DLL Startup Problem [RESOLVED]

There have been a few programs i have tried installing and they dot work, i get an error saying something about the wrong RSC STUB Version or something.

I have tried installing the Macromedia Dreamweaver Trial, that wont install, and a few others dont neither, like a MP3 converter i tried wont work :mad:

I tried going to microsoft, and updating the Windows Installer, but i have the latest version, my only problem that i am aware of is that Java wont install on my pc, but surely that is irrelevant :confused:

sorry, forgot to include a error screenshot: - This is basically the same message for all installers (well 50% of them install fine, the others produce):

I went onto microsoft and found a page, stating it might be something to do with Office 2000. I downloaded this file from the site to update some dll's (oleaut.dll) i think. Now everytime i restart i get a message (failed to load oleaut.dll) and My Computer shows no files, and there is nothing in the system tray?

What should i DO?!

phew :)

I just fixed it, fortunately for me i had a backup from yesterday :D

I had to boot in safe mode, then:

Start>Run>"C:\Windows\System\mcrepair.exe"

Loaded the new dll's (again) which worked, i used the backup to remove the previously loaded dlls

Panic over :eek:

Thanks Visual ;)
