My Daughter's computer at college keeps popping up a message upon startup about a missing c:\windows\NEWDOT~2.DLL. I do not know which program is calling for it but the computer runs fine except for this annoying pop up.

I cannot locate a source for downloading Dill's on the web without paying for a year membership. Do you know of a free source for locating dill's? Or is there a way to eleminate this message?

For Windows 98/ME: Start|Run and type "MSCONFIG" (without the quotes). Click on Startup tab and uncheck any line that contains NEWDOT.
If she runs Windows 2000 or XP, you need to fix it in the Registry. Please let me know by posting further information.

Thank you so much for your help.
I called my daughter last night and walked her through your suggestion and it eleminated the pop up missing dill box.
