Windows system file not found on startup

When my pc boots up the Bios recognises all drives etc it goes through the usual
process all the way to the Windows start up screen with no problems at all. Then
finally when it gets to the desktop screen and before anything, like the taskbar
etc loads up, the following message appears 'A required DLL file C:\Windows\SYSTEM\SHLWAP.DLL'.
with an option to 'ok' it. Then another another message appears after that 'Error
loading Explorer.exe You must reinstall Windows'. again with an 'ok' below it. After
that the only option is to turn it off as the pc becomes non responsive. I don't
have a start-up disk as I lost it but I do have the original Win98 SE CD and have
tried to boot from this. I'm guessing that the contents on my hard drives are safe
and not damaged or at least I'm hoping that's the case. I'm not to up on Windows
errors, si can anyone help?
