DLL Hell?

Chas.- Please help us. The message when I boot up comes across the a DLLfileLTFIL1ON.DLL
cannot be found. I read the article on
“DLL Hell” on this site, and it does not give me any answers.
Perhaps a dammaged hard drive????? or what? Is there a fix-it program, or should I first try to reinstall Windows 98???
