already upgraded my ie to service pack 1 long time ago. installed fix for ms office 2000 from microsoft site but still the same. will try again. thanks so much for your reply.
edit looks like u have tried this page already !? maby replace the files that this site suggests manually with system file checker (sfc)
Insert your Win98 CD rom in your drive. Select START/RUN, type SFC in the 'Open' box and press enter. When System File Checker opens, select 'Extract One File from installation disk'. Now enter OLEAUT32.DLL in the search box and press enter. When the 'Extract File' window opens, the 'Restore From' box should be set to your CD rom drive letter as X:\Win98. The 'Save file in:' box should read C:\Windows\System. Now select 'OK' and follow the prompts. Be sure to reboot the system when finished.
I fixed it. Downloaded dcom.98 from ms site to replace my bad file oleaut32.dll. I was able to install my programs now. Thank you for all your replies. I can even go to this Forum without clicking STOP/REFRESH which I used to do.
