I restored my computer to an earlier time and now it won't show any icons and gives me an error message, "Wininet.dll" or something like that is missing. There's actuall a couple of items missing. To make matter worse it won't let me use my cdrom to do a repair.
It's not seeing the cdrom.
Help!!!!
Addendum: It's Windows XP pro and I've tried starting in last good restore point etc.
1. What was the reason for your restoring?
2. How far back was the restore point?
3. You can download and install DLL files from here=======>>>

It's not uncommon for a particular file or number of files to get corrupted after a restore. Sometimes it's just not salvageable and you have to
reformat and reload. Even though you may have some key system files that are corrupt, you can still recover all your info off that drive. You just won't be able to save any of the programs (they'll need to be reinstalled).
Microsoft's Knowledge Base======>
http://support.microsoft.com/ is pretty good when it comes to stuff like this. They seem to have a fix for almost everything. In the search field, just type in exactly what your problem is. Like: "Missing Wininet.dll after restore" or something to that effect. Or: "Missing Icons after Restore". Good luck!
