re: comctl32.dll error closes explorer Sunday, December 26, 2004 at 2:39 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Per-Helge Aurdal (1 messages posted) Hi! I had exactly the same problem. I reinstallede service pack #1 for Internet Explorer version 6. I even got a message that told me that the service pack allready was installed and that I didn't need to reinstall it. Anyhow I reinstallede the service pack and the problem was gone. Before this I tried several times to change/rename/delete comctl32.dll without success. I don't know why I got the problem. I suspect that using automatic update from Microsoft being the root of the problem. Anyhow you lose controll of what last has been installed when you find yourself in a problem.
