Hi Allan,
I think you are receiving the LoadLibrary error due to the fact that the
stlbdist.dll file has been deleted. To confirm that it no longer exists in
the %Windir%\System folder, go to Start>Run and key in:
%Windir%\System
Then click on OK or hit ENTER
A Windows Explorer window will open to that folder. Scroll to locate the
stlbdist.dll file, and I'll bet that it's not there. It's non-existence is
also the probable reason why you were receiving the initial error message
for which you posted your question (i.e., "Error loading
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\STLBDIST.DLL")........the entry which you have since
deleted in the registry was a call to load the stlbdist.dll file, and, since
the file did not exist, it returned the "error loading" message.
