This application has failed to start because Normaliz.dll was not
This happened two days ago and since then I get the message on opening my
computer. I click OK and it brings me to the wallpaper but there are no icons and nothing more happens. I have no disc, Compaq stores such things in a Cab file I understand. I am not very experienced with this sort of thing and would appreciate any assistance you could give me. -- Thanks Leslie |

You could try pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete (Windows Task Manager) and then
choose File--New Task (Run...) In the Open: field (Create New Task dialog), type-- appwiz.cpl --(this runs Add/Remove Programs) Another alternative would be running-- sfc /scannow --(System File Checker) first, -BUT- you would likely need to pop in a CD or be able to point to a "source" location for that file and possibly others, to be restored. Finally, another consideration would be trying a System Restore. You could try pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete (Windows Task Manager) and then choose File--New Task (Run...) Run-- %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe -or- Run-- MSCONFIG--then on General tab--Click on LAUNCH SYSTEM RESTORE Choose most recent date from before this mess and let Windows try to go back in time.

LOL No problem Leslie. Be default Windows XP comes with Internet Explorer 6.
Having IE 7 or 8 on your computer are just upgrades. So removing IE 7 should set you back to IE 6, and hopefully that will solve the problem and put you in a position to use your computer. If everything works out well, I would recommend installing Mozilla Firefox or Opera. Both can be downloaded from www.download.com. Hope this helps. Brent "Leslie" wrote in message ...

Perhaps some installation or upgrade in that area has gone awry. What is your recent history with IE in the last two days? What happened between when things worked and when it quit working? Updates, upgrade, new installs, hmmmm? See if CTRL+ALT+DEL will get you into Task Manager, then click File, New Task and enter: c:\windows\explorer.exe Click OK to see if you can get control of your desktop back. You can then check in the c:\windows\system32 folder (where normaliz.dll should be) for your missing DLL. Can you copy one over from another working system using a USB flash drive or floppy? SOMETIMES that will work and it is easy and may work for you. The first thing is to try to get your desktop working so you can maneuver. Usually, Add/Remove programs lists IE7, but doesn't have an uninstall button (on purpose) - it is removed another way. You will probably not be able to delete IE7 from there, but you can look. A System Restore is not likely to replace a DLL that has been deleted. Get your desktop back first. See how far that gets you. |
