My questions are: What are type libraries? Could this possibly be related to my icon problem? Is it safe to remove them? Thanks. HP Pavilion - Pentium® 4CPU 160GB HDD 512 MB RAM Windows XP SP2 Home This post has been edited by boopme: May 17 2008, 09:44 AM

The following is an excerpt from this article. A type library is a binary file containing all the type information you need to use procedures. The article goes on to explain this in simpler terms.
There are three files associated with error, * stdole32.tlb,* stdole2.tlb,* stdole.tlb. Go to Start> Search> All files and folders and enter stdole*.tlb in the All or part of file name, click on enter. See if one of these three files is missing. You may need to run a repair installation. There is a pretty good tutorial here if you need some help. -------------------- "I would never join any club that would have me as a member" Groucho Marx

You may need to run a repair installation. There is a pretty good tutorial here if you need some help. The search turned up all three files mentioned above and 3 more files of the same name(s) showing in blue font located in C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache. Thanks for the links. I do not understand why my post was moved. My problem is with XP. All my problems are with XP. Aren't missing type libraries an OS issue? I only mentioned Glary Utilities as an explanation for how I came by the information that the type libraries were missing. Are type libraries part of individual applications rather than Windows? I am asking so I won't post in the wrong place again. I also have a plethora of errors regarding Symbol Files showing in Dr Watson logs and would think the post should go in Windows XP - but maybe not?? |

If you're wondering why it was moved, the best course of action is to send a PM to the moderator that moved it. In this case that would be boopme
