verx.dll error

I replaced a Gigabit motherboard with an MSI. After a bit
of work I finally got the drivers for the new motherboard
to load, as well as the external devices. Now, I am
receiving fatal exception errors when in Windows
explorer. Also, Windows IE 6 and Outlook are giving me
fatal errors when I log onto the internet. I tried to re-
install ME, (OEM version) but keep getting a wrong
version error. I then tried to install ME from an ME
update disk running SET-UP.EXE /nd. I received a verx.dll
error when it was installing the Windows files, and then
set-up closed.

Is it the previosuly installed OEM version of ME? Is it
that the new bios is conflicting with something in ME?

What do I try next?

SUWIN (VERX.DLL) error:
You appear to be attempting to reinstall Win Me over a system where a beta or
early version of Windows Media Player 9 had previously been installed without
having first removed it - not easy I know. Boot to DOS using a floppy and
delete or rename the file WMPLOC.DLL in the windows\system folder and then try
reinstalling Win Me. This should work and now allow you to reinstall Win Me
although you may later have some problems with WMP.

It is also possible that you had installed IE6 and this also needs to be
uninstalled before (re-)installing Win Me. If this is the case you might want
to have a look at MS KB 312451 - "How to Remove Internet Explorer 6 by
Reinstalling Windows" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=312451) and also KB
293907 - "How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 6"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293907).

If it is now too late to remove IE6 and after completing your re-install you
have problems due to the resulting version soup between the version of IE5.5
included in the Win Me setup and IE6 please post back and someone will try and
give some guidance as to how best to proceed.

This makes sense, especially with IE6. I remember
upgrading recently to IE6.

Thanks,
