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, PCR "Kothi" wrote in message ... | 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 |
