>>Your best bet is to boot into Safe Mode, and install a current product such as Visual Studio, IE, or even a Setup Wizard install from VB6 or VFP6, to drop the current version of the .DLL in place. It is not a matter of a simple copy to replace the bad version. About the least intrusive install that'll fix it would be the Windows Scripting Host download available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting

No - I suggested Safe Mode in your case only because it loads almost nothing except the bare minimum native drivers and .DLLs, so the consequences of having an out-of-date file are minimized. In most cases, you want your normal mix of drivers and support files in place during installation.
