Do you have a boot up disk? If so, you can boot up using this disk and then
search for all instances of this .dll under DOS. There may be two copies of
this .dll. I'm uncertain of your computer skill level, but you have to be
at least somewhat familiar with DOS commands to search for and delete the
files. You must remove all copies or else the system will simply revert
back to one of them because .dll's are system file protected.
If you do not have a boot up disk, then you must turn off the system file
protection and then remove all copies of the .dll. To turn off the system
file protection mean editing various items in your registry settings then
undoing these edits later. Again, I'm uncertain of your computer skill
level, but novice computer users shouldn't editing registry settings because
if they make a mistake, it can really cause problems. Sorry, I'm not able
to inform you as to which registry settings need to be edited for this
particular task.
