Post by: uncledon69 on October 28, 2009, 05:25:49 PM

i just reloaded a 40GB hd with Win ME as my secondary puter..everything came up fine, did scandisk and defrag, since i hadn't touched the puter in over a year..afterwards windows appeared to start then i got this, "COMCTL32.DLL will not open, u shud check file"...i have tried everything with no luck...any ideas...

Microsoft doesn't generally use "slang" to report errors.  Does it really say "COMCTL32.DLL will not open, u shud check file"?
