Tried your suggestion re smitfraudfix but found wouldnt run - went back to download page and says for O/s WinXP / 2000 so appears not to be functional for Win Me.
Right you are. Sorry 'bout that. With all of the threads going on, it can be easy to sometimes lose track of who's using what OS. Heh.
Exact wording denying control panel access is :
"Windows cannot find C:/WINDOWS/rundll32.exe. You may have typed the name incorrectly in the Run dialog. or another open program cannot find a systemfile. To search for a file, click the Start button and then click Search"
The location sounds a bit iffy to me, but I suppose it could just be how ME is set up. I've used this particular OS for a whole 2 hours in my life, so I wouldn't know. In any case, go ahead and try evilfantasy's suggestion and see how that works for you.
(please note as an aside; the forward slash in above string should be a backslash. - might sound daft but I cant find the backslash key on the laptop I am using (not the affected machine) as it is set up for communication with the UK using £ instead of hash with digit 3, this in turn has changed backslash key to the hash with no trace anywhere now of backslash function. This doesnt matter other than your reading of the string above).
On some UK keyboards, the backslash is to the left of the Z. I've also seen it to the left of the 1. If you're interested, here's a list of common keyboard layouts in different countries...

We shouldn't need to see it again, but I wasn't the one analyzing it for you, so it's not my decision.
