I am setting up a home computer with Win 98 on it. I wnt
into the Control Panel and set my dispaly to optimize my
monitor. I expanded from 128MB of RAM to 256MB. Several
days later, I went to change some Sound & Display
functions in the Control Panel. Whenever I click on any
icon in the Control Panel, I get an error message saying
that: Access to that drive, path, or file is denied". How
do I get access to my Control Panel functions? Help!
Thanks,
Replace the RUNDLL32.EXE file using sfc.exe and see if that helps. Let
us know the results please.
Run sfc.exe and select the "extract one file..." option. Type in the
complete name of the missing file you want to restore or use the browse
button for a file replacement. Click start and in the resulting window,
browse to the location of the folder containing the W98 .cab files
(either the hard drive or CDRom drive). If the information in the "save
in" box is wrong, use the browse button to show where the file is to be
restored to. Click OK and if appropriate, on the resulting screen, show
the location where the file being replaced is to be backed up to. Click
OK or skip as appropriate. Restart your computer and the file
replacement will occur during the boot process.
If you are going to use sfc.exe for other than the extract option, I
highly recommend that you first read the article here:
