i was round my friends last night surfing the net, when we decided to print something. Unfortunately he had not installed his printer again since re-installing XP pro a month ago.
we tried to install it from the disc provided and a message came up telling us that it could not find shell.dll
I went looking for it and found it in c:\windows\system and shell32.dll in c:\windows\system32.
i logged on here last night and found a similar problem and downloaded a new shell.dll file (renaming and keeping the old one) but that didnt' make a difference
i ran spybot and cleared aload of spyware of, then ran adware and followed up with a virus scan (from AVG) and found a couple of trojan viruses. rebooted and still had the same problem
anyone have any idea what to do next?
My mate is using a 2.5ghz 128mb e-machine running Windows XP pro
cheers
