wininet.dll missing??
Hi guys. The other day AVG found a virus or something on those lines (cant remember what it was exactly) but it healed it automaticaly. However, now when i start windows media player i get this meassage...
"The aplication has failed to start because WININET.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may solve this problem" So off i go to the microsoft download center, download media player 10 (i was using 9 before and prefered it, do you know if you can still get it?) but when i try to install it i get the same meassage. so i cant run media player and i cant re-install it.  Any ideas would be greatly recieved? Just tried to run spybot S and D, same thing. so iv re-installed it and i get the same meassage. Adaware is the same, tho iv not had chance to re-install it.

look in the C: windows --system 32 folder and scroll down near the bottom and see if it is there, it will be in small letters wininet.dll a few files before winlogon which looks like an arched window with the moon and stars in it. If it is missing, look in C: windows ServicePack Files i386 right click on it and choose send to my documents--go to my documents and highlight it and choose move this file--browse to C windows system 32 and hit move.
Then reboot and see if the problem is fixed. If there is already a copy of wininet.dll in the system 32 folder, it might be corrupted or overwritten by the malware and that is a litttle more involved to fix. If that is the case post back and someone will walk you through that.

thanks for that, Just checked in the system 32 folder and wininet.dll is missing.
I cant seem to find the "C: windows ServicePack Files i386" (Im probably just being dumb so sorry.) I have just noticed some folders in the windows folder, the names are in blue and they ahve names like this "$NtUninstallKB833987$" should they be here? thanks again |

IE6 has to be reinstalled to replace and register wininet.dll.
