re: Question about 'What to do about error messages during Windows startup' Thursday, September 26, 2002 at 10:56 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by dr dixie (1 messages posted) I had the same message appear out of the blue. It appeared after clicking on Outlook Express to get mail. You had to close the program and consequently no mail. I messed with looking at all the internet solutions for a couple of days and finally found one that made sense. Actually this fool had forgotten about this tool.Start>Programs>Accessories>System tools>system information>Tools> and to the bottom of the box at the "version conflict manager". Go through these and change the ones which are older versions. Since the list is long (30-40) it takes a little doing. Pick on the vxd files first and then update and repair Explorer in this same program. It worked for me. dr. dixie On Sunday, October 21, 2001 at 10:55 am, susie wrote: >I have a question about What >to do about error messages during Windows startup: > >When I start windows after the desktop shows i get an error message that reads: >Your program is making an invalid dynamic link call to a .DLL file. >If I simply click close it dissapears and does not cause any further problems, yet >it is very annoying.
