Corrupted COMCTL32.DLL
Hello,
I've some crosslinked files the other day, and after reboot, I could not even get the system to boot up at all, the machine stalling at the following error: "SHELL32.DLL file cannot link to output function COMCTL32.DLL: ImageList_Read." After some researching, I've finally known that I just needed to replace the corrupted COMCTL32.DLL with a fresh copy. Then it seemed my problems were solved. Then I tried to use my TV tuner card program. And it complained about "Invalid class string" and I could not use it. I haven't been able to solve this problem yet. Anyone has any ideas? I also want to know if there is any way I can check all the system files like dll and drivers so that I can pinpoint where my problem is. I think COMCTL32.DLL may not be the only file that has been corrupted. Herbert |

Corrupted COMCTL32.DLL

put finger to keyboard and composed: I've some crosslinked files the other day, and after reboot, I could not even get the system to boot up at all, the machine stalling at the following error: "SHELL32.DLL file cannot link to output function COMCTL32.DLL: ImageList_Read." After some researching, I've finally known that I just needed to replace the corrupted COMCTL32.DLL with a fresh copy. Then it seemed my problems were solved. When you have a crosslinked file, this means that your FAT has been corrupted. This is a potentially serious problem because the OS thinks that two or more files are sharing one or more clusters. If you have enabled a log file in Scandisk's Advanced settings, then look for scandisk.log in your root directory. Replace any files identified as crosslinked. Then I tried to use my TV tuner card program. And it complained about "Invalid class string" and I could not use it. I haven't been able to solve this problem yet. Anyone has any ideas? I also want to know if there is any way I can check all the system files like dll and drivers so that I can pinpoint where my problem is. I think COMCTL32.DLL may not be the only file that has been corrupted. Herbert - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
