Guest debbie Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 The file OLEAUT32.dll is not being found or has become unusable. I need this file to successfully download a website. Their support site said that I need to contact a local Microsoft center for help. Does anyone know how to fix this. I operate Windows ME with Internet Exp. Version 6.0.
Guest Mike M Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Re: error message What is the error message you are seeing? It is very difficult to accidentally delete or damage the file oleaut32.dll since it is one of the Win Me system files protected by the System File Protection mechanism. It is possible however that you have more than one copy on your system. Using Windows Explorer check and post back with details of all copies of oleaut32.dll that you find including their location, size and version. You can get the size and version information by right clicking in the file and selecting Properties. Win Me should contain just one copy of oleaut32.dll which should be located in the Windows\System folder and should be dated 8 June 2000, size 614,672 bytes and version 2.40.4515.0. Sue to System File Protection replacing this file isn't particularly easy however I will post details of how to do so once I've seen your reply. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com debbie <debbie@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > The file OLEAUT32.dll is not being found or has become unusable.

Guest debbie Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Re: error message Thanks for responding. Following is the error message: Alljackpotsviper(1) has caused an error in OLEAUT32.DLL and will now close. This has happened with other websites recently with their name at the beginning of the error message. I am left with no choice but to close out. I checked the file under properties. The location, dage, size and version all correct. Only one file appears when I searched. The only thing I noticed is "What program should it be opening with? and also nothing is checked under Attributes. Any help? "Mike M" wrote: > What is the error message you are seeing?
