Hello, we are using Windows 98 and we were getting this message missing SHLWAPI.DLL . It also said problem loading IE you must reinstall windows. Now I've done a lot of research and found out that you can download the file-I did that, I also disabled IE in system.ini. When I restarted the computer and file manager opened, I was able to put the file into c:windows\system\ the file is there(in system). Now when I turn on the computer it says "SHELL32.DLL file and is linked to missing export
SHLWAPI.DLL: SHRREGGETUSVALUEA. Now i read I needed to register the file with resvrshlwapi.dll or! the long hand way tried both,,,no luck. I know how to get into reg in win2000 but in command prompt on 98 I don' understand the [L] and stuff can anyone please help? thanks, Sam F. |
