You should never copy these low-level system DLLs between windows versions. My suggestion is to start with a fresh copy of win98 and install only MS updates to get the DLLs that you need. The missing import is fishy; I'd suggest downloading the DCOM update for Win98. --Wez. > > Am 27.09.2005 um 13:47 schrieb Steph: > > > […] > > A great hint.

I tried it with a fresh install of Windows 98, but there's still the problem with the missing export. After an install of Internet Explorer 5.5 everything works fine. A IE update may be a more end user friendly way than requiring a DCOM update, 'cos most people know IE, but almost nobody knows DCOM. Thanks for your help. A.
