If you can open task manager, go to "File" -> "New Task [Run...]" and type in "sfc /scannow"

This will start system file checker. Have Windows  install disk in your optical drive. File checker will copy all necessary files from installation disk.


If that doesn't work, then go to "File" -> "New Task [Run...]" and type in "cmd"

That will open command prompt. Use copy command to copy file from your USB stick.

bighorn i sent you a email , i done the first one , but no joy how do i copy the file from the flash stick , in the cmd menue ????

[2bighorn]

use copy command

like:
copy e:\shdocvw.dll c:\windows\system32

replace e: with drive letter of your USB stick

hi bighorn the file is def in drive e as you said , i can open it with wordpad , so its there , but it says cant copy , is there another command i can use , thanks dave

You have to type copy command within command prompt, not in task manager file->run

bighorn u are almost on the right track as i can get into c drive but not g its wont copy 4 some uncanny reason

Use dir command to see if the file is actually on your USB stick, and if it is, it's maybe in some subdirectory rather than root.

example: dir x:\ /s (substitute x with your USB drive letter)


If your're not comfortable with command prompt, just type "explorer" instead of other commands (omit quotes). If you're lucky, windows explorer will pop up and than just drag and drop file from stick to /windows/system32
