Hiya traclenin
Mmmm that's strange. I'm afraid you need someone much more knowledgeable than me. If I'm stumped I ask a question at http://www.allexperts.com/.
They're good. They won't reply immediately but they're supposed to reply within 3 days. You can ask questions on virtually any subject, it's just I use only the computer section.

Since the installation app. failed to find secur32.dll you will need to extract the file manually from your Windows 98SE installation disk.
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type sfc, and then press ENTER.
3. Click Extract One File From Installation Disk, type Secur32.dll in the Specify the file you would like to restore box, and then click Start.
4. Verify that the proper location for the installation source media is specified in the Restore From box, and that the location in the Save File in box specifies the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder.
5. Click OK twice.
When the process is finished, click OK

I have just tried to extract the file secur32.dll from the windows disk i have and it is not on the disk.Windows was preinstalled at the time of purchase and I was only given a disk because I pressed them for one at the time .I was told it was a copy of the one which was used for installation.Have I been given a disk without all the info on ? .If so if I got the genuine article would it work.Thanks for your answers ,I have gained a lot just by running through your suggestion s Thanks Traclenin
