Since this is a compaq, do you have insight manager installed if so Uninstall Compaq Insight Manager by going to control panel, add remove programs.. remove compaq insight agents..etc.
If not you will need to go to another machine and copy the DMIAPI32.dll file and place this file in your windows system folder. If you cannot do this in windows, go to a command prompt and it will let you copy it. If one is there it is probably corrupted.
Hope this helps.

I unistalled insight manager and then copied DMIAPI32.dll to the windows sys. folder. I went to the compaq sight and downloaded specified file. The error no longer comes up. Thanks for the tip.

Try this: Go into windows setup(control panel- add/remove programs)or use your Win 95 cd setup and look in accessories and install desktop management. This installs the DMIAPI32.dll. it will say this file is allready installed and will ask you if you want to keep it or reinstall it. Choose to reinstall it, this will fix your problem.
