What are SHLWAPI.DLL Errors? |
| A. |
Several users have reported access violations in SHLWAPI.DLL. Most often under Windows 98 with IE 5.01 installed. It seems the solution lies in uninstalling Comet Cursor via Add/Remove Programs. Comet Cursor can be downloaded from many web sites and is also shipped in updates to Real Player. If the uninstall doesn't work, remove comet.dll manually. |
