Guest DashDotDash Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I am running windows 98. I use a Photo Editor - Benq S2W4300U/3300u scanner. First I received the message to alter the colour settings! Then up came the message 'The IPHLPAP.DLL can not start. I no longer have a Photo Scanner or Scan button. I then began to see 'return arrows' on my desktop files! I run avg = no virus's found. I run Zone alarm and spybot. Spybot scans always drag up problems. The system has slowed to a dawdle even in simple tasks. I have looked to see other postings; one reply stated - uninstall AOL9 and revert to AOL8 - What does that mean? I do not understand that lingo. Can anyone assist me. Please.

Thanks for your reply, No - I attempted to use photo scanner, then the tried the scan button! nothing. I then tried repairing dll files through 98. It came up with 2 files that were corrupt. I asked the machine to repair them - but I still can not use the scanner or scan button. Im hopeless at this stuff!!!! It is so frustrating. If I can not operate or work 98 properly can you imagine what I would be like using XP or similar. Ohhhh it frightens me to even think about it.

I did manage to find two corrupt DLL files. I have ran a scan and repair (internally) and I dont think that has repaired to problem.

Do you know what OBEXKRNL.DLL OR SETUPAPI.DLLSETUPDIGETDEVICEINTERFACEDETAILA means? What a mouthful. Anyway, I had been running Motorola phone device - that is the last thing to repair.

I just tried another scan - using the internal scan disk button of 98. It will not go beyond the 'data area' folders. I have reloaded the motorola application and will try that today when I get a chance. Im not that hopeful given the fact that the machine will not scan correctly. Thanks so much Brian for your help and sticking with me on this - I appreciate it.

I always make a registry back-up before installing new SW, and after (assuming it functions without trouble). This allows two possible repair points to revert to, until the next sw install or 'update', when another registry back-up will be required. RL
