Hi jraju and Shane,
I have tried all of the suggestions mentioned to no avail even trying the windows fixit tool (which was inaccessible)
The dsk check and sfc /scannow revealed nothing, telling me that it found no errors.
However I firmly believe that this dll file is at the root of the problem as all of the symptoms are there.
I'm sure you guys are tiring of this but I have got to get it repaired and working again.....any more suggestions....
Thanks for all your assistance....lamarjr
UPDATE:
Hi again, OK I took a gamble and it paid off (sort of). I searched until I found the dll32 file (a good copy) and copied it and replaced the faulty file with this one. I then went to control panel and tried internet options and it let me in....first try.
I set the home page to MSN.com and went to the advanced tab under tools (1st I set the default options under the general tab).
Then I went to the advanced tab and set it back to default but I may have missed something. Please advise me on this....
jraju, I believe you suggested this step
Now the problem is apparently there are a few other dll files corrupted but since I can now access the files and replace them Any idea of a free program that will identify and replace dll files?
I need to do this because I still cannot access IE when I click on the desktop icon. I believe if we can find the aforementioned program, we can put this problem in the solved file.
If it all works out, I will post a complete explanation of what was done for the members because as you know, this has been a real b**** to deal with so if you can reply as soon as you can so I can continue with the resolution of this issue.
PS: any other members are welcome to jump in and help.....Thanks again to Shane and jruju.....lamarjr
BTE: another pprogram that has helped me in the repair windows exe right on this sight....I'm not sure but it looks like a really serious program and I encourage everyone to support the authors efforts...
