I need to replace a corrupt oleaux.dll -

1) where is this file located originally??
2) i can't find it in my comp. or even over the internet in microsoft's website. so it's not a windows file. that means, no need to reinstall windows
3) is everything in your computer working fine? if not, what's the prob?
4) if there is/are problem(s), then my guess is re-install the prog. or you have a virus.
that's all i can say...hehhehe
btw, don't go to Mac unless you are dealing with something special...if it's home use, don't bother...
hope it helps...ciao

Insert the OS cd and run the system file check again it possible is on the cd and you can reinstall,by following the on screen instructions,to locate the file.

It sounds like to me that this particular dll file is not a Windows9X dll file. It sounds like this file comes from a possible third party vendor application. Try to see which application is giving you this error message and see if you can try to uninstall this application to correct the problem! I hope you can find the solution to this problem.

Are you actually having a problem with something or is the only "Symptom" that the system file checker told you that you had a problem ? If this is the case, don't run the system file checker and your golden...

Thanks.....Jeremy

What kind of problems were you having? While running a particular program? What program?

If the problems are coming from running a particular program, reinstall it to replace the corrupted file. The file looks like a link library to communicate with your system ports.

I agree with the person who answered that this is not a Windows 95 or 98 operating system file. It is probably from a graphic software, or page layout or word processing software (or even a spreadsheet) that isn't a microsoft product. OLE--object linking and embedding is a feature of these programs as well as microsoft programs. You may want to check with your software vendors on their tech support sites for information about OLE dll files.

WHAT PROBLEMS ARE YOU HAVING? WHAT FOLDER IS IT IN? I HAVE OLEACC.DLL AND OLEAUT32.DLL MOST OLE---.DLL'S I HAVE SEEM TO BE RELATED TO THE INTERNET PORTIONS OF DIFFERENT APPS LIKE MESSAGING AND MSOFFICE97,ETC. WHERE IS THE FILE AND WHAT IS IT LINKED TO AND THAT SHOULD TELL YOU HOW TO FIND IT. OR TRY INSTALLING MCAFEE UNINSTALLER (YOU CAN FIND IT @ SOMEPLACE LIKE COMPUSA OR KMART ON A SINGLE CD FOR 9.99). IT WILL SEARCH YOUR SYSTEM AND SORT ALL YOUR FILES SO WHEN YOU CLICK ON A FILE AND CHOOSE PROPERTIES AND THE UNINSTALLER TAB IT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING THAT USES THE FILE. REINSTALLING WHATEVER USES THAT FILE SHOULD FIX THAT FILE.

Run a find on your drive for this file and note its location. It should tell you which program it belongs to. It is definetaly NOT a win9x file.
When you know what prog it belongs to simply reinstall that prog

This is the best site on the net for DLL's. They have a lot and if they don't have it just put in a request on the Bulliten Board. Good Luck. Ian.

Is there actually a problem? Other than SFC says there may be corruption? SFC is kinda dumb in this respect, and will say a file *may* be corrupt just because it doesn't recognize it.

Find your copy of the file and check its properties. What version #? What date? Whose file is it? I seem to recall that file being a necessary item for certain programs if you were installing on an old 95 system that didn't have the usual updates applied, but that it's unnecessary for an up-to-date system.
