I put the Windows 98 disk into the disk drive to see if that would help but it didn't. I also tried putting the ethernet floppy in and that didn't do a thing.

The system DLL user32.dll was reallocated in memory.The application will nor run properly .The reallocation occred because the dll c:\windows\sytem32\shell32.dll occupied an address range reserved for windows system DLLs .the vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL.

: I have a pentuim 150 running Windows 98 and installed a ethernet adaptor. It seems to go well but when I tried to restart the computer I kept getting the Shell32.DLL cannot start error message. I took the ethernet card out and also get explorer caused an exception 6d007eH in module explorer.EXE @ 105f:0040a067

: I put the Windows me disk into the disk drive to see if that would help but it didn't. I also tried putting the ethernet floppy in and that didn't do a thing.

: Help please.

Some program you installed changed the shell32.dll file and it is not loading properly. Microsoft recommends that this is a file you can safely reinstall without reinstalling your whole OS!

You can check out support.microsoft.com KBA Q137273 for more information. I will try to explain it in short:

Hopefully you know dos commands a little...
1)restart computer in MSDOS
2)at the command prompt, type cd c:/windows/system
3)at the command prompt, type rename shell32.dll shell32.bad
4)at the command prompt, type cd c:/windows/sysbckup
5)at the command prompt, type copy shell.dll c:/windows/system/shell32.dll
6)restart computer

Another option is to use the system file checker tool. You can check out Microsoft's KBA Q185836
