in your my documents folder click tools > folder options > view ...make sure the "hide extensions for known file types" box is unchecked press apply then ok... now change the file name to wininet.dll and copy it to the windows\system folder

to do this..highlight the wininet.dll file
press ctrl + c
then
do start > run > explorer.exe
then double click on c:
then double click on windows
then double click on system
press ctrl + v

When I do this start > run > explorer.exe My documents folder comes up. I don't see the C: to double click on. Never mind I found it. But which system folder, .CB, .DAO, .DAT, .INI?

Click Start then Run and type system and click "Ok".

That should open the System folder...that's the folder we need to put the file in...don't close it.

Just as a note, this repair was completed in a Go to Meeting session between myself, dsennete, and tlcfromtn. The missing file was replaced in the proper folder and all is well with the world again! :tazz:

Thanks, dsennette, for the great idea and the assistance rendered!!

Gald you are back up and running, tlcfromtn... :)
