Question

Ok I Need Help Getting One Of My Programs To Run ... It Has An Error That Pops Up Everytime I Try To Load It ... It Says ' The PSAPI.DLL file is linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL:wcslen. ' Ok A Few Other Things That Might Help Is ... My Computer Is Only A Windows 98 Second Edition ... Before I Got This Program I Downloaded A Different One Just Like It , The Earlier Program Said I Was Missing Psapi.dll So I Went Online And Downloaded A Newer Version Of It And I Put It In My System Folder ... It Still Didn't Recognize That I Had It In There ... Then I Gave Up On That Program And Downloaded This Newer One ... From Here Is Where It Said I Was MIssing That NTDLL.DLL:wcslen ... So I Noticed From There That It Found The Psapi.dll File ... I Downloaded A NTDLL.DLL File Online And Was Going To Put It In My System Folder But There Was A File That Was There To Begin With The Same Name So I Didn't Erase It ... I Was Wondering How Can I Fix That Error So That My Program Runs ... Also Would Upgrading My Computer Fix The Problem Because It Might Already Have All The Things Needed That Were Missing To Run It ... Also Is There A Link That I Could Download A Upgrade To My Computer Without Buying The CD For It ???

If the new file has the same name, just drop it in the same folder and say "Yes" when it asksd if you want to overwrite the old one.

Also Would Upgrading My Computer Fix The Problem Because It Might Already Have All The Things Needed That Were Missing To Run It ...

Possibly, since the error message you're getting often occurs when trying to run apps designed for XP/Win2k on a Win9x machine.

Also Is There A Link That I Could Download A Upgrade To My Computer Without Buying The CD For It ???

If you mean upgrade your operating system, no. Operating systems aren't sold that way.

Dell can send you a new keyboard to fix that caps lock key that seems to get stuck "on" at the beginning of every word, though.

What I Meant About Upgrading Was Theres Cd's Where It Replaces All The System Files On Your Computer So That It Acts As Thought Its Whatever The Cd Was ... ( I.E. Windows XP ) If I Bought A Cd That Was Like That It'd Make It So That My Computer Is Upgraded To Windows XP ... Also About Rewriting The Cd I Know How To Do That ... It Was The Risk Of Messing Up Something In The Main System Directory In Case The File Was Newer And The System Wouldn't Recognize It And It'd Mess Up The Entire System ...

To upgrade your operating system from Windows (something else) to Windows XP, you must purchase the Windows XP operating system on a CD. It cannot legally be downloaded.

Also, I don't know about your system, but your practice of beginning every word with a capital letter is messing up my system something fierce. It's exceptionally difficult to make any sense of what you're trying to say with punctuation like that.
