Without going into the how or why-I have managed to lose
most of My C:\windows\system32\dllcache. It was app. 500megs in size and is
now
about 50 megs.

Could i just copy a friends dllcache from his Gateway
computer and and restore it to my Sony? Both are laptops My laptop is
WindowsXP SP3 his is probably SP1 maybe 2. Definitely not SP3.

Actually couldn't i just make a copy of every dll in my Windows folder.
I just did a search of my Windows folder and it showed 2500+dlls. Couldn't i
just copy all of them and make a new dllcache?

If the two OS' don't match Service Pack levels, no.

So if i can find a computer with SP 3 on it I could just make a copy of the
dllcache on it to cd and use it to replace mine?

Why don't you just re-install Windows XP SP3 and a new dll cache
will be created? Problem solved.

Is that right. You mean just the Service Pack and not Windows too?

Actually i think i technically already did that and the new cache is about
50 megs in size. You see my dllcache had been moved to another drive 2 years
ago and the cache in
C;\windiws\system32\dllcache was virtually empty until i recently installed
SP3.
So i don't think uninstallingSP3 and reinstalling it will bring back my
original(post SP2) 500megs dllcache.

Yes, all or most dlls relative to Windows will be re-created if
Windows is working well enough to install the Service Pack, and
I presume that it is. Any OLD dlls are copied to a backup folder
in case you want to uninstall XP SP3 which in this case I would
not NEVER do once it is installed. Since you seem to have L O S
T some of the old dlls, what have you got to lose? If all else
fails and XP does not work well or fails entirely, then you may
have to re-install Window and all the headaches that process
incurs.

I give up. My current dll cache is slightly over 500 megs after
XP SP3 but I have no idea what is was prior to SP3. Do you still
have the old dll cache on the other drive?...and why was it
moved?
