Solve : Need help extracting file in DOS?

Answer»

Hi,

I have a system with Windows 98 SE and the
Shell32.dll file is corrupted.

I tried replacing it with ONE on my hard drive
(extracted through system file checker)
and now the computer will only start to
DOS Command Prompt??

I am working off of my LAPTOP using XP and
downloaded Shell32.dll onto a floppy which
I need to extract into my 98 SE desktop.

I have no idea how to do this in DOS and have
been looking for the codes to type in.

Also, I'm not sure if there are different versions
of Shell32.dll??

I do have a 98 se boot flopy and also the original
98 and 98 se upgrade cd's, if that will help. They
don't seem to do anything though when I have
them in on startup??

I need some serious help and would appreciate
any suggestions.

I'm hoping I don't have to do a complete reinstall???

Thanks in advance!!!QUOTE from: thinkbig

Won't WORK. XP uses version 6.0. See below

There are a number of different versions of shell32.dll. All Windows 98 systems have version 4.72.

Shell32.dll is located in BASE4.CAB on the Win98 INSTALL CD.




Thanks for responding!!

So if I put the Windows 98 Install CD in the computer,
do you know what I would need to type in to extract the file?

Thanks again!

Hi,

I figured it out (-: What an ordeal!!

I used the boot disk with cd rom support and
was able to find the code to extract the file
from the Win 98 CD.

Thanks again for your help!!!
