Answer

Hi,

DId you follow these steps:-

If you see an error related to the wininet.dll file being deleted or missing,
copy this file from the c:\windows\system32 directory of a working Win XP Pro
or Win Vista computer onto a flashdrive, then use the following procedure to
copy it onto the failing system.
1. At the boot screen (the first thing to appear at power-up), hit the F8
function key.
2. Select 'Safe Mode with Command Prompt' and continue.
3. In the command prompt window, type the letter of your flash drive, either
d: or e: until the drive appears as e:> in the prompt window.
4. Type 'dir' to see the wininet.dll file on that flashdrive.
5. Once you see that file, type 'copy wininet.dll c:\windows\system32'.
6. Unplug the flashdrive and reboot the failing PC.

Then start explorer.exe from task manager.
