Re: shell32.dll corrupt, need original shell32.dll

I have a horrendous VISTA problem. It all boils down to the fact that
there are one or two .dll files that I am not allowed to access.

I have VISTA HOME PREMIUM on a ACER POWER2000 PC.


It all started when I installed Adobe Audition, and then other
things before I realized what had happened. By then I had passed the
point where I could restore the system to before the offending
installation.

Anyway, I've tried everything, registered for a couple of MSVista
forums, checked all the relevant internet notes, etc. I'm not the
only
one with this problem, but I don't see that there have been any
solutions.

\windows\system32\shell32.dll is the main culprit. When I check
the
access/owner options, it seems that anyone can access it at least for
using it. But I always get an error message that access is denied.
This
effects all sorts of things like sound changes, no microphone access,
no
mouse changes, etc.

Everyone here just says I have to reinstall, but that is an option I
don't care to use. The notes seem to say that one should be able to get
a new .dll file and fix things, but I haven't been able to do that.

I would certainly appreciate some simple, reasonable help to fix what
should be a simple matter.

Thanks. BASINAR
