Go to this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...asp&SD=MS&FR=0 Do a search for the missing file. Then, work through the various versions to work out the latest version suitable for your operating system. The information provided also includes where to get a replacement copy off your install media. -- _______________________________________ Hyperlinks used to ensure advice is current Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 (IE/OE) http://inetexplorer.mvps.org wrote in message ... every time I start up I get a "error starting program" message.

Since I suspect from the name that this one is a library needed for MicroSoft Visual C++ version 6.0, it is possible that a programmer assumed you had it (since he had), and you don't; some better programme sources do tell you something like "this software requires xyz.dll file(s) - if you don't already have them you can get them from here". If you can find out which prog. it is that is needing that particular .dll (does the error message say? Maybe referring to it as "module", or something .exe?), which is obviously something your system is configured to run at startup, then maybe if you go back to where you got it, there might be a link of this sort (and if there isn't, I expect such a common file will be available from lots of places, if I've guess right what it is); alternatively, you may well find that it isn't something you need to run every time you start anyway (not a lot needs that!), and you can stop it doing so (or trying to), although that won't help you run it when you actually do want to. (You may even find you do already have the file, but in some obscure directory; if so, you could try just moving or copying it to the Windows one, or other places Windows looks - I think Windows\system or '32 are candidates, have a look and see if there are already lots of .dlls there.) |
