Can you check those two file names?
The first is an unlikely name and the second does not seem like a standard file, so they may both be virus or parasite supplied. Check each one for ownership.

As Alan said, it is essential to discover what these files belong to.
Normally this type of error occurs with Windows files and my standard blurb below will give you insight on why the error occurs. Some of my write up will not apply since neither file is a Windows system file. I think the best way to explain this error message is to list an example and then walk you through the troubleshooting logic I'd use. **Example**: The LOADWC.EXE file is linked to missing export SHLWAPI.DLL:wnsprintfA File one is expecting file number two to be able to do something which it cannot do. This generally means the second file was replaced with an older version which doesn't contain the functionality that first file was expecting to find. There's a possibility file number two is corrupt or missing but most likely an older version file is the cause. In either case, replace *your* file two with the correct version. For help finding a MS replacement file, go to the .Dll Help page: http://support.microsoft.com/service...on/dllinfo.asp Do a search on *your* file two and be sure to include the file extension (.dll). Once the results appear, locate the version of file two your PC is using. When you click on the more information link, you will find what product(s) contains that version of the .dll. You should determine if that version belongs to a product you have installed on your machine. If not, it's possible you should have the W98 version of the file. Or, work up the list and see if there is a product installed on your machine that would dictate a newer version. For example, using the sample listed above, you find version 5.0.2614.3500 of the shlwapi.dll is on file and by checking the list of files, you find this version comes with W98SE. Going up the list, you find version 5.50.4134.600 is contained in IE 5.50. If you had updated your browser to IE5.5, there's the probable problem--the correct version of shlwapi.dll got overwritten by the copy with comes with W98SE. Finally, the troubleshooting information above centers on file two since it usually will be the source of the problem; however, file one could also be an incorrect version. If this is the case, you will probably find a newer version of the first file has inappropriately replaced the original file and that's why the second file does not seem to have the right functionality. In this case, go to the .Dll Help page and locate the version of file one. If it is distributed with a program that you do not have, go down the list until you locate a program you do have installed. That will probably be the version of the .dll to restore. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "bob" wrote in message ...
