Please help with registry question...

Please note I'm no computer Wiz! So respond simply if you can. I have
Windows ME.

I'm having DLL Problems. I cannot access my files from My computer or
file Explorer. I have a split drive a C and a D. And cannot access
either.

I CAN access the Internet Explorer (Explorer 6), thus this mail.

Whenever I try to open my files I get:

"An unknown error has occurred in..."

SHDOCVW.DLL or sometimes DIMM.DLL or sometimes SHELL32.DLL .

It used to say just an unknown error "has occurred", thus it lead me to
believe it was Spyware.

I have run ADAWARE, SPYBOT, CWSHREDDER, and STINGER. I have also run a
few registry cleaners, but I think this could of made the problems
worse. I don't know.

I went to a website called "dll-file.com" and tried to download the DLL
files. However, when I try to replace the files the ones there are
protected and I can't seem to replace, just in case they are corrupted.

THE BIG PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT MY CD'S THAT CAME WITH MY COMPUTER ARE
NOT READILY AVAILABLE. I AM IN JAPAN AND THEY ARE SOMEWHERE IN
AMERICA. I CANNOT JUST WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

If this has only very recently (last few days) happened, you could try
running System Restore and roll-back to before the 'editing' took place.
With a bit of luck, it should get you back to where you were.

BTW - Don't worry too much if you don't have your WinMe CD available. If
necessary, you should be able to get "fresh" copies of any missing/damaged
original files from your CAB files, located in the C:\Windows\Options\Instal
or CABS folder.

These will be compressed, so you may need to use msconfig.exe to extract
them.
