[jbcajka]

with windows 98se on boot i get a window that says ddeml.dll is not working or an older file

i also get the same window for mcicda.drv and winaspi.dll

i tried to run the pc in safe mode but that didn't help.

Go to system tools, system information, tools, version
conflict manager. Look for these files there and check
which versions are current. They probably got replaced with older versions. You can swap versions there. Also, there is a copy of ddeml.dll in c:\windows\sysbckup you can replace your existing copy with. I would replace one at a time starting with this one first and reboot after each.

thank you for the help. sysinfo was no help, it saw no conflicks. I had to go to dos and copy ddeml.dll to the system dir and it fixed it.

You could try running the Windows System File Checker by following the procedure below.

1) Click on Start button on the Task Bar.

2) Select Run from the pop-up selection



3) type SFC in the "open" text box and click OK. The "System File Checker" window will appear.



4) To perform a complete check of all files click the "Scan for altered files" Selection Option and press the Start button.

Note: You can also select the option "Extract one file from installation disk" and then using the Browse button, find the name of the file you want to extract.

5) The computer will display "Checking Files..." within the same window, and the Start button will be grayed out while the files are checked.



6) If any files are found to be corrupt, a window will appear showing you the name of the corrupt file and present you will 3 options to a) update that file as known to be good, b) Restore the file or c) ignore the file until the next time you run SFC.



7) When the checking is done the "Finished" window will appear.



Press the OK button to continue. This will bring you back to the original "System File Checker Window". Click the Close button to close the SFC program.

8) You are now done. At this time you should most likely reboot your computer.
