error loading explorer.exe. SHLWAPI.dll
I have a PC that i installed Win98SE on and then went on to install IE6. This
PC is not on the internet and the only reason i need the IE6 was because i have a HP Deskjet 3745 that needed a version of IE that was over version 5. After about a week of the PC running ok, it was rebooted and came up with the error: Error loading explorer.exe. You must reinstall Windows After clicking to get past this another error popped up saying; Error starting program C:\windows\system\SHLWAPI.dll not found I have read through other fixes for this and as of yet have not tried any because i am trying to find out what version of the above file i should have. Before i installed IE6 i had version 5.00.2614.3500 and after installing IE6 i had version 6.00.2660.0000. This looks to me like a newer version, and so i cannot see why it is causing a problem. Surely me extracting the original file from the Win98SE CD will make the file too old. I am getting very confused with all this. And any help as to how to get the PC booted up and working would be great. If i reinstall Windows98SE i still need to have my printer working and so will need IE6 again. This in turn will cause the same problem. Please help me! Gary |
