I cannot access the Internet via one of my computers due to receiving an error on the above .dll file. From the research I've done, it appears that this was a "bad" file provided by MS for IE (I currently have IE Version 5.00.2314.1003) on the PC Iam having difficulty with. I've done several things such as reinstalling Win '98/IE, deleting the file, however I am still receiving this message. Has anyone had this problem and if you successfully fixed it, would you pls share what you've done?
Many thanks! Cheryl

I've done the above, and no longer receive the error message for the .dll file. Unfortunately, IE indicates that "page not found".....I tried various internet addresses to ensure that the address was correct. Thanks for trying to help!!

It may be as easy as running sfc.exe the System FIle Checker for Win98 usually does a pretty good job.

Long shot but a quick and easy shot, who knows it may find something else wrong.
START>RUN -sfc.exe let it scan for altered system files
