Where can I get Imagehlp.dll for WIndow98 SE ?

[JDarvall]

Bit of a long story, but I'm still using Windows 98 and this old computer.

That file is missing altogether from the C:\windows\system32 directory. (something to do with some anti-virus program I deleted)

Means, Outlook express is agonizingly slow to startup. Apparantly all I need do is put a copy of it back to fix the problem.

However, the CD's that came with this computer don't just include the simple windows 98 disk, which is all I need to copy back a copy of this file. Their sort of package system recovery CD instead. Just can't find the right directories on those CD's, according to the instructions I've read off google.

Google nearly fixed it for me. But couldn't find any downloads for the second edition of windows 98. (the advertising is bloody terrible though isn't it.)

Any suggestions on where I can get this file from?

Thanks.

Thank you kindly Station rat. Love that sort of help. No stuffing about.

You've fixed the problem for me. :)

Windows 98 :crash: ? You poor bastard!

I'm now running OSX on a MacBook Pro, with a Windows XP emulator (and dual booting OSX and WinXP) I could multiboot into a Windows 98 partition, but I ain't EVER going back to that dinosaur! (I'd rather go back to DOS 6.22a)

Strange one today - I was running an Apple ][e emulator within Windows XP on a Apple MacBook Pro :o Even funnier is the MacBook Pro cost about as much in actual dollars as the Apple ][e did!!!! (and yes, I still have a functional Apple ][e - it is in my office for anyone who's visited there)

You would have found the file with google...
next time you need a dll there is a site that has em all

Stuart, I don't understand ?... I just don't know computers very well. I'm getting there. Sounds like I should ditch 98 though. I tried once....but that stuffed up. It seems to be working reasonably well, as long as I don't do anything different. Use nothing else other than IE and OE and that photo import tool, and that site :o joking.

Old picker.......I think I may have found that site. The imagehlp.dll file they offered wasn't for my version of windows though. Some bloke asking why that was so in the feedback section as well. Doesn't matter now anyway, I've got it, thanking you station rat.

Was just showing off my new toy 'tis all.

As to Windows 98 - it was a definite improvement on 95 (and ME), and the 98 second edition was a worthwhile improvement as well. Once you experience XP in comparison to 98, you'd be rather impressed. XP was (well, almost was) a particularly stable OS, and made using peripherals much easier, with many of the drivers built in. Much better security, and quite a bit less demanding on computer resources than 98. I installed it on a couple of computers that struggled with 98, and they actually worked better because of this.

Given that the computer is doing the job you require of it, keep going until you can stand it no more, and then ditch it, and that 9 1/2 year old operating system, and discover how far computer technology has come!

My current suggestion for non-computer people is the new Mac Mini. Sub $1000, uses the Intel chip, so it can run Windows natively. Couples the beauty of mac hardware with the ability to run Windows for those that can't transition away.

Once you go mac, you never go back ;)
