linked to missing export?

[tom]

why does it say 'linked to missing export shell32.dll', or
other? What is cncs32.dll for and what does it why can't I
find 'dll' files seperately?

The error message phrase "(first file) is linked to missing export
(second file) (compenent name)" means that (first file) is expecting
certain content (missing export) contained in (second file) and that
particular content is not there.

The most common cause of this type of error message is that (second
file) is an outdated version and (first file) is looking for something
that is only found in a newer version of (second file). So the usual
way of resolving these errors is to obtain the newest available
version of (second file).

As for cncs32.dll a Google search indicates that this is a graphics
support file that is included with many computer games.

Hope this is of some assistance.

Good luck

It usually means that you installed something
without following the recommended procedure
of shutting down any programs currently running.

Windows is consequently unable to update and
register any system files currently in use at that time
(such as shell32.dll).

Reboot, shut down everything except Explorer and Systray,
then re-install the new program.

To add to what Ron posted in his reply, while the usual cause of the "missing
export" is the need to find the latest version of the second file named, in some
cases the second file is a system file and there are no updated versions available
for that operating system. Such cases arise when you install a program that is not
supported by the operating system you are using. I suspect that you installed a
program that requires Windows 98 or higher, and that is why you are getting the
error in Windows 95.
