Thanks for replying. I have IE 5.5 and WMP 7.1. I am not doing a clean install, just loading me on top of what is already there.
Best regards. pking4

I am not a big fan of installing over a OS, i just dont have a lot of luck with it,there are others on this forum that do, and i suppose they come out alright,hope some of them will come on and help you,i dont want to get you to a place you are not familure with.
I would suggest you stay with IE 5.5 and WMP 7.1., as the 9x kernel does not like the latest and the greatest >cody

Boot from a startup floppy disk, navigate to the C:\Windows\System directory and rename the file wmploc.dll to wmploc.old
Once you have renamed the file, see if you can then complete the reinstall of Windows.

Renaming the file has solved the problem. Thanks again. Very best regards. pking4
