Successful update to Win98SE - except . . . .
I updated win 98 to Win 98SE and everything seems to be going well
except that every time I start up I get the message: "The following system files have been replaced with older versions by a program you recently ran. These files are currently in use and cannot be automatically repaired. Windows may not run correctly until you exit and restart Windows so that these files can be automatically repaired. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DDEML.DLL " Everything seems to be working, but I'd like to get rid of this message .. 1) Where do I find the newer version? 2) How do I replace the older file with the newer version? (simple steps please) Thanks, An old-timer trying to keep up. Ed |

Maybe you need to update DDEML.DLL. The original version is on the
Windows CD-ROM. http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?ddeml or http://www.e-systems.ro/download-dll/ddeml.dll/ Bill Starbuck (MVP) |

Bill & Gary:
Thanks for pointing me in the right directions. Looks like they'll do the trick. It's past midnight now, so I'll tackle this tomorrow. I'll let you know how it all goes. Thanks, again Ed Gary S. Terhune wrote: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;183479 |

I printed out all the relevant KB articles in preparation for tackling
this problem, but the problem then disappeared. In its place I got another problem - computer doesn't shut down (freezes) while message "please wait while your computer shuts down" is displayed on the screen. I got all the relevant KB articles in preparation to tackle this problem, but then, this problem disappeared, too. It's all very weird! Just thought I'd let you all know. Thanks for getting me started on the right track. Ed Gary S. Terhune wrote: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;183479 |

For shutdown problems, you can't beat the advice at
www.aumha.org/win4/a/shutdown.htm. As for your hit & run problems--- "Ghost in the Machine" isn't just great music, s. -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP Shell/User "Old-timer" wrote in message ...

Thanks for another great tip. I've bookmarked it for easy reference.
Hope I don't have to use it. Ed Gary S. Terhune wrote: For shutdown problems, you can't beat the advice at www.aumha.org/win4/a/shutdown.htm. As for your hit & run problems--- "Ghost in the Machine" isn't just great music, s. |
