Mshta has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL

Probably best to - it'll prevent your AV getting in the way.

Noel,
Should I do the reinstall from Safe Mode?




-----Original Message-----
Hmm - that's correct, also.....
It may be worth extracting new copies from the CAB files -
kernel32.dll is
in the WIN_11.CAB -

MSHTA.EXE will be a little more difficult to replace, as
it's the newer
version - you'd probably best do this one by reinstalling
the latest update
for it.....
which is IE6SP1
If the Repair didn't work, then use the reinstall option,
and see if that
improves things

Noel,
I will try the repair that you suggested tomorrow
anyway my version of KERNEL32.DLL is 4.90.0.3000


-----Original Message-----
That's one heck of a list of updates you have there!
All seems to be in order, although I'm surprised to see
so many superseded
patches in the list (mine is a lot shorter, possibly
as a
result of using
the Security CD a number of times)
The MSHTA version is the correct one - and the same as
mine.
We would seem to have eliminated the obvious so.....
run a repair of IE
Reboot to Safe Mode
Go to Add/Remove Programs and try a repair of Internet
Explorer from there.
Go to the entry for 'Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1
and Internet Tools'
in Add/Remove Programs
Click on Remove - and click on Repair on the window
that
pops up
Reboot on request to Normal Mode

If the above entry isn't there, you first need to
uninstall all the patches
applied, then do the repair, then reapply the patches
The patches are listed in Add/Remove under the
names 'Internet Explorer
Qxxxxxx'
highlight, click Remove - reboot if requested.
Repeat until the MSIE6SP1 entry appears - then repair
as
above.

You'll obviously need to reinstall the removed patches
afterwards!

if that doesn't fix it, then what is the version number
of KERNEL32.DLL??


HTH
