George,

I hope he checks to find out if he has an SFC command to use
before trying your advice. You don't know what OS he has!
FYI NT4 users don't have SFC. Also I think that the SFC a
Windows 98 user has is considerably different from one that an NT5
user might have but perhaps can have the same effect.

Nor do you know if WFP is active--SFP if Win ME but I can't even
find out if it has an SFC command to use either.

Hmm... apparently not.

Also troubling to me is that I don't recognize all those modules,
so WFP may not know about them either. Perhaps they are typos
for real modules but I think it would be wise to check before deleting them.
(E.g. lxexpand.dll may just be a typo for lzexpand.dll
commctrl.dll and commdlg.dll may less believably be typos for
comctl32.dll and comdlg32.dll.)

Hmm... DLL Help Database does have entries for commctrl.dll
and commdlg.dll which would rule out the possibility of NT5
and therefore make the question of which OS even more critical.


FWIW
