RE: DLL error prevents me from using Windows...please help...

Dixonian, I tried to open Rcovery Console through SAFE MODE W/ COMMAND
PROMPT, but after I typed in the code, I received the same message about
CRYPTUI.DLL not being found...therefor, nothing happens.

I'm attempting the Recovery Console EXPAND feature, but I don't think I'm
typing in everything correctly. Here are my options as given by the Recovery
Console:

--------------------------------------------------------
EXPAND source [/F:filespec] [destination] [/Y]
EXOAND source [/F:filespec] /D

source Specifies the file to be expanded. May not include wildcards.

destination Specifies the directory for the new file. Default is the
current directory.

/Y Do not pomprt before overwriting an existing file.

/F:filespec If the source contains more than one file, the parameter is
required to
identify the specific file(s) to be expanded. May include
wildcards.

/D Do not expand; only display a directory of the files which
are
contained in the source.

The destination may be any directory within the system directories of the
current Windows installation, the root of any drive, the local installation
sources, or the cmdcons directory.

The destination cannot be removable media.

The destination file cannot be read-only. Use the ATTRIB command to remove
the read-only attribute.

EXPAND prompts if the destination file already esists unless unless /Y is
used.
----------------------------------------------------------

Then I have the line:
C:\WINDOWS>_

I'm not sure what to type. Everything I typed received an incorrect
response, reporting that the command is not recognized.

My main drive is my C drive. The file should be expanded to my
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder i believe. The file needed is CRYPTUI.DLL

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

=========
Also, Whitecougar, I was able to find the CRYPT.DLL file while searching
GOOGLE, and it's also on my brother's computer.
