RE-REGISTER THE SYSTEM DLL FILES
First try this. Go to START > RUN and then type:
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
Press Enter. You should see a brief message that the dll has been successfully registered.
Do the same with the following, one at a time, pressing enter after each:
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
Then download and install this Microsoft patch, which will install DLL files that
are compatible with Win9x:
MCREPAIR.EXE
Answer YES when prompted to replace a Newer file with an Older version.
2. REVERT TO A REGISTRY BACKUP
If the above hasn't solved the problem, boot to DOS (using a bootable floppy disk,
e.g. from http://www.bootdisk.com)
and type the following at the C:\ prompt -
SCANREG /RESTORE
Note the space before the forward slash in this command.
Follow the on-screen instructions, and try to restore the *oldest* backup of the
registry (they're listed by date) as that's the one with the best chance of being
from before the problem arose.
By default Windows keeps 5 backup copies of the Windows Registry, so that you can
go back to before the problem arose.
When an on-screen message tells you that the registry has been successfully restored,
restart the computer normally.
3. USE SYSTEM RESTORE
If the above hasn't solved the problem, use Win ME's "system restore" function to
return the system to a point before the problem arose, if you have System Restore
enabled in your computer.
For details, do a google search on the phrase "System Restore in Windows ME" at http://www.google.com
-
"System Restore in Windows ME" + DOS
Accessing System Restore without Windows Explorer -
You could try using Program Manager (Progman.exe) rather than Windows Explorer to
access System Restore. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article 279736 at Knowledge Base article 279736.
Start your computer by using a Windows ME Startup disk. At the Startup menu, choose
"Minimum Boot". At the command prompt, type this and then press ENTER -
edit c:\windows\system.ini
Edit the shell= line so that it looks like this:
shell=progman.exe
Press ALT+F, then press S to save the changes to the System.ini file. Press ALT+F,
then press X. Remove your Windows Me Startup disk, then restart your computer.
When your computer restarts, Program Manager should start. On the File menu, click
on RUN and then type MSCONFIG in the Command Line box, then press ENTER. Click on
"Launch System Restore" to begin restoring your computer to a previous, functional
state.
NOTE: After you configure your computer to start Program Manager, you can start the
System Restore tool by typing the following at a command prompt, and then pressing
ENTER -
c:\windows\system\restore\rstrui.exe
WARNING: If you use System Restore you will LOSE all the work you have done, and
all the files you have either created, modified or downloaded, since the last Restore
point was created.
