There are two versions of this file. One for NT and one for win95/98 (same name, different folders). It's used to give buttons, etc. a 3D appearance.

Possibly another program installed on this persons computer is responsible. If it's a Novell network, I think this could be the cause.

I would suggest backing the file up to a floppy and then delete it....or, rename it to something like ctl3d32.bak.

Try rebooting the computer and running the program and see what happens.

If it is a Netware workstation, I'm not sure what the fix would be.

Are there other users in his organization running the same program without error?
