Problems such this is appear because some programs that you install on your computer simply replace files in dynamic link library repository of files ( files that are important for some specific functions of operating system or applications – files with .dll extension ). Programs are replacing original .dll files with it’s own versions. You receive this message because operating system can not locate Shell32.dll file – from some reason. Now, since you can boot to your operating system, you can use sfc – System File Checker utility which is used to check integrity of system files. The information about how to use it, you can retrieve by typing: system file checker under Index tab of Help utility. On my Windows XP, I simply type: sfc command and press enter at command prompt, but in Windows 98 it could be someway different.
The other solution would be to restart your computer to the command prompt and manually copy appropriate file ( Shell.dll in this case ) from Windows\Sysbckup folder to the Windows\System folder.
This operation replaces existing file with the correct version.
If even this solution wouldn’t work, the only permanent thing to do is to extract files from your installation Windows CD. So, this is short resume of the problem that is pretty common especially when frequently installing different kind of programs.
