Sounds like your shell32.dll file needs changing. If you can get to Start>Run , and
type msconfig , go to File Extract and type: shell32.dll in the window. Press enter.
On the top line look for C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS , and on the bottom line look for:
C:\WINDOW\SYSTEM , and click OK.
When asked if you want to keep the backup file in C:\WINDOWS\MSConfig\Backups , answer
Yes.
When complete you will be asked to reboot the computer.
If you can't get to the Run window then, with a Windows Bootdiskette, boot to DOS
choosing Minimum Boot to get you to the A:\> prompt and type:
A:\>EXTRACT C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS shell32.dll /l C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
(That is a lower case L in the /l switch.)
... and press Enter. Answer Y if asked to do so. Reboot.
I hope that this clears up the problem for you.
