Error in loading DLL

Using Excel 97 and Win 98 SE. Recently removed some software from the
system using the add/remove software tool in Control Panel. Since the
software removal, I now get an error message every time I launch Excel. The
error message has Microsoft Visual Basic in the title bar, and says "Error
in loading DLL". Clicking the Help button brings up a help topic for Error
48. I did a reinstall of MS Office 97, but it didn't fix the problem. I
then uninstalled Excel and reinstalled, still no joy. I reinstalled the
previously removed software, no help. I originally also had a similar
problem in Access '97 after the software removal, but the MS Office
reinstall solved that one. I suspect that a DLL file needs to be
re-registered but really don't know. Anybody have any thoughts as to the
best way to fix this?

remove xl97 and reinstall it.

(There are lots of DLL's out there. Good luck.)

Thanks. I did do an uninstall of Excel and a fresh re-install, but no luck.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to try a complete uninstall of Office 97 and a
fresh re-install of the whole suite, then apply the service patches.
Perhaps using erase97.exe as well. Sigh.
