Is there a patch or replacement for shell32.dll for windows95 version 4.00.950 B. I cannot use the service 1 pack as it takes my version backwards and screws things up. The shell32.dll file I currently have is version 4.00.1111 and keeps causing page faults in my netscape 4.73 messenger. Only when I click on either forwarded or returned undeliverable mails.

Thanks

The version 4.00.xx shell32.dll was shipped with Win95 and WinNT and the latest update from that product line is 4.00.951 (from Service Pack 1).

However, IE4 was released with v4.71 and Windows2000 was released with version v5.0 so either of those are possible sources but if you're going to go with the v5.0 file, you may need shlwapi.dll (v5.0) and/or comctl32.dll (v5.80 or v5.81).

If it's any consolation, there have been shell32.dll issues with IE as well...

hope this helps....

Make a copy of the old shell32.dll to a floppy. Install the service pack. Rename the new shell32.dll to shell32.old. Replace it with the copy you saved to floppy.
