wininet.dll is giving me alot of errors! Some sites within iexplorer.exe don't work and msnmessenger doesn't work!

Does anyone know where I can find a working version of wininet.dll?

Thank you

What os are you running over there?

[Johnburk]

Windows XP and it will not let me delete the old one to replace with the new one

[blockcipher]

John,

To replace the file try to use the WinXP Recovery Console.

Thank you blockcipher,

What if I don't have the XP cd anymore?

[blockcipher]

Do you have the i386 dir on your local hard disk? If so do the following:

With Windows running, insert the Setup CD into your CD-ROM drive.

Start > Run > X:i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons

I replaced the file with the one I found at http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/d...s.shtml?wininet and my whole iexplorer.exe was no longer working

Does anyone have a newer version?

[A Grateful Dad]

Yup..

Goto www.mozilla.org and download Firefox 1.0.2...

Open it, install it and the voila, no more IE crap...

Cheers!

I also use Opera 7.54 and Opera 8 Beta and the both have the same (windows) problem! Its not an IE problem

Are you sure it's "iexplorer.exe" and not "iexplore.exe"? The former is a virus while the latter is Internet Explorer. Given everything you've posted you are correct that this is a Windows issue.

[Johnburk]

Yes, I am sure.

I will just backup. format and restart.
