When you perform a search in Microsoft Clip Organizer, the list of results may appear slowly. You may notice this behavior whether your computer is connected to the Internet or your computer is not connected to the Internet.

If you are not connected to the Internet, your computer still tries to access Clips Online. However, your computer cannot access Clips Online because it is not connected to the Internet. Therefore, it appears as if your search is taking longer than expected.

Symptoms
On a computer that has Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 installed (and that does not have Microsoft Visual Studio .NET installed), when you try to access data using ADO Interop on an ASP.NET page that resides at an identical site and that is hosted on the same computer, you may receive the following error message:

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Resolution
To resolve this problem, register the Adodb.dll file in the global assembly cache (GAC). On a computer where only the .NET Framework is installed, the file Gacutil.exe does not exist.. Either obtain the gacutil file by installing Microsoft .NET Framework SDK, or create a Visual Studio.NET setup project that uses the installer to install the correct components.
To register Adodb.dll in the GAC, follow these steps: Click Start and then click Run. In the Run dialog box, type the following command, and then click OK:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\gacutil /i C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies\adodb.dll
