1. Make sure you can see all hidden files and folders (View tab in
Folder Options). In XP, there are four checkboxes to deal with:

a. Check "Display the contents of system folders".
b. Check "Show hidden files and folders".
c. Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".
d. Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and click "OK" to the
dialog box.

2. Now that you can see everything, go to My Computer and double-click
on your C:\ drive. Navigate to:
C:\Windows\System. Once there, leave that window open.

3. Go to My Computer again and double-click on your C:\ drive. Navigate to:
C:\Windows\System32. Once there, leave that window open.

You will now have two windows open. To make things even easier, if you
do not have the addressbar showing, go to View>Toolbars and put a check
next to the addressbar. This will help you see where you are in the file
system.

4. In the System folder window, locate WinG32.DLL. Right-click it and,
still holding down the right mouse button, drag it over to the System32
folder. Let go of the right mouse button and you'll get a context menu.
Choose "Copy" - *not* "Move". Now you will have the WinG32.DLL file
where it belongs. You can then go back to the System folder and delete
the WinG32.DLL file if desired.
