Portable, xp home, load normally until it blurts "An app couldn't start WINiNET.dll missing(in french)on strike, hahahahaha, etc.," then I get the final screen and that is all I get.

I can work the ctrl-alt-del
I am nowing trying a recoupation with a XP familial edition

Any other suggestions.

Ok, I repeat, no tool bar, nothing on screen in either normal or satfy,

tried using a window CD and then recovery, came to the same result.

Smug comp 2 = yours truly 0

The only thing that works is ctrl alt del which give me a blanc box

When you CTRL ALT DEL it, can you do the whole "File | New Task (Run..)" and type in "explorer.exe" (no quotes)?

That would be my first step...

Thanks but no joy, it still gives me "cannot start because WININET.dll missing" however I can search the files, any idea where I should head to now.

[Guse]

Can you give me the EXACT error message.

[fleamailman]

Ok, here it is:

cette application n'a pu demarrer car WINiNET.dll et introvable.

La reinstallation de cette appilication peut corriger ce problem.


Meaning:

This application can no longer start due WININET.del is unfound.

The reinstalation of this application may correct the problem.

The beauty of Dave's tool, in the link I posted above, is that is searches for a good copy of wininet on your harddrive and replaces the corrupt file with the correct one. The only other thing the tool does is dump temp files, so it can't hurt to run the tool to replace the file.

how does one implant this tool then, remember I have only the ctrl alt del command, nothing else on screen.

Many thanks for the imput here everyone, I am back home now on my kubantu machine so I guess this thread is closed but it was a great problem I think.
