I'm trying to access the Shell.Application object to use the CopyHere method among others - but when I issue

oshell = CREATEOBJECT("shell.application") I get the message
"OLE error code 0x80040154: class not registered"

If I try to register (or unregister) shell32.dll I get the following message
"c:\winnt\system32\shell32.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.
DllRegisterServer may not be exported or a corrupt version of c:\winnt\system32\shell32 may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it"

I'm running NT4 SP4.

On my other PC - running Win95 there's no problem creating "shell.application"

Can anyone help please ?
