Reinstalling ME - DLL missing
When I try to reinstall Windows ME at about 65% completion I get the
following error message: "SUWIN caused a general protection fault in module verx.dll at 0002:24AE " In the Microsoft knowledge base - it says the cause is "This issue may occur when you try to reinstall Windows Me on a computer that has Windows Media Player 9 installed on it. " To resolve this issue, you can use an MS-DOS emergency disk to start your computer. Then rename Windows Media Player files to revert your version of Windows Media Player to version 7. After you reinstall Windows Me, you can upgrade Windows Media Player to the latest version. Here is the link to the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888555/en-us I am fine at thecommand prompt when I type • c: • cd windows\system But when I type: • ren wmp*.dll *.lld Or • ren wmp.ocx *.xco it says " required parameter missing" I have no idea what they are looking for. I "think" the "ren" means rename, and "wmp" means windows media player. I think I need to enter something at the end of the line to rename Windows Media Player files to back to version 7. Please any help would be greatly appreciated. I cannot open any files without getting "required .DLL file winspool.DRV not found" thanks |

Reinstalling ME - DLL missing
Try this command from C:\Windows\System (after using a boot floppy) DEL WMPLOC.DLL (press Enter) If successful, retry the WinME installation. Zee "4Callanans" wrote in message ...
