Reinstalling IE6
Dear Mike,
comctl32.dll-5.81.4916.400 shlwapi.dll-6.0.2800.1740 shell32.dll-5.50.4134.100 crypt32.dll-5.131.2133.6 cryptui.dll-5.131.2133.2 You may be right about another source of the problem though all virus etc. scans seem to come up empty. Sincerely, Mr. David Oltmann "Mike M" wrote in message ... David. Please supply the version number for these files. You will find this as I previously mentioned on the Version tab of their Properties sheet. I can't see how shell32.dll can be either missing or incorrect. The time stamp is correct for the only version released for use with Win Me and this forms part of the initial installation. The version number being 5.50.4134.100. The dates for the other files suggest they might be: comctl32.dll 29 Aug 02. This is correct for IE SP1. There is no later version. I suspect you will find it to be v5.81.4916.400 shlwapi.dll 31 Aug 05. This is the latest version for Win Me and first installed as part of Hotfix 896688 and also included in the more recent 905915 hotfix released earlier this month. I think you will find the version to be 6.0.2800.1740 crypt32.dll 12 Sep 02. This is correct for Hotfix KB329115 [MS02-005]. These is no later version for Win Me. I think you will find this to be version 5.131.2133.6 So, in summary, I believe the files you mention to all be the latest versions released fore Win Me. It would appear that your problem is not that the files are missing, they clearly aren't, and that the error message you are seeing when attempting to install IE6 SP1 (which is already installed) has a different origin as does that when you attempt to install PDF-XChange. It's possible that you are going to have to go the IEradicator route and rip out IE and then reinstall it afresh. -- Mike Maltby David Oltmann wrote: Dear Mike, comctl32.dll - August 29, 2002, 7:07:38 AM - August 29, 2002, 7:07:38 AM shlwapi.dll - August 31, 2005, 5:49:30 PM - August 31, 2005, 5:49:30 PM shell32.dll - no date of creation - modified June 8, 2000, 5:00:00 PM crypt32.dll - December 4, 2003, 12:20:34 PM - September 12, 2002, 3:51:08 PM cryptui.dll - no date of creation - modifiedJune 8, 2000, 5:00:00 PM Note: Your suggested fix didn't work but did elicit the notice that the files are missing from the "Installation Folder".

Reinstalling IE6
Dear Noel and Mike et al,
Not to belabour a point but after reading a bunch of Noel's methods of ripping out and reintalling WindowsMe and IE6 etc. am left to wonder 1. Why my keyboard is not recognized in "safe mode" and whether there is an adjustment that can be made in Me to correct this? 2. What is the difference in setup.exe and OEMsetup.exe?

Reinstalling IE6
1. Why my keyboard is not recognized in "safe mode" and whether there
is an adjustment that can be made in Me to correct this? Is this a USB keyboard? If so have you enabled USB Legacy support in the system bios? 2. What is the difference in setup.exe and OEMsetup.exe? I'm unclear as to the relevance of this question if removing and reinstalling IE or have you now decided to throw in the towel and go for a clean install of Win Me? There is no need to reinstall Win Me if all you wish to do is to remove IE using IEradicator and then reinstall IE6 SP1. -- Mike Maltby David Oltmann wrote: Dear Noel and Mike et al, Not to belabour a point but after reading a bunch of Noel's methods of ripping out and reintalling WindowsMe and IE6 etc. am left to wonder 1.

If your Keyboard is USB, then you'll need to enable Legacy USB support in
the BIOS not sure about the setup/OEMsetup diff - but I'd steer clear of the OEMSetup, if I were you -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "David Oltmann" wrote in message .. .

Reinstalling IE6
Dear Mike and Noel et al,
Hmmmmm! As I may have mentioned I had a competent technician do a reinstallation some time ago. Unfortunately, as I have discovered from your comments he neglected to enable the Legacy emulation you mention for the proper keyboard. Also thanks to your comments I have been able to find the workaround posted in the knowledge base (ie. standard keyboard) which is a whole lot less dangerous than fiddling with the BIOS it seems. Such is important when one might end up having to reinstall Me and cannot type in safe mode or during emergency boot.. I note as well as the comments made regarding the dangerous nature of this "IEradicator" http://www.georgedillon.com/web/freeware/ierad.shtml that it is specifically for IE versions prior to 5.5. Is there are version available for IE6? Sincerely, Mr. David Oltmann "Mike M" wrote in message ... 1.

Reinstalling IE6
David
IERadicator comes in two forms - which is why I am very specific about which one to run, in my page - run the wrong one, and you may have to reinstall ME (again?) to get back the full functionality! Note that the article you refer to was written in 2000 - and IE 6 came out shortly before it was updated in 2002 - there are ways to reinstall the MSJVM after removing it, but since most software now uses the Sun Java engine, it seemed unnecessary to put that up there. They are in any case totally wrong about their warning! (although, as I advise, you obviously need to back up your favourites first!) IIRC, IERadicator no longer claims to be compatible with Win95 - which is what they tested it on Things move on a lot in 4 years!! -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "David Oltmann" wrote in message .. .
