hi,
been having a bit of a problem...whenever i try to open
msn messenger (version 6) it keeps coming up with the
error message: 'the MSNMSGR.EXE file is linked to missing
export OLEAUT32.DLL:313'
does anyone know how i can fix this?
i have OLEAUT32.DLL in my system files but it doesn't
recognise the :313 bit when i search for it...

cheers

Greetings Mika,

The OLEAUT32.DLL file has just been taken over by something else. To fix this download and
run this file on the PC:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/install/6/Win98Me/EN-US/VBRun60.exe

After installation, reboot and then try again.
