Try booting into Safe Mode or to "last known good configuration" and
see if that works.

If not then you could boot the computer to the Recovery Console,
search the hard drive for other copies of shell32.dll and copy the
most recent one to the \Windows\System32 folder.

Post a further response back here if you need more detailed
instructions regarding these items.

Good luck
