Required .DLL File NOT Found

[GuardianBooshel]

Im trying to run "STEAM" and "HALF-LIFE 2". Every time I open either program an error message appears saying:

" A required .DLL file, OLEACC.DLL, was not found"

I have Windows 98 (Not SE) and I was not able to locate this file in the system folder.  I searched this file in GOOGLE and was directed to a site that allowed me to download this file.  I downloaded it into C:/Windows/System

After booting I tried accesing the applications again but an error message appeared saying"

"The OLEACC.DLL file cannot start. Check the file to determine the problem."

PLEASE HELP!

Sounds like a Windows problem...

Try placing the file in windows\system32, if not working try placing it somewhere in the half-life 2 directory. They usually have a folder where they keep there dlls.

The best option would be to contact half-life 2 technical support.

Thank you very much for your help...I tried placing the .DLL file into other folders suggested but that still did not work.  The most recent post with a Microsoft support website link fixed the error.  I appreciate everybody's help and I hope that I don't need to bother you with any more microsoft issues

(Knowing Microsoft there will be a lot more problems)
