Windows file File missing

[Baha]

When I open Adobe Acrobat 5 i get a message window
"Touch Up Plug-In"

"Warning: A required windows system file is missing
(riched32.dll)"

Adobe is not working well even after i reinstalled it.

My Quesions are:

1) Should I reinstall Windows.
2) If I do do I have to reinsall all my applicaions
software.
3)is there any othe solutions.

Thanks

From a command prompt you can expand the file from you Windows 2000 install
CD-Rom. An example;

expand E:\I386\riched32.dl_ %windir%\system32\riched32.dll

would expand a new copy to the \system32 directory.

Also you'll want to use the correct version for the service pack level
you're at. So you may need to extract the file from a service pack.

To extract the service pack files without installing them, execute
J:\W2kSP4\W2KSP4.exe /x
Then when prompted, specify a directory to hold the extracted files.
