(A) Extract RUNDLL32.EXE, if "access denied" is mentioned...

RUNDLL32.EXE
Desc: Run a DLL as an App
Loc: C:\WINDOWS
Size: 24,576 bytes
Mod: Friday, April 23, 1999 10:22:00 PM
Ver: 4.10.1998

That is old enough (Win98SE) never to have been modified by an update.
So, extract it with SFC.

(1) "START, Run, SFC"
(2) Bolt "Extract one file from installation disk"
(3) Enter "RUNDLL32.EXE" in the "Specify..." box.
(4) Click "Start". It should offer to "Save file in C:\WINDOWS".
If not, make it so.
(5) In "Restore from", if not already pre-filled, browse to
(a) Installation CD (likely the Win98 folder) or
(b) The folder that has your cabs on the hard drive, likely
"C:\WINDOWS\options\cabs\".
(5) Click "OK"

If it discovers the file already exists, it will offer to back it up.
May as well do so. If it discovers the file is "in use", it will request
that you reboot to complete the install.

There were so many complaints about Rundll32.exe that I wrote a master
post about it.

As you know, I write a lot of master posts also. However, I don't believe
in guessing at the problem because that doesn't cause people to make posts
that have the proper information. I ask people to provide the specific
information and I don't care who answers the question. I would like people
to initially post the information we need to troubleshoot their problem and
the only way to do this is to tell them their post is not adequate.

I understand, but =MY= master posts generally have that under control.
There is usually an URL of value in every one!
