Hello and thanks in advance for your help.

Running Windows XP (Home Edition)

When I attempt to review any audio or video file, I receive the following
error:Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

However, DCIMAN32.dll is resident in the system32 directory.

I can't delete it.
I can't rename it.
I can't overwrite it with a new version, not even in Safe Mode.
(I downloaded a new DCIMAN32.dll from Freeware, but I don't know if its the
correct file.)

I found a "solution" from Expert Exchange... this solution suggested that I
EXTRACT the file from a Windows XP install disk. I "borrowed" a Windows XP
Pro cd from a friend.. and followed the directions exactly to Extract this
file.. but it still won't allow me to copy over the new file.

QUESTIONS
1) What do I do? eeeeek!
2) Is there any way to boot this machine and bypass the Windows XP
operating system so I can delete this file?

I'm quite a NOVICE and sadly, I need Step-By-Step instructions..

Please, this is so important as I have to give a multi-media intensive
presentation very soon.

THANK YOU ~ David ~ (e-mail address removed)
