Missing DLL File - msnp.dll

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Recently I had to reformat my HD. As far as I know, I reinstalled everyting
correctly, but apparently something did not go right. I now get the
following message just before Win98 is loaded and I have to click OK to
proceed with loading Win98:

Unable to load DLL
msnp.dll
System cannot find the file specified.
Some or all of the following feature are not available
Microsoft Network

Can anyone help out with this?

Thanks,
Les

1. When did you last run a virus check?
2. What sort of problem required reformatting ?

Thank you both for your response. Right after I posted this message, I
decided to reinstall WIN-98. That took care of the error. However, I now
have another error. I will post it as a new question with the subject being
"Runtime Error 403". If you have any input on that, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Les
