One of my c0-workers reported to me a error message when she booted up this morning. The error was "Batmeter.dll is linked to missing export setupapi.dll: setup..." I went to Microsoft knowledgebase and followed the directions to resolve the problem. I renamed the dlls batmeter.dll, seupapi.dll and cfgmgr32.dll. Used system file checker and reinstalled the dlls using my windows98SE disc, system is also windows 98SE. Rebooted loged her back into the network ( Novell 4.1) and now get the error "Systray.exe linked to missing export batmeter.dll:destroy batmeter. I then went back to microsoft knowledge base but could not find this error message. I'm now asking my fellow peers in Techrepublic for help.

I am not sure what you ask about the error message, but this is a copy of the Microsoft KB article about the Batmeter error. Sorry if it is not what you are seeking.
To work around this issue, rename the following files to a .old file extension, extract new copies of these files to the Windows\System folder, and then restart your computer:

Batmeter.dll

Setupapi.dll

Cfgmgr32.dll

To rename a file, right-click it, click Rename , type the new file name, and then press ENTER.For information about extracting files, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
