Do you have a Windows 98 CD? If I recall, W98 System File Checker wasn't all that great but it's worth a shot

Hi Bjohn! A possible quick fix, always worth a try when a DLL file plays up, is to go to WWW.DLLDLL.COM and download an up-to-date copy. Place it in the \system32 folder of your Windows 98 directory. But first make a backup copy of your current msimg32.dll (if it exists) so you can restore it if you have to.

All the web sites like www.dlldll.com keep the latest msimg32.dll which is for WindowsXP. It will not work on Windows 98. For Windows 98SE, the latest msimg32.dll file is one included with Windows ME installation. If you have WindowsME original CD, you will find the file inside the compressed cabinet file Win_12.cab. You can open the cabinet file using WinZip.
Put this file in /Windows/System folder of your Windows 98SE installation. Anyway, if you don't have the WindowsME installation disk, I have uploaded the file on rapidshare. Here is the link : http://rapidshare.com/files/127675360/msimg32.zip.html Hope this helps you.

QUOTE(fatum @ Apr 6 2009, 03:54 PM)  Place it in the \system32 folder of your Windows 98 directory. I don't think so fatum. Win98SE does have a system32 folder but there is only a drivers folder in there. Do as suggested by Romeo29 and put it in your Windows\System folder.

1. Place the new file in C:\
2. Boot into command-prompt mode by pressing quickly F8 when it says "Starting Windows 98" and selecting a mode. Or you can choose restart in Ms-dos from shutdown menu. 3. Rename old file, like ren c:\windows\system\msimg32.dll c:\windows\system\msimg32.dll.old 4. Copy new file, like copy c:\msimg32.dll c:\windows\system\ -------------------- |
