Hope this is posted in the right section:
Clean install of Windows 98 on a PIII 933mhz system, everything working fine until I installed the adsl modem. Now I am getting error message on boot up 'Unable to load 'msnp32.dll' I replaced the file in the Windows/System folder but still getting message on boot up.
Followed the advice from Microsoft site and uninstalled and reinstalled the client from Networking in Control Panel. Then When I go to exit that folder I then get a message that windows cannot find Secur32.dll and I am prompted for the win98 disc. I then extract that file from the disc but the cycle continues and everytime I access the Network folder in Control Panel I am again prompted for the file.
Unless someone has another thought on this problem,I know that the files are present in the Windows/System folder and I am now of the opinion that these files aren't registered with the system and that I need to do so using Regsvr.
Having never used this component before, I am not sure whether to run it from DOS Prompt or from the 'RUN' command. Similarly I am unsure of the commands that need to be typed, should they be:
Regsvr msnp32.dll &
Regsvr Secur32.dll
or
Regsvr.exe msnp32.dll &
Regsvr.exe Secur32.dll
Thanks in advance
