Dll Files Wont Register

[WMB]

Windows XP(Home) SP3, OE6, IE8; 1.5Gb RAM & plenty of HHD space. Continuous
checks for Virus/Malware. No e-mail scanning.



Hi,

I have two dll files that will not Register in the normal manner.
Shdocvw.dll and Mshtml.dll. Normal manner: Start>Run>enter Regsvr32
shdocvw.dll or Regsvr32 mshtml.dll >OK. Shdocvw.dll returns a error that it
failed and Mshtml.dll returns and error that no entry point could be found.
Would a viable solution be to download the two files from
http://www.dll-files.com/ and replace the 2 files on my computer with the
downloaded files after backing up the original 2 files? My hesitation stems
from the fact that the size of the 2 downloaded files are of a different
size then the originals and by quite a bit. Any help will be appreciated.
Any differing procedures will be of help. Thanks again.

Hi, i ran sfc /scannow but it did not make any difference. Neither dll
would register. I then performed a Repair Install of XP. Afterwards, i
could register 1 of the dll files, shdocvw.dll. Still unable to register
mshtml.dll. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help so far.

These files are part of Internet Explorer. Which IE version are you using?

I should start by saying that I am by no means an IE expert of any kind,
but in your situation I would try to repair IE8 and if that failed I
would uninstall, reboot and then reinstall it.
