recongizing hardware and then i get an error that reads... COMCTL32.DLL

other then the set up screen.

Thanks for your reply. The second link you offered me makes me think I need
to replace the COMCTL32.DLL file by renaming it COMMCTRL.DLL from the command
prompt. I am not sure on how to do this. Do I have to start from the floppy
disk to get the command prompt up? The only way I can shut my computer off
is by unplugging it, and like I said, every time I restart it, it wants to
take me through the reinstall process of windows me. I have tried to
reinstall it with cdrom support, and then I tried to install it a few times
with the option that lets me have a fresh copy of windows. everytime it
tells me when i have 15 minutes left in the installation process, when it
checks for new hardware and plug and play device, COMCTL32.DLL can not be
started. Please follow up if you can. Thank you again.

You can get to the command prompt from start/programs/accessories/ms-dos
prompt.
Not sure how to rename the file,but it wants placing in C:\Windows\System.
Try the following link for info on extracting files:

I'm not too bright on using DOS but I hope either this
link or some other helpful group user will help solve
your problem.

Just had a thought,try reinstalling windows with your
printer disconnected from your pc.You can always
install your printer afterwards.
