Default SHELL32.dll & SHELL.dll files problem

hi guys! my pc is giving me problem lately whenever I
tried to open up the Scandisk program at the System Tools
from the Start menu. I'm using the WinME. Whenever i want
to run the Scandisk, the windows system would prompt me a
message on either the "Shell32.dll or the Shell.dll cannot
be startup, open the file and determine the problem"!!
I tried to reinstall the WinME, the problem still exist.
Why is this happening? Is it due to the NoAds software(for
blocking popup ads) which i have installed recently?? But
i have uninstalled it and the error message still shows up.

PLS HELP ME!!!!!

Have you checked for viruses and other malware such as commercial parasites?

You may want to check out the MS KB259096 - "Error Message When You Open a New
Folder" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=259096) and see if that suggestion
helps solve you problem.

This might be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free
Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and
also SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them
to check your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are
only as good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a
program called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that
checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp.
