re: VERX.DLL Error Monday, June 2, 2003 at 2:27 pm Posted by Cam (4178 messages posted) Hello Kenny, this might be the one which you are looking for: SUWIN error in verx.dll during Setup There appear to be more and more of these errors cropping up and the only solution so far has been a parallel install. While a parallel install works, it requires reinstalling all your applications, which can have enormous cost in time. The problem is due to either a new version of Windows Media Player or Internet Explorer and the way to fix each one is listed below: IE: Rename c:\windows\system\iemigrat.dll *.old Rename c:\program files\Internet Explorer\W2k\migrate.dll *.old Rename c:\program files\outlook express\9xmig.dll *.old WMP: Rename c:\windows\system wmp*.dll *.old Rename c:\windows\system wmp.ocx *.xoc Rename c:\program files\windows media player wmp After that, run setup again.

The problem occurred after installing some Windows updates. When booting, the computer displayed an explorer.exe error and stated that Windows needed to be reinstalled. Compounding the problem was that the CD-ROM drive was found to be inoperable and needed to be replaced. After replacing the CD-ROM drive, I attempted to reinstall ME but got "SUWIN and verx.dll" errors when the installation progress reached 65%. After following Mac's suggestions for renaming the files, I was able to reinstall WinME and successfully restore the computer to it's original state.

You might need to look in the Windows Explorer tree and check manually. If they don't appear don't worry about it. Just proceed. If you tried going from IE5.5 to IE6.0 SP1 and/or then tried to revert to IE5.5 it is usually better to remove IE altogether with IEradicator and scan & defrag and then do a fresh install of IE6 with a full update. Happy New Year to you!

I've tried the fix of changing the 6 file ext but it didn't quite do it so I deleted all of the WMP files at the DOS prompt by del c:\windows\system\wmp*.* I then ran setup from the Me CD and it worked! I had a problem with the resolution which may or may not be related but Jack Gulley's comment in tread #1074124390 fixed it. To all those who have the VERX.DLL error. Try Mac's suggestion first then get mine if that fails. I'll send Bill Gates a bill for 6 hours of my waited time!!! Thanks again Mac.

A nice alternative procedure you have there too. MAC [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: VERX.DLL Error Thursday, January 15, 2004 at 3:18 pm Posted by Cam (4178 messages posted) Use the Windows Start-Up diskette (floppy) you made when (he hopes) or make one on another ME Machine. Put it into the A: drive and start up. Choose minimum boot and then type: A:\>scanreg /restore , and press ENTER. You need to choose a date before you did the install. Now try re-booting to the desktop. You need to use System Restore to remove WMP 9 If you have a Windows ME CD and the Product Key number you can format fom A:\ with: A:\>format C: , and then do a full re-install. You WILL loose ALL of the data on the drive though, so if there is any you need to keep burn it off onto CDRWs. You cannot format the C:\drive in Windows as it is running!!! ;-) MAC On Thursday, September 11, 2003 at 6:03 am, Lutakera wrote: > >OMG! where to begin... i recently installed some windows updates from which i have >learned that wmp9 and IE6 are the nasty little buggaz that have caused this whole >heap of mess... b4 knowing these were the cause i tried to reboot..got to 61% and >then the 'suwin error' appeared, given the choices to click 'ignore' or 'cancel' >i clicked 'ignore' and nothing! so i closed it all down and when i restarted i was >then faced with 'error starting program the 'winspool.drv' is linked to missing export >NTDLL.dll:NTQUERYINFORMATIONPROCESS' ...along with 'couldnt load library winspool.drv' >and then 'general protection fault module VERX.dll@0002:24AE...arghhhhh..is there >much more?? iv given up all hope of rebooting as iv followed a few steps given to >other members at an earlier time with no joy...so i now wish to format it..only i >cant get into dos without windows loading first..what am i doing wrong?? iv also >tried goin thro 'my computer' clicking c drive then in file clicking 'format' and >no joy still..it does nothing...im at a total loss,im not too confident with messing >around but can follow presice steps...can anyone help a megre female?? ;O) > > [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Just in case!

CLEAN INSTALL XP NTFS/FAT TABLE  NTFS/FAT INFO [Reply or follow-up to this message] what if... Thursday, April 8, 2004 at 12:58 am Posted by Kipper (3 messages posted) Mac, I am having the same problem as that described here. I followed your instructions (from safe mode) but I had only two of the files you mentioned: "program files/Internet Explorer/w2k/migrate" which I changed from .dll to .old and the "program files/pit;ppl ex[ress/9xmig" for which I also changed dll to old. I do not have the other files listed and your instructions are not very clear on the last item "program files/windows media player wmp". What should it be changed to? I have NOT had the WINSPOOL.DRV problem (knock on wood.) I am tempted to try Scott's suggestion, but I don't totally understand it, either. Pardon my ignorance, but how do I get to the DOS prompt? My computer starts in Save Mode. When I DO finally find the dos prompt, do I just type in "c:/windows/system/wmp*.*", literally? Pardon, but many of the references and modes of giving advice are written in language that I don't totally understand (and I'm not really all that green to the ways of the computer.) I hope someone is still checking this thread, I really don't want to buy a new hard disk (as Dell suggested...buggers.). Thanks, Kipper [Reply or follow-up to this message] P.S. Bios? Thursday, April 8, 2004 at 1:30 am Posted by Kipper (3 messages posted) P.S. I just read the MS KB article that you have linked to your solution, MAC. It suggests solving the problem by adjusting the BIOS. I know absolutely zero about how bios work and am VERY wary about chaning them. I am assuming that the solutions offered here are an ALTERNATIVE to adjusting my BIOS. Am I right? Huge thanks, again. Oddly, there is comfort in knowing that someone else had this problem and fixed it. [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: VERX.DLL Error Sunday, December 12, 2004 at 2:15 am Posted by Joe (1 messages posted) I had this same problem, and this solution helped me to solve it. Thank you. However, it is important to note anyone following your instructions verbatum will be in trouble. First, you made a syntax error: >Rename c:\windows\system wmp*.dll *.old > >Rename c:\windows\system wmp.ocx *.xoc Typing this as you wrote it will rename the system folder and prevent re-installation. The correct syntax is: Rename c:\windows\system\wmp*.dll *.old and Rename c:\windows\system\wmp.ocx *.xoc Second, anyone not familair with DOS will be unable to follow some of these steps. Remember that DOS names things diffrently then windows. Any filename with two words gets abberviated. Example: Rename c:\program files\Internet\W2k\migrate.dll *.old should read: Rename c:\progra~1\intern~1\W2k\migrate.dll *.old Any two-word file name with more then six letters get shortened to the first six letters, a tilde (~) and a numerical value, ususally 1. Examples: Program Files = Progra~1 Outlook Express = Outloo~1 Internet Explorer = Intern~1 I hope this is helpful.
