I really screwed up this time. Where did my WININET.DLL file go?

OK, time for a 'safe mode' question. Whenever I try to run safe mode on my Windows ME, the mouse is disabled, with the stupid little white arrow sitting in the middle of the screen. Anyone know how to enable the mouse, or some other way to navigate the screen in safe mode?

Make a boot floppy, copy the missing DLL to it, boot you dad's machine with the floppy, copy the file to the proper place, reboot without the floppy.dll files to download for free
Yep, and while your at it, reinstall Nortons, that should take care of those other errors.
Many times when you've inadvertently deleted system files the fix is actually no more complicated than replacing the missing file. If you've got the missing .dll, just try copying it back into the windows\system folder and reboot.

So, it sounds like it is something easy to fix. Thanks to all of you!

I was gonna link to the Google Image Page for "blonde" - but I viewed it and decided it was not such a good idea.

Try downloading it from this
link, copy to floppy and put on your computer.

Just tell your dad it's Al Gore's fault. He didn't make the Internet robust enough when he invented it. Good luck! Ha! He's a Republican so he'll like that one. In fact, I think he already made an "Al Gore" statement similar to that this morning!

That I can't help you with. Windows ME defied all my attempts at rescuing its users. Do you have access to 2000 or XP? I'd recommend XP.

If I don't get his computer fixed, he'll be going out to buy a new one too. Then I'll have my Mom mad at me.
You're right. You can't win for losing in these situations. :-)

Well thanks for trying and the quick reply. I'll probably just plod along on this raggedy old e-machine until I absolutely need 'safe mode', and then it will be a good excuse to finally spend the dough on a new computer.

Actually, when you reboot at first, I'd boot into Safe Mode (press F8 during boot - I don't know when exactly, so I start pressing it as soon as the DOS screen comes up).Right after the BIOS POST memory check and before "Loading Windows".
Thank you very much. I was afraid I would break something if I just sat on the thing.

Seriously - when I was installing my DSL software a few years ago, the disc I got was screwed up and it kept telling me that files (.dll) were missing. I would just look for them on the net and download them to the installation folder. I was shocked that it worked.
To: Nita Nupress
Hold the key too long you'll hear a long string of beeps, that is the computer telling you to take your finger off the F8 key. LOL :)
