I am running Win 98 SE. When I turned on my computer today, a few programs that were on my desktop did not run. The first thing I did was to run:
1. Spybot
2. Adaware
3. Virus check from both Symantic and Trend Online

All of the above showed no problems.

I also noticed that if I clicked Start, Settings, Control Panel, the control panel came up, but if I double clicked any of the icons, such as Add remove files, or System, nothing would happen. They would not open up.

Other programs, such as Excel, Word, my tax program, payroll program, etc, work fine. I also ran System File Check, which showed no errors. My guess, and it's only a guess, is that there is either a .dll missing or corrupted. I am also apending a Hijack This log. Hopefully, one of the genius' here can help me. Thanks so much.
