lost ole32.dll

[Guest]

I seem to have lost the file ole32.dll from my computer. Now the
applications winlogin.exe, services.exe, savedump.exe and lsass.exe cannot
open and therefore my computer cannot start up, not even in safe mode or
last-known-good. This is a consequence of my own over-enthusiasm in
"cleaning up" my hard drive yesterday...I have obviously inadvertently
deleted something vital.

Any easy way to re-install from the original CD?
Thanks,
John McKeon

If you have an installation CD, as distinguished from a System
Recovery disk provided by a major computer manufacturer, then try
doing a Repair Install as per the instructions at

Good luck
