Crash lost dll

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

When reinstalling Win Me over itself your SUWIN error at 65% was probably
due to your having previously installed WMP9 and not having renamed
wmploc.dll before attempting the reinstall. However by now creating a
wintry folder and installing Win me there you have a pretty messed up
system as you have found for yourself and to be perfectly frank I feel
your best solution would be to salvage what data you can from your system
and then bite the bullet, format your C: drive and clean install Win Me.
