Default Corrupted COMCTL32.DLL

Hello,

I've some crosslinked files the other day, and after reboot, I could not
even get the system to boot up at all, the machine stalling at the following
error:

"SHELL32.DLL file cannot link to output function COMCTL32.DLL:
ImageList_Read."

After some researching, I've finally known that I just needed to replace the
corrupted COMCTL32.DLL with a fresh copy. Then it seemed my problems were
solved.

Then I tried to use my TV tuner card program. And it complained about
"Invalid class string" and I could not use it. I haven't been able to solve
this problem yet. Anyone has any ideas?

I also want to know if there is any way I can check all the system files
like dll and drivers so that I can pinpoint where my problem is. I think
COMCTL32.DLL may not be the only file that has been corrupted.

Herbert
