1. RE-REGISTER THE SYSTEM DLL FILES

Go to START > RUN and then type:

  regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Press Enter. You should see a brief message that the dll has been successfully registered.

Do the same with the following, one at a time, pressing enter after each:

regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll

Then download and install this Microsoft patch, which will install DLL files that are compatible with Win98:

  MCREPAIR.EXE

Answer YES when prompted to replace a Newer file with an Older version.


2. REVERT TO A REGISTRY BACKUP

Boot to DOS (using a bootable floppy disk, e.g. from http://www.bootdisk.com) and type the following at the C:\ prompt -

SCANREG /RESTORE

Note the space before the forward slash in this command.

Follow the on-screen instructions, and try to restore the *oldest* backup of the registry (they're listed by date) as that's the one with the best chance of being from before the problem arose.

By default Windows keeps 5 backup copies of the Windows Registry, so that you can go back to before the problem arose.

When an on-screen message tells you that the registry has been successfully restored, restart the computer normally.


3. HOW TO REINSTALL Windows ME WITHOUT AN INSTALLATION CD

If nothing else works, you can reinstall Windows ME even if you have no installation CD, by following the instructions in this post:

http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winme/1081893868

This is a bit of a "heavy" option though. You will lose all your settings, and will therefore have to reinstall all your PC's hardware and all programs. You *must* have the original setup disks and CDs to hand in order to do this.

You *must* also have your "product key" (serial number) to hand. The Product Key is stored (in plain text, unencrypted) in the Windows Registry at -

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

To obtain the product key at the DOS prompt, type the following commands at the C:> prompt, one command per line, press enter after typing each line -

PATH=A:;C:;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
FIND "ProductKey" C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DAT > C:\ProductKey.txt

You might want to post here again for further suggestions before reinstalling Windows, as that is a bit of a drastic solution (and doesn't always work).


4. USE THE SYSTEM RESTORE CD

Reinstall Windows by running the System Restore CD which came with your computer.

This CD erases everything in the computer. It will DELETE all your files, mp3's, and settings. It is ESSENTIAL to copy all your files (especially all your work, data and mp3's) to another disk, BEFORE using this CD.

As you will lose all your settings, you will therefore have to reinstall all of your PC's hardware and all programs. You *must* have the original setup disks and CDs to hand in order to do this.

You *must* also have your "product key" (serial number) to hand. The Product Key is stored (in plain text, unencrypted) in the Windows Registry at -

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

To obtain the product key at the DOS prompt, type the following commands at the C:> prompt, one command per line, press enter after typing each line -

PATH=A:;C:;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
FIND "ProductKey" C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DAT > C:\ProductKey.txt

You might want to post here again for further suggestions before using a System Restore CD, as that is a bit of a drastic solution.
