OK - it looks like you've extracted the COMCTL32.DLL
file to the wrong
place!
Let's try again

from a floppy boot.......
at the A:\ prompt, type

extract /a c:\windows\options\cabs\win_10.cab
comctl32.dll /l
c:\windows\system


NOTE -- the above is all one line - starting
at 'extract', and ending at
'\system'

From a DOS boot
DIR C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COMCTL*.*
what shows up?
DIR C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /V
What does that say about your explorer.exe file?

This is a short thread - you should see some of
them!

OK - you have an OEM install - not a problem....
replace
C:\windows\options\install\win_10.cab
with
C:\windows\options\CABS\win_10.cab

Ahah!!
don't worry about that - you have already
renamed
it
earlier, so it doesn't
exist any more.
Proceed to the next step

Sorry Noel. I followed your great
instructions
to
the
letter, but can't get past this :
ren comctl32.dll comctl32.386
I get:-file not found-comctl32.dll not found.
Thanks for your time-again!

Just in case....
here's the instructions again - trimmed to
remove
irrelevancies.

Insert the Windows startup disk in the floppy
disk
drive, and then restart
your computer.
Click Start computer with CD-ROM support from
the
startup menu that appears,
and then press ENTER.
At the command prompt, type the following
commands.
Press ENTER after each
command line:
c:
cd \windows\system
ren comctl32.dll comctl32.xxx
a:

Insert the Windows Millennium Edition CD-ROM
in
the
CD-
ROM or DVD-ROM drive,
type the following line, and then press
ENTER:

extract /a drv:\winme\win_10.cab
comctl32.dll /l
c:\windows\system
(note the above is all one line - starting
at 'extract,
ending in 'system')

where drv is the letter that alphabetically
follows
the
drive letter that is
normally assigned to your CD-ROM drive. For
example,
if
the drive letter
that is normally assigned to your CD-ROM
drive
is
D,
type E in the command.

NOTE: If you have an original equipment
manufacturer
(OEM) installation of
Windows Millennium Edition, the Windows
installation
files may be stored in
the following location:
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL

To extract the file, type the following line,
and
then
press ENTER:

extract /a
C:\Windows\Options\Install\win_10.cab
comctl32.dll /l
c:\windows\system
(note the above is all one line - starting
at 'extract,
ending in 'system')

Remove the Windows startup disk from the
floppy
disk
drive, and then restart
your computer.
