Hi,

How can I reinstall wininet.dll ? As of now when I start computer I just get my desktop and wallpaper and then the errror message comes up "This application has failed to start because Wininet.dll was not found, reinstalling the application mayfix this problem"

I have no start button so I can not access anything.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Dave

hi,

Thanks, but how can I get it onto the computer if I can not access the start menu. I guess I can download it to a floppy but how to I get it fro m the floppy to the other computer?

After the error message can you press ctrl + alt + del keys together, this should give you task manager, click file, new task, type explorer.exe then press enter

Hi,

I can get to the task manager, but when I put in the explorer.exe iget the sam error message.

So it will not run it.
