Windows Forum / Windows 95 / January 2004No Access to Control Panel or My Computer
Each time I try to access the any of the settings (e.g., Sounds, System, Users, etc.,) under Control Panel, I get an error saying "Access to specified device, path, or file is denied". When I try to just get the properties screen on "My Computer" or the Control Panel, I get the same error message. I haven't found anything on my C drive that I can't access though. Obviously I have been locked out somehow, but I don't know how or how to unlock it. I have two teenagers, which might explain it, but they both are claiming ignorance. Thanks for your help. Try extracting a fresh copy of "RUNDLL32.EXE" from your Windows 95 CD to the "c:\windows" folder.

Thanks Ben . . . I did a file search on my Windows95 CD, but I don't find a "rundll32.exe" file. >-----Original Message----- >Try extracting a fresh copy of "RUNDLL32.EXE" from your [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> Thanks for your help. >. If it is the computer you are using now, insert your Windows 95 CD, then open a DOS box and type the following three lines. If you know the drive letter assigned to your CD drive, just use the correct line. extract /a /y /L c:\windows d:\win95\win95_02.cab RUNDLL32.EXE extract /a /y /L c:\windows e:\win95\win95_02.cab RUNDLL32.EXE extract /a /y /L c:\windows f:\win95\win95_02.cab RUNDLL32.EXE Ben > Thanks Ben . . .

Your're a genius man . . . thank you so much. >-----Original Message----- >If it is the computer you are using now, insert your Windows 95 [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] >> > >. oops . . . it worked for a little bit, but as soon as I rebooted, then the new rundll32.exe that I extracted got overwritten with a different rundll32.exe that did not work?? The rundll32 that was there after the reboot had a 0kb size. >-----Original Message----- >Try extracting a fresh copy of "RUNDLL32.EXE" from your [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> Thanks for your help. >. You've got a virus or aml-ware that is overwriting this important file. Run http://housecall.antivirus.com, and download yourself a copy of ad-aware. > oops . . . it worked for a little bit, but as soon as I > rebooted, then the new rundll32.exe that I extracted got [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > >> Thanks for your help. > >. |
