Default Explorer error during windows 98 start up!

Hi

Everytime I start up windows 98 I get an Explorer error
dialog

"This program has performed an illegal operation and
will be shut down"

When I clicked on the details it complains about some
invalid page fault in module DLNDI.DLL

Please help.

Thanks
Kothi

Default Explorer error during windows 98 start up!

I have no such "DLNDI.DLL", nor is it in my Win98SE .cabs.
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=DL...=Google+Search
No one has heard of it at Google Groups. Have you spelt it correctly?

A .DLL may be started in the Startup Group by RunDLL32.exe. Also, there
may be other ways it gets started. Therefore, selectively prevent the
non-MS items in "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab", to see which is
starting it.

(1) If your virus checker has quarantined an item, a call to something
that uses DLNDI.DLL may yet be in the Startup Group. It is trying to
activate but cannot. So, "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab", & uncheck
it. Next, go to your virus scanner's site, to see whether there are
other finishing touches to apply.

(2) If you've uninstalled something lately, much the same applies.
Reinstall it, & uninstall it again properly in "Control Panel,
Add/Remove Programs". That way, if anything else was left behind, it too
will hopefully go.

(3) Well, consider...

Check the Registry for a mention of it, Export, & Delete the line.
However, if the line is in an MRU (Most Recently Used) list, just let it
be...

(a) "START, Run, RegEdit".
(b) Select "Find" in the Edit menu. Search for "DLNDI.DLL", no quotes.
(It may take a while.)

(c) "Registry menu, Export Registry file".

This will create a ".reg" file of the entire Key that is open...
all the items in the right pane & any sub-keys in the left pane
(supposing there was a plus sign on the one highlighted). Give it a name
& location of your choosing, even to the Desktop or My Documents. Then,
if something goes wrong with the following, you will be able to simply
click that file, to Merge it's contents back into the Registry.

(d) R-Clk the item(s) in the right or left pane that specifically
mentions "DLNDI.DLL", and select Delete.
Anything in an MRU list may be left alone.
You know what? Perhaps just do the Export's & post them.
(e) Continue the search, at step (b).


By default, when a ".reg" is clicked, it will Merge into the Registry.
To alter the default behavior: "START, Settings, Folder Options, File
Types tab". Scroll to & click "Registration Entries", click the "Edit"
button, select "edit" in the window & click the "Set Default" button.
Now, when you click a ".reg" file, it will open in Notepad for
examination. To merge it into the Registry, R-Clk it & select "Merge".

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
