cannot run any programs please please help, not my pc
I have stupidly borrowed a friends laptop and let my
boyfriend play with it. I don't know what he did to it but I can't get anything to run. I think the pc is running Windows 98, but a Windows 95 logo comes up when you first startup. Once you get to the Windows screen you get a message saying on the header "C:\msoffice\Office\Ms Office.EXE", with content"there is not enough free memory to run this program. Quit one or more programs and then try again." I then get a load of "Error Starting Program" messages saying "There is not enough memory to start....... Quit some programs and then try again." These are the prorams it can't start: RPORT4.DLL C:\Ms Office\Office\MS OFFICE.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RUNONCE.EXE SHELL.32.DLL IRMON.EXE C:\Windows\TASKMON.EXE SHELL 32.EXE MFC.40.DLL After this I can't do anything ,it just freezes up or has a reaction time of about 5 minutes. I don't know what to do and have to give the pc back soon. Please help Thanks in advance |

Are you sure of all spelling?
I find no trace of RPORT4.DLL and the space in MSOFFICE.EXE is not normal. If you really mean SHELL32.EXE then you most likely have a virus. If your SHELL32.EXE is a typo then read on. If not, fix the virus. Can you start in safe mode? If so, check in Msconfig for any oddities. (Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab) If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then: Start-Run-msinfo32 Click the + beside Software Environment to expand. Click Startup Programs Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy. Paste that information in your message. You won't be able to if it is Win95, so check in Control Panel-Systems to see if Win95 or Win98.

Hi Alan,
sorry, duh! I hope you're not the only Alan in the world, or I've been deceived many times. Anyway..back to the problem I've created. The SHELL32.EXE is correct spelling, but when I try to open the VET anti virus program it gives me this message: There is not enough free memory to open the program...or something to that effect...sorry. I will make sure of the spelling of the other messages and get back to you. Thanks again "Alan" mich -----Original Message----- Are you sure of all spelling?
