RUNDLL32 error when tryin to run any video from any app

[outhere]

Hi,
Been having this problem for a while on my home PC. Win 98 Sec Edt, PIII, 256 RAM.
ANy video file that I play gives me the following:

"RUNDLL32 caused an invalid page fault in
module DEVENUM.DLL at 015f:013a7caa.

---Ive uninstalled every app that had anything to do with video viewing, cleaned up the registry and reinstalled a fresh upto date video viewer.

Few questions here: Nope actually two; What does this mean?
How can I fix it without reinstall of windows?

There are a great many versions of devenum.dll and some are shipped with games, perhaps they replaced version shipped with Win98.

Original version devenum.dll for Win98 was
Name: devenum.dll
Description: Device enumeration.
Version: 6.1.5.217
DLLSelfRegister: Yes

Windows 98 65,536 4/23/1999 win98_28.cab
Windows 98 Second Edition 65,536 4/23/1999 win98_28.cab

I am sure out of these choices one of the older hands will be able to distill the "chaff" from the "wheat", in the meantime these links will help answer you questions.
