    be sure and:
    
    	-scandisk
    	-scan for viruses (virii?)
    	-pull down a shareware program that is kind enough to locate DLL
    	files that are used by executing programs... *IF* you can run the
    	offending program long enough to where it (the offending program)
    	tries to access the bad dll.
4715.4check CTL3DV2.DLLGRUFFY::ZAHORARob ZahoraMon Jan 27 1997 15:388
    Check your version of CTL3DV2.DLL.  The latest version of this file is
    2.31.  I've often had install programs over-write this DLL with an older
    version, causing the error message that you noted.
    
    Also, be sure that only one version of this file exists in any of the
    directories in your PATH statement.  This includes renamed versions of
    the file.  If you want to keep copies of the current and older versions
    for reload and compare purposes, put the copies on a different disk.
4715.5STAR::DZIEDZICTony Dziedzic - DTN 381-2438Mon Jan 27 1997 16:403
    FWIW, CTL3DV2.DLL wants to reside in the Windows System directory;
    if it gets loaded from elsewhere, it WILL complain (at least any
    version past 2.1x does).
4715.6Deleted OLE2*.DLL and re-installed....success! ICARUS::BRANDIMARTEMon Feb 03 1997 18:2617
    Well, the problem is (or seems to be) solved.  Not really sure of why,
    but it was clear that the OLE2*.DLL files has something to do with it. 
    As I stated in earlier posts I de-installed all of MSOFFFICE which
    included WINORD and EXCEL and then re-installed everything.  But that
    did not correct the problem.  So, I did the same thing again, but this
    time I deleted the OLE2*.DLL files too.  After the re-install
    everything worked just fine.  So for now everything seems to be working
    ok and I haven't had any problems crop up with other applications that
    might use the OLE2.DLL files.
    
    Thanks to all for yor help and guidance.
