Hi all...I posted a thread elsewhere about not being able to load a Delorme app [for a GPS mapping system] to my desktop. It does, however, load onto my two notebooks w/o difficulty, and all three machines are running XP Pro.

On the desktop [which exceeds both laptops in system specs., and greatly exceeds Delorme's operating requirements] it begins to setup, stops, gives me a "error loading W95INF32.Dll" message. The install then terminates.

I've turned all AV stuff off, gone into the system 32 files, replaced that dll, hidden it, removed it, replaced it, tried installing the app in safe mode, nothing works. Delorme's tech people [actually pretty knowledgeable...go figure!] say they haven't run into this problem.

My final attempt would be just to reinstall XP Pro over itself [since it's not an application glitch, but seems to be a corrupted sys 32 thing] and see if the problem gets resolved. The question is, whether or not this works, I can't think of anything it could hurt. Everything is backed up. Other than time spent reinstalling the OS, are there hassles I'm not aware of?
