Sorry, I got hung up. I resolved the Network Connection issue. Thanks again for your help. Hopefully the WR resolved the original instability so I can do a proper back up. Have a super day.

  It actually took a bit less than 48 hours to complete. I am now having a “problem with the driver for the Wireless Network Connection adapter“. If you would like, I can open a new thread in a more appropriate forum. But as long as I have you here... any ideas are gladly accepted.

  Ooops. I am terribly sorry about that, the “32" missing completely got passed me. Yes, the error message shows COMCTL32.dll, however a search returns 321 copies of comctl32.dll two of which are located in C:\Win\Sys32 and C:\Win\WOW64 the others appear to be associated with other programs. I have determined that the problems involving Google Drive are involved in the COMCTL32.dll errors. WR still running. Currently at 1day, 7hours. Still at Section 8, about 12 hours now.

  No worries. I'll keep an eye out for any of his posts. I understand about Summers and family.  Thanks for your time and attention Boggins.

Hey,
Just didn't want you to think that I wasn't coming back. I always hated that, lol. Currently still in WR 8 Repair MDAC/MS Jet. Currently at almost 24 hours. Task Manager is showing up to 250,000,000 page faults, which I am guessing is responsible for the extensive run time. Please let me know if you have any other ideas.  I'll be back.

Hi,
Thanks to you both for your assistance. After a few rounds of  sfc /scannow and Chkdsk, I was finally able to update WR, it is running now. Yes, I am running in SM w/network. I will see how far I get, and then try the next suggestion. I will report back on my progress. Thanks again.
TTFN,

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I have stopped WR and run a search for comctl32.dll files, and there are a rather surprising 321 copies on my C drive. Do you know if these are all required? A large number end with mui. I am going to reregister the main two in Sys32 and Wow64. I will check back after trying the fix again.
All the best,
LGW

Hi,
First post here. You have a very friendly site 
I found a similar question but the user didn't come back to finish the answer. I am currently running WR 3.9.27 and the regsvr32.exe System Error reads "The program can't start because COMCTL.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." However, no program is listed, also I think that WR is stuck in the loop of registration with this one file. Both Drive Read and Write show zero bytes used, and have for well over 15 hours. If I stop the program and manually register the two main versions of the dll, will there be a problem with repairs going forward? I have been having lots of problems with my laptop recently, and need to stabilize it to get some data off and into the cloud. Google Drive is one of the programs that I am having problems with
Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
LGW
