"...I went looking online because the original error message reported that SHLWAPI.DLL was missing." Gotcha. That's why I suggested the CD. If that file is the one causing the grief, then you may need the exact version that was possibly installed by the IE patch. If so, the only three options I can think of are: 1. Get IE8 on the old machine patched up to date and copy from there. Considering that patching was the beginning of this, I wouldn't blame you if yo were leery of trying that on your working machine. It might not be the entire fix anyway. 2. Somehow get IE reinstalled on the broken machine. Probably not doable from DOS but worth a try if you can find the download version of IE6. Can you even get into safe mode? It might or might not work from there. 3. Reinstall Windows 98. This article may help. Good luck.
