Is there a way to modify windows file protection? We have a older program we
trying to run on windows xp that will not work. The program works fine on a
win 98 os. The cause of the failure has been narrowed down to protected .dll
files. We have tried to replace the .dlls and found they are protected.
Every time we rename, replace, or delete the original .dll, it returns.
 
Try copying the needed DLL to the same folder that the program is actually installed in, not Windows\System32 The files in System32 are protected and the ones in the program's own folder shouldn't be.

You may also want to right click the program's executable, select Properties, Compatibility and see if the Win 98 compatibility mode will work for you.
