Problem with DLL files during Windows2000 installation

Windows2000 official version of the listing, may be a lot of friends and I would like to take a taste of fresh. But this "Plague 2000" is after all the development of the NT as the core, many functions are not convenient to use, so often at the same time retain a set of "Plague bar." Although they are a sibling, they are supposed to work together, but if you put them in the same partition, it is possible that such a strange problem might arise.

My hard disk has four partitions, where C is FAT32 4G, dedicated to the operating system, installed a simplified Chinese version of the Windows98 second Edition, a set of Windows Professional Simplified Chinese version. The two have been peaceful. Suddenly one day I want to look at the system situation, from 98 of the attachment-system Tools Run "system Information", and did not appear familiar interface, but prompted not to find the MFC42U.dll file. When you think it's time to accidentally delete a file and copy one from another machine, is it okay? But I can't find this DLL file on my friend's computer, and there's nothing about running system information on his computer. What's going on?

Home Format the hard drive reinstall 98, run the "System Information" no problem, a look is not MFC42U.dll file, and then installed 2000, and then into 98 run "System Information", and prompted to this strange DLL file, it seems to install 2000 things. Into the 2000 directory in the SYSTEM32 directory, found MFC42U.dll, copied into 98 directories, prompted that the DLL version error. Take a closer look at the 2000 file structure and find the problem. If you put 2000 and 98 in the same partition, some applications under 2000 automatically use the Program Files directory of 98 for the installation directory. The "System Information" under 98 is actually C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\msinfo\msinfo32. EXE file, and 2000 of the system information is the same path under the same file name files, loaded 98 and then loaded 2000, then 98 of the MSINFO32.exe was automatically replaced by 2000, so there is such a look for DLL file strange phenomenon.

The solution is simple, insert the installation CD at 98, select "Run" from the Start menu, type "SFC" in the "open" field, start the System File Checker, select "Extract a file from the installation floppy", and type "MSINFO32.exe". Then enter the 98 installation path and the extracted file placement path can restore the original 98 MSINFO32.exe. Rename it as MSINFO32. exe, C:\Program files\common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo directory, and then replace the "System Information" shortcut with 98 for "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\msinfo\msinfo32 (). exe ", everything is resolved.
