Hi

How many .DLL files does the error message refer to? If you haven't got an
XP CD, see if you can find a folder named i386 in Windows Explorer, then
type the following from Start>Run

sfc /scannow

When/if a message comes up to insert the XP CD, point to that folder instead
using the Browse button. Hopefully that command will replace any system
files that have become corrupt.
