
6.
In Report Writer, click Import.
7.
Click the ellipsis button (...) next to the Source Dictionary box. Locate the Reports.bac dictionary file that you named in step 2, and then click Open.
8.
In the Source Dictionary Reports list, select the modified reports that you want to import, and then click Insert. The reports are listed in the Reports to Import list.
9.
Click Import. When the Reports to Import list is empty, the modified reports have been imported into the new Reports.dic file.
Note If you created your own table relationships, the table relationships will be removed when you rename the Reports.dic file. After you import the reports, the table relationships that you created will be restored. If you created the relationship but did not link the relationship to a report, you must create the relationship again.
Resolution 2
Re-registered vbe6.dll:
1. Click Start , click Run , type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK .
At the command prompt, type regsvr32 path & filename of dll, and then press ENTER.
You should receive a message stating the DLL file succeeded.
