Rename the existing file and extract a fresh copy from your Windows 98 =
CD.

Install the Visual Basic 6.0 Run-times, from the link in this MSKB article, to
install a current version of that file along with its related library files -

I downloaded the file then when I tried to open it I get a Visual Basic 6.0
Runtime Files box which tells me ...Error registering the ocx
C:\Windows|system\OLEAUT32.dll....

Any other suggestions? I really appreciate your taking the time to help.

I have the feeling there is more to the story than you are telling. When did the
problem start, and what happened prior to it occurring? I assume you have checked
for malware with the apps you mentioned, after first installing the latest updates
for them (Ad-Aware, SpyBot, PC-Cillin)....did they find any malware? If so what was
it, and how was it removed?
