Comctl32.dll missing

When starting up windows, I get the following

Comctl32.dll is missing from c:\windows\system.

when you click Ok the machine just stops and will not load windows.

It will NOT even load into SAFE MODE.

Copy it from another system onto a floppy, boot it to a command prompt, then copy the file from the floppy to where it belongs. At the DOS prompt:

copy a:\comctl32.dll c:\windows\system
