Unable to open USB pen drive from My Computer
Hi All!

I am stuck with a problem in my Windows XP Dell Dimension 4600.

When I plug in a USB memory drive it no longer opens in the auto-run way that it used to.

If I go to my computer and double click on Removable Disk E I get the following error message appear:

"The application or DLL E:\mlhtml.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

Then when I click OK to the above I get:



http://cheekymccheek.tripod.com/usb_error_2crop.JPG

When I click ok to the second dialogue box above nothing happens.

I can still get access to the USB drive on E if I go through Windows Explorer though, but would like to be able to view it normally!

Any help would be much appreciated
