DLL files
My grand-dad plays online games on my computer and he
downloaded a self install program regarding one of these games. However, the install was in French and I now know when it asked him if he wanted to replace the newer dll files with old versions, he clicked OK. My question is how do I get the newer dll files back again, not as I know which ones were replaced. |

DLL files
Since you don't know the files involved probably the only way is to use system
restore and to roll the system back to before the game was installed but I would suggest you do this if it was installed no more than a few days ago. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Keith wrote: My grand-dad plays online games on my computer and he downloaded a self install program regarding one of these games.

I was not aware gramps did this over 3 weeks ago, however, I have found the file listing what the install presumably overwrote, here is just one example from quite a few. [Bootstrap Files] ,$(WinSysPathSysFile),,,6-1-98 12:00:00 AM,326656,4.21.0.0 So how do I go about finding the original ones so I can put them back. |

That's one file for sure that would not have been overwritten since it is
protected from being overwritten by Win Me's System File Protection mechanism. To be honest until you post details of the actual problems that you are experiencing as a result of installing this game including all error messages I see little point in doing anything. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP wrote: I was not aware gramps did this over 3 weeks ago, however, I have found the file listing what the install presumably overwrote, here is just one example from quite a few.

Hello Mike,
I'm not actually receiving any eror messages or experiencing any problems. I just presumed I would be in due course as the dll files are now old ones. |

In which case I'd leave well alone. Win Me's System File Protection will have
prevented some 850+ files from being overwritten by inappropriate versions so if all is going well I'd leave it at that. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP wrote: Hello Mike, I'm not actually receiving any eror messages or experiencing any problems.
