Hi, i am a 1st time user of this site and i'm in need of some much appreciated help!
I have Windows Me edition,that when i switch it on it goes onto the login screen and i can get no further. messages come up saying:
'Error starting program
A required DLL file, C:\WINDS\SYSTEM\COMCTL32.DLL, was not found'
and
'Error loading explorer exe.
You must reinstall windows'
My family had our computer built up, gradually having new stuff installed, which means we don't have a recovery program or anything. i don't understand computer lingo very well and would appreciate it if any of you readers had any suggestions of what needs to be done with the computer or whether it needs throwing in the bin.
Oh and btw, we have tried to install windows 2000 as we couldnt locate a ME disc, will this be of any use to us at all?
Or does anyone know where i can get a system restore disc???
thanks
