FTM - DLL file missing

[TonyaHarris]

When I went to open my FTM file this evening, a message came up saying
OLE2NLS.DLL missing, reinstall from OLE. How do I go about doing that. I
tried reinstalling FTM, but that didn't work. Can someone please help me on
this?

Close down your system. Bring it back up, open up FTM *before* you open
up your mail program. I use IE5/Outlook 5. If I open Outlook first my
FTM reports the same error. If I open FTM first, there is no problem.

This is a message I found on one of the lists. It is a work around, not a
solution, but it worked on my computer.

Does it tell you that the Ole2nls file is missing, or does it tell you that
there was an error in it and suggests re-installing the file?
Ole2nls.dll is a file that should not disappear, but I have seen two other
reports where it did.

Ole2nls.dll is dynamic link library that functions with Windows Regional
Settings. FTM will work without it, but FTM will not work when the Windows
Regional Settings have been corrupted. First make sure that you are indeed
missing this Windows file. There should be a copy in C:\Windows\System. You
can browse this directory for it or use your Windows Finder to locate it.
If you have used the Finder and it shows no place in your computer, you will
need to install the file from you Windows CD-ROM. The easiest way to do that
in Win98 is to go to your System File Checker under System Tools and chose
to extact Ole2nls.dll from your CD-ROM. Extract it into the folder mentioned
above.

Finally, you should employ the work-around mentioned below.
If it told you there was an error in Ole2nls and to re-install the file,
ignore that advice. Instead, use this work-around to prevent the problem
from happening again:
Olen2nls Error Message Fixer:
Here is a simple way to prevent Windows Regional Settings from being
scrambled:

1. Go to Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel.
2. Right click this icon, select Shortcut, and agree to have it placed on
your Desktop.
3. Go to your Desktop, right-click your mouse on the icon and select "Cut".
4. Navigate My Computer>[C]:>Windows>Start Menu>Programs>StartUp folder.
Open the folder.
5. Right-click your mouse on the screen and select "Paste" to put the
Regional Settings shortcut icon in this folder.
6. Exit everything and reboot.
7. When the screen for Regional Settings appears on your desktop, just click
either OK or CANCEL to close it--that is all you do with it.
Keep this short-cut in your Windows Start-Up folder from now on, so that the
Regional Settings screen will appear each time you start your computer.
