When I load windows all I get is the picture on my desktop.
I can't get into windows through safe mode either.
I've tried to reinstall,but in the last few minutes of install I receive this message: An error occurred loading C:\windows\system\shdocvw.dll The file may not have been installed or it has been corrupted.With the same text I also see the same message for shdoc401.dll.I only see these when trying to reinstall,there are no messages upon restart,just a desktop with no icons.
Without being able to get into windows I can't even run my antivirus.
My win 98 install disc is actually stored on my computer under Windows\Win 98\setup, which I can access through dos.How do I fix,delete, or run a
program to do this for me through dos?
Or on the other hand am I looking in the wrong direction?
Of course I'm writing from a dfferent computer on account that mine is currently in limbo.I really don't want to lose the info/personal files I've aquired over the years if there is a possible sollution.
I come to you because I'm beyond my limits of computer knowledge,I eagerly await any of the sagely advice you can offer.
Thankyou in advance,
from a lowly amatuer.
