AboutLorry Expertise I can answer most questions regarding Windows 95 and/or Windows 98.
Experience Like most people, started with Windows 95, then continued on with the other versions as they came available up to Windows XP. Am a local tech helping others when something goes wrong with Windows.
Question Win98...after I defrag (which is 100% successfully completed) it asks me to quit and I say yes and get a defrag error message whose details show a "missing" kernel32.dll@015f:bff9dba7.
I can download a replacement kernel32.dll file from the internet as a zip file and when I open the zip file it asks me where to extract this file to:
Where exactly would I extract this downloaded file to??
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Answer Hi Marty,
First unzip the file by double clicking the downloaded ZIP file.
Extract it to an empty folder or create a folder (c:\temp) to store it in.
NOTE: Most files cannot be replaced in windows (since windows may have the file open and in use).
Try it first and see if you can install it using the Windows method:
Locate the file with the Find tool, usually the files are located in the windows\system folder.
In the found results window right click on the file and select Rename and change the extension (.dll) to .old you will get an error if the file is open in windows stating that it cannot be renamed, and you will have to replace it in DOS (see DOS section).
Then copy the new (unziped) file to the same location (windows\system), if you get an error:
File Exists don't over write the file, go to the Find tool and rename the file to "filename.old", you will want to you want to do this so if the new file does not work you will have a way to get the old one back (rename the .old file to .dll).
