Registry Corruption (mshtml.dll)

I removed the Ram after getting all sorts of strange messages and startup
problems. The result is now I am only getting this one message when trying
to launch an internet browser.

I would try Start, Run, type "sfc /scannow" without quotes
and hit Enter.

Thanks. Is there anything else needed to be done after the file checker has
completed?

Did SFC resolve the issue?

Hi BigDogR - Yes, when sfc completes, check your Event Viewer (in
Administrative Tools) and see if there are any event messages indicating
that a component was replaced/restored. If so, then you'll need to
re-register that component (.exe, .dll, .ocx, etc.) using:

regsvr32 i <full component name with extension> from within a Command
window opened in the

%SystemDirectory% (probably c:\windows\system32 assuming you're on XP).

If the component is installable, then you should get a successful completion
message; otherwise, an appropriate error message. If you get an error
message "Load library (i) failed, then re-run the command without the i to
just register the component.

regsvr32 <full component name with extension>
