Startup Problem Shell32.dll Please Help
Hello,
Im trying to fix my girlfriends computer.
Its a Dell Inspiron 1525 Notebook with Windows Vista Home Edition.
When you start it up it logs into Windows and a message pops up.
It reads "This application has failed to start because SHELL32.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
After this message appears the computer will not go into Windows.
I called dell and apparently our hardware warranty is still good but the software warranty runs out six months after purchase and I have to pay to use Tech support. Will NEVER purchase another Dell.
Please any help would be much appreciated, I dont want to break down and take it to a computer technician.
Thank You
