Missing dll 1

[deshario]

Does anyone know where I can download a dll file. My PC has decided that newdot.dll is missing even though there are two dlls in the Windows folder (they have different number suffixes). I can't find any .cab files on my hard drive to extract from.

Thanks

Do you have the Windows ME cd? The .cab files are located under the \Windows9x folder. Please let us (Tek-tips members) know if the solutions we provide are helpful to you. Not only do they help you but they may help others.

No, I don't have the ME Cd cause the scabby place I bought my PC from only gave me a restore CD which I don't want to use as I'll lose all my personal files.

 

[butchrecon]

Look on the restore CD for the \Win9x Folder or do a search on it for .cab. They should be on there.
Secon They are required by LAW to to include all media used. Even if they give a retore CD the original Install media need to be with it. If they did not that goes against M$ Anit-Priracy regulations. It is punishable (to the store) by fines and loss of OEM capabilities. So scare them if you need to.

Nope. The restore cd hasn't got any folders on it and no .cab files. Is there nowhere I can download them from?

 

[butchrecon]

Unless someone else knows where or some one has ME and can email you the file, your only hope is either reload or get a CD. As I stated earlier you SHOULD have gotten one. If not I would be doing some BITCHING! Please let us (Tek-tips members) know if the solutions we provide are helpful to you. Not only do they help you but they may help others.

Hi, I`m not sure if you are still having problems with this but I have ME and I have just checked the cab files and I don`t have any files(Or can`t find) named "NEWDOT.DLL".

The closest file I have is "NEWDEV.DLL".

If you are unsure where to find the cabs folder in ME it is under WINDOWS/OPTIONS.

You can find info on the dll at

Hey deshario -

As to how to restore the file once you've found it, please refer to my answer to bigjulie in his/her thread titled "ME hanging on startup".

As to finding the file in the cabs, what I had to do was use WinZip to examine every cab file in the \windows\options directory. How have you gone about looking for the file?

Cheers, woggie

not sure if this is related but the newdot file may have been removed by a program. You may need to reinstall that program such as imesh, gator, exporer 6. if you find this dll file place it back into c:windows

missing newdot~2.dll (Visitor) Sep 5, 2001
everytime i start my PC shows the message of missing file wich is newdot~2.dll

the newdot file is not a windows file you will not be able to download it

if the error message cames in the begining when you boot up the computer you just need to go

start/run/msconfig/startup/(uncheck anything that appears with newdot.dll
uncheck it)

click ok and it will ask you to restart the computer
the computer will restart and the error message will go away
no harm done

it is a 3th party software from wich that file came from if you want to look trough your cd's and check in each one of them also maybe the files are in your computer but maybe they are not located on the correct file so windows can find it.

:O)

NewDotNet which is where the file came from is spyware. I could give you directions for removing it but the best thing to do is to send an email to support@new.net and ask them to send removal instructions. Make sure you tell them what operating system you have. They'll send you precise removal info for getting rid of their garbage.

Create a backup Registry file in case you experience further problems:

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type in "regedit"
4. Click OK
5. Highlight "My Computer" on the left
6. Click the Registry menu at the top and select "Export Registry File"
7. Name the file "backup" and save it to your Desktop. [This is just in case you make a mistake in the procedures below. Should you do so, locate the "backup" file on your Desktop and double-click it. Select Yes and your registry will be restored.]


Check for New.net Startup:

1. In the left pane of the Registry Editor, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, click the "+" sign next to Software
2. Click the "+" sign next to Microsoft
3. Click the "+" sign next to Windows
4. Click the "+" sign next to Current Version
5. Click on the Run folder
6. On the right, locate the line that reads "New.net Startup" and delete it


Remove "New.net Application" from Add/Remove Programs:

1. Under the same Current Version folder from above, click the "+" sign next to Uninstall
2. Locate the "New.net" folder and delete it


Remove the New.net software folder:

1. In the left pane of the Registry Editor, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, under "Software"
2. Locate the "New.net" folder and delete it

Close the open folders above by clicking once on the small "-" signs next to them.


Locate "Catalog Entries" folder:

1. Under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder, click the small "+" (plus) sign next to System
2. Click the small "+" sign next to CurrentControlSet
3. Click the small "+" sign next to Services
4. Click the small "+" sign next to WinSock2
5. Click the small "+" sign next to Parameters. You should see 2 folders, "NameSpace_Catalog5" and "Protocol_Catalog9".
6. Click the small "+" signs next to both of them
7. Inside both folders, you should see a "Catalog_Entries" folder. Open each of them.
8. Within each of those folders are numbered folders (i.e. 000000000001, 000000000002, etc.)

For the "NameSpace_Catalog5" numbered folders:
A. First, make note of how many folders there are
B. Highlight the first one
C. On the righthand side, locate the line "Library Path"
D. In that line, the rightmost column should begin with something similar to "C:\windows" or "%SystemRoot%".
E. Locate any of the numbered folders that read "C:\windows\newdotnet2_109.dll" (or similar) in the "Library Path" line
F. Delete only those folders referring to "newdotnet"
G. If needed, rename each numbered folder so that they are all consecutive. For example, if there were 4 folders and you deleted folders the first 2, you will need to rename the remaining folders "000000000001" and "000000000002".
H. Do this by right-clicking the folder name, left-click Rename and then type in the new number (be absolutely sure you don't delete any of the zeros).
I. Next, highlight the "NameSpace_Catalog5" folder on the lefthand side.
J. On the right, locate the "Num_Catalog_Entries" line. At the end of this line is a number in parentheses.
K. Edit that number by doing the following:
i. Double-click "Num_Catalog_Entries"
ii. In the small pop-up window, select "Decimal"
iii. Edit the value of the number on the left to reflect the number of remaining folders (in the case of the example in step G above, you would enter 2)
iv. Click OK

For the "Protocol_Catalog9" numbered folders:
A. First, make note of how many folders there are
B. Highlight the first one
C. On the righthand side, you will see a line beginning with "PackedCatalogItem". Double-click on that word and a small windows will pop-up.
D. In this window, several columns appear with numbers and letters. At the top of the last column appears a path that will say, "C:\WINDOWS\NEWDOTNET~.DLL" or "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\..." followed by a long list of characters.
E. Look through each of the numbered folders and delete only those that indicate "C:\WINDOWS\NEWDOTNET~.DLL" in the "Edit Binary Value" window described above. In other words, if you find a reference to "NEWDOTNET..." in the "Edit Binary Value" window, close the window first (click "Cancel&quot, then highlight the numbered folder on the left you were checking and delete it. If the folder does not say "C:\WINDOWS\NEWDOTNET..." in the TOP RIGHT corner only, DO NOT delete it. NOTE: You should find it in either 2 or 4 folders total. If you do not, double-check the folders and if it's still the same, just move on to the next step.
F. Rename each remaining numbered folder so that they are all consecutive. For example, if there were 13 folders and you deleted 2 of them, you will need to rename the remaining folders "000000000001" through "000000000011".
G. Do this by right-clicking the folder name, left-click Rename, press the "End" key on your keyboard once (next to "Delete&quot, press "Backspace" once, then type in the new number (**be absolutely sure you don't delete any of the zeros) and then press "Enter".
H. Next, highlight the "Protocol_Catalog9" folder on the lefthand side.
I. On the right, locate the "Num_Catalog_Entries" line. At the end of this line is a number in parentheses.
J. Edit that number by doing the following:
i. Double-click "Num_Catalog_Entries"
ii. In the small pop-up window, select "Decimal"
iii. Edit the value of the number on the left to reflect the number of remaining folders (in the case of the example in step F above, you would enter 11)
iv. Click OK

Again, you may close all open folders. Close the Registry Editor. Your changes will be automatically saved. Reboot your computer and attempt to access a website. See Step 6 (Registry backup) above if you experience other unusual computer problems. If your Internet access has been restored, we recommend you delete the registry backup file by doing the following:

1. On your Windows desktop, locate the "backup" file that was created in the Backup Registry procedure above.
2. Delete the file and remove it from your Recycle Bin also.
