damaged .dll

[Brian]

When I try to open various microsoft products, (Internet
Explorer, Outlook, Excel) I get an error message about a
file shimeng.dll. The message states that it is not a
valid windows image. After I click through the error
message, I am able to use the program. It there a way to
fix this error by extracting the file from the Windows XP
installation disk? Is there another way to fix this file?

problem. I apologize for my limited skills. Thanks in
advance.
