Cannot find res_dll error

Question

My daughter's Dell Dimension E521 running XP shows Load dll error 'Can't load res_dll'  This happened just after removing Linksys software and reinstalling software for a WRT54G.   A previous thread mentioned downloading a driver from Linksys for this, but the resolution's success was not documented.  While we'll give that a try this morning, I really would like to know what happened.    Does the Linksys installation remove res_dll?   What does res_dll do?  How is the machine impacted by its absence.   And, I'll post here how the download from Linksys works. UPDATE:  I have not located on Linksys any reference to res_dll error.  Would appreciate help here more than ever!   Thanks! Message Edited by Blick_TX on 10-30-2007 08:28 AM

Sounds like the Linksys removal may have left something behind. I would check the registry run sections first for keys associtated with "res_dll".

\HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

\HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

If you find a key related to it, right click on it and delete.

Core 2 Duo E6600/2.4GHZ
1 GB 667MHz Ram
