| | Failed to load resource DLL Hello All I bought a new Dell Dimension 9200 with Vista Home installed on it. All ran reasonably well but now for some strange reason, every time I open Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, and a host of other applications I get the message "Failed to load resource DLL". All there is is an OK button. press that and the program seems to run anyway. My question is this: What in heavens name is resource DLL (I know DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library but have NO clue what this particlar one is, where I might find it, how I might restore it, etc). Any help out there? I'd Love to solve this. Thanks for your consideration. |

| | Re: Failed to load resource DLL Hi, A resource dll file is one that a program relies on to run. Apparently something is trying to run and either cannot locate its required library file, or the file is located but is corrupt. As it is trying to load with IE as well as other applications, at a guess I'd say it is likely to be a plug-in. Close IE and any other running applications. Go to Internet Options in the Control Panel and click on the Programs tab. Click on "manage addons", then start disabling those that load with IE. Restart IE inbetween to see if the message dissappears. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "KiwiNth" <KiwiNth@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6F95A3CE-77E1-4898-898F-2C3861368B3A@microsoft.com... > Hello All > > I bought a new Dell Dimension 9200 with Vista Home installed on it.

| | Re: Failed to load resource DLL Rick Thank you. That solved the problem immediately. I had techos from Dell telling me to do the proceedure to make it exactly as it was when I got it from Dell... thus losing everything I had on it and starting all over again *shakes head*. Knew that couldn't be the answer. You are a champ. Thanks again for your wonderful help. All the best KiwiNth (aka Mac) -- The older I get, the better I was.
