setupx.dll problem

[Guest 454 56 chevy]

First off i'm a novice at this. I have a computer that has windows 98 se,

that i gave to my sister inlaw and she was having problems, so she had a

friend lookat it, now when you turn it on it reads cannot find device file

needed to run windows, something about the device file no longer exists.I ran

file checker, it says the following file is corrupted setupx.dll. My

question is if I get a copy of windows 98 se with the C.O.A can I restore the

file back? and how easy is that to do?

Thanks

Jim

You don't mention if the machine does boot or not.

See the section for your situation, boots or don't boot, under "Windows 98 and

Windows 98 Second Edition":

Re: setupx.dll problem

 

Disregarding for a moment the claim by System File Checker (SFC) that setupx.dll is

corrupt, tell me, when you get the error message at startup that refers to "cannot

find device file", what file is it naming there?

 

Either somewhere as a title for the error screen, or else at the beginning or at the

end of the error screens, the file or device causing the problem should be named.

SFC will allow you to restore an individual file off the original CD.

(or a copy of all the cabs and other setup files copied to your

harddrive).

 

What's odd, is that I just ran SFC and it said that same file was

corrupt. I let it reinstall the file and save a backup for me. When

it finished, I went to the backup and the file was the same size as

the replacement. I went to dos, and used the COMP command (COMPare).

The files were identical. I tend to wonder if this is a fault of SFC

itself, because my log file shows that the last time I ran SFC it did

the same thing. I dont have that older one, so I cant compare that

one, but I think it's likely that SFC is finding fault with this

particular file for no reason.

 

If the computer is working well, I'd ignore this one file, but if you

can find a CD, let it do the restore and see what happens.
