no desktop no acces, no taskbar, ERROR: ordinal 421 could not be f

[sammy]

Okay, this happened AFTER uninstalling IE 8, which my friend didnt like on
his PC do to incompatible w. some sites. REMOVED VIA cONTROL PANEL. Before i
removed IE 8 i install firefox-mozilla. went to restart, and KABAM, no thing
but a blank desktop and an error popup that says:
The ordinal 421 could not be located in the dynamic link library urlmon.dll
i do have another post but i cant get the dos command he gave me to work,
maybe im miss-entering it:
Then browse to the windows folder. then running the following command

for /f %s in (dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %s

im fishing for help for this guys PC i think hes LIT.

you need to be in C:\Windows\system32\ to run that command successfully

I AM IN SYSTEM 32 cmd line folder. just typed in again, and somehow i am
writing it wrong:
f%s was unexpected.. am i missing spaces? if u know the command can u copy
it and add dashes where spaces would be?

Copy it EXACTLY as given below with all spaces as they are
(select the line of text, right click and select Copy)

for /f %s in (dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %s

and then paste it into your command line (right click on cmd window,
select Paste)

I didn't and included it in my reply to the original thread.

for /f %s in ('dir /b /s *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %s

pay attention to the 'quotation marks'.

Oh, let's see...

Did you try a Google search for: ordinal 421

I would think it would be a good idea to pay attention to the results
that contain the word SOLVED.

Then read about all the posts that mention this problem after anything
to do with IE8 and think why that might not be such a good idea.

Then tell us how you fixed it. That would be good to know.
