msnp32dll

You can resolve this issue by extracting the msnp32.dll file from the \win98\net7.cab file on the installation CD and copying it to the C:\Windows\System folder. You can open the cabinet file by double-clicking it, and then just copy and paste to the windows\system folder.

If this doesn't work, you may have to uninstall and re-install the Client for Microsoft Networks using the Network tool in the Control Panel.

Hope this helps.

This usually happens when installing/uninstalling ethernet card did not go well.

Uninstall and reinstall Client for Microsoft Networks.

Please post a comment if you need more help in detail.

Seems to be a fairly common problem, check out: http://computing.net/windows95/wwwboard/forum/101188.html
Basically you need to remove the client and re-install. Just using SFC or copying it won't solve the problem

I have experienced this situation before, and the cause is the incomplete or unsuccessful installation of network adaptor card drivers.

You can either solve by:

(1) If you are using Win 98SE, go to msconfig in start ---> run , and then locate the msnp32.dll, and untick this driver to prevent the OS from loading and searching for this dll file.

(2) A more complete solution can be obtained by running the Norton WinDoctor of the Norton System Works. The program will fix the dll problem.

Hope that works. Good luck.
