Default ctl3d32.dll must be installed in Windows Registry

Hello There,

A clients computer has an error after loading into
windows 98se.

CTL3D32.DLL

Basically something about not being installed & must be
installed in the Windows Registry.

Is this an important file and where does it need to go in
the registry.

Please help.

CTL3D32.DLL
Desc: Ctl3D 3D Windows Controls
Loc: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
Size: 45,056 bytes
Mod: Friday, April 23, 1999 10:22:00 PM
Ver: 2.31.000

That is old enough (in Win98SE) never to have been modified by an
update. So, extract it with SFC.

(1) "START, Run, SFC"
(2) Bolt "Extract one file from installation disk"
(3) Enter "CTL3D32.DLL" in the "Specify..." box.
(4) Click "Start".
(5) It should offer to "Save file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM".
If not, make it so.
(6) In "Restore from", if not already pre-filled, browse to
(a) Installation CD (likely the Win98 folder) or
(b) The folder that has your cabs on the hard drive, likely
"C:\WINDOWS\options\cabs\".
(7) Click "OK"

If it discovers the file already exists, it will offer to back it up.
May as well do so. If it discovers the file is "in use", it will request
that you reboot to complete the install.

The file does not need to be installed, but it might need
to be registered. Do Start and Run and enter
regsvr32 ctl3d32.dll
and press enter.
