Mfc42.dll is extractable from WIN_12.CAB on the WinMe CD in the \win9x
folder. You might also find a copy of the WIN_12.CAB in the widows\options
folder on your C: drive.

You can use msconfig.exe to extract it.

The correct location for mfc42.dll is in the windows\system folder.

I have been errors in Windows ME lately, requiring scandisk fixes. No,
when
I try to run three different programs, I am getting the error message, "A
requrired DLL file, MFC42.dll, was not found." I know there are websites
that will provide DLL files. Should I just try to dowload the MFD42.dll
file? Or, does this error message indicate some other problem? If so, I
will appreciate advice.
