How to Use Freestyle Flash

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap, and dry them on a clean towel.
2. Insert a new lancette into your lancing device. Verify that the lancing device is clean around the tip and the lancette fits properly.
3. Be sure you have the right strips for your Freestyle Flash meter. Confirm that your strips are within the printed expiration date.
4. Insert the test strip into the Freestyle Flash meter with the sample collection end facing out. Be sure that the meter recognizes the strip and wait for the meter to prompt you for the blood sample.
5. Clean the test area with a fresh alcohol wipe and allow it to dry thoroughly. Any excess alcohol may result in an inaccurate reading.
6. With the opposite hand, grasp the lancing device. Holding it firmly against the test site, push the button to trigger the device.
7. Grasp the testing finger slightly below the test site and gently squeeze it to encourage blood flow. You only need a small sample with the Freestyle Flash meter.

9. The Freestyle Flash meter will beep and test the sample Watch the display as it counts down to verify the meter is working. It will display the results on the screen in about five seconds.
10. Use the alcohol swab to gently wipe the test site clean and apply slight pressure to stop the flow of blood. Use the alcohol wipe, gauze or a band aid as needed to stop the bleeding.
11. Record your reading in a log for later reference. The Freestyle Flash will hold 250 test results, but it is a good idea to have a back up of the record just in case.
12. Discard the used strip into the garbage and remove the lancette from the lancing device. The lancette should be disposed of in a Sharps container after use.

How to Fix Appcrash Errors on a Computer

1. Delete any new programs that you have downloaded. Often, the cause of corruption in a computer system is a bad download that installs harmful files. If you started to get the Appcrash error on your system after downloading a new program or software from the Internet, it’s highly likely you have downloaded a bad product. Use the “Add/Remove Programs” feature in the Control Panel to get rid of the program immediately.
2. Uninstall the program that is crashing. It is possible to fix the program’s corrupted files while the program is still installed, but to make sure that you clear the program files completely, it is safest to completely uninstall it from the system.
3. Run a full scan of your computer. Your computer should already have antivirus software installed that can scan for corrupted files and either fix them or delete them from your system. If you do not have antivirus software on your computer, that could be a big part of the problem. Purchase and install antivirus software as soon as possible. Once you have the antivirus program installed, open it and click “Scan Computer.” The antivirus scan will isolate bad files and you will be given the option to remove them from your system.
4. Reinstall the program that was crashing. Now that the corrupted files have all been removed, your program should run smoothly after reinstallation.
5. Check for program incompatibility. If, after a thorough scan and cleaning of your computer and reinstallation of your program, the Appcrash errors continue, the program you are trying to use may not be compatible with your operating system or other programs on your computer.

How to Repair Setup.exe

Troubleshooting Install/Uninstall
1. Terminate the program installation and delete the downloaded program. Download the program again and attempt to reinstall to replace missing files that may have been skipped during a previous installation.
2. Close the web browser to work offline if reinstallation is unsuccessful. Disable any antivirus software and firewall programs that may be halting the installation process, and repeat the installation or use the 'repair' feature if it is available. Enable AV software and firewalls before accessing the Internet.
3. Open the 'Event Viewer' to inspect the Windows log for errors that may have occurred during recent installs or uninstalls, or reports of missing .dll files. For Windows XP, the Event Viewer is available by clicking 'Start' > 'Control Panel' > 'Performance and Maintenance' > 'Administrative Tools' and double-clicking 'Computer Management' > 'Event Viewer.' Other Windows versions use similar pathways.
Finding and Replacing a Missing DLL File
4. Open 'Search' from the Windows 'Start' menu and type in the filename of the missing .dll file. Include hidden and system files in the search to locate the file in another program folder.
5. Repeat the search, if unsuccessful, on another computer using the same operating system or Windows version. A version mismatch of the .dll can corrupt the file on one computer, but an intact version can be retrieved from a computer with the same operating system.
6. Search online .dll databases for an unmodified version of the missing .dll. Download the file that corresponds to the Windows OS of the computer with the missing file.
7. Open the program folder of the program with the missing file, and copy the .dll file to the folder. Alternately, open the 'Windows' folder and insert the .dll file in the 'system32' folder. Reboot the computer.
8. Download and install a Registry Cleaner program if reinstallation or replacement of missing .dll files is unsuccessful. Create a system backup when prompted, and run a full system registry scan following all on-screen prompts.

How to Add DLL Files

1. Reinstall software that prompts messages of missing .dll files. Many pieces of software install .dll files on your computer as you install the software itself, and it could be that one of these files has been accidentally deleted or corrupted. Reinstalling the software can add or replace these files and often resolves .dll problems that only occur when using a specific software title. If this doesn't add the .dll files you need, proceed to the next step.
2. Visit a Web site that contains thousands of .dll files available for free download. A link to one such site can be found in the Resources section below.
3. Search the site for the .dll files you need. Make sure you read the file details in your search results to confirm that you've found the files you need.
4. Download the .dll files you need.
5. Move the .dll files to the system folder. The location of this folder varies by the version of Windows you are using. In Windows 95, 98 and ME, the folder path is 'C:\Windows\System.' In Windows 2000 and NT, it's 'C:\WINNT\System32.' The path for all 32-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista is 'C:\Windows\System32' and the path for 64-bit versions of these operating systems is 'C:\WindowsSysWOW64.'
6. Reboot your computer.
