...so it's a good job I can still get my old computer up and running or else I'd be totally screwed :( Actually, I suppose in a way this is on-topic, as all my current Poser freebie WIPs are on the scuppered computer and won't be going anywhere until I can get it running LOL. I installed a security update for Explorer, and now Windows98 won't load. Just past the splash screen I get an error message telling me that windowssystemSHLWAPI.DLL is missing and Explorer can't load. It then helpfully advises me to reinstall Windows. Impressed with my own cleverness, I got on the old computer, went to www.dll.files.com and downloaded Shlwapi.dll, booted into command mode, copied the file to windowssystem and tried again. Now I get an error regarding SHELL32.DLL (I think). Here's the rub - I downloaded Shlwapi.dll but apparently this is not the same as SHLWAPI.DLL or even shlwapi.dll Having googled the problem I've found one user who fixed things by copying a version of SHLWAPI.DLL from a friend's XP edition, having failed with versions from 98 and ME While I'm happy for her, this doesn't help me very much, as the only version I've been able to find is the one from www.dll.files.com Any suggestions?
