Ordinal 442 Error message

[Daley]

Well, I hope this time I'm in the right place to talk about my problems ...I'm using windows Vista, These past few weeks I have from time to time this window opens:

Setup.exe - Ordinal Not Found

the ordinal 442 is not found in the dynamic link library OLEAUT32.DLL

What should i do now? thanks for any advice?

Good evening,

This error is due to a software conflict. The dll was due to be replaced by an obsolete program for Vista.

this message indicates an incompatibility between the dll (Oleaut32.dll) presents on the system and the program that tries to use it. Either your programs are too old and trying to call a function that no longer exists, or a program has come over and install a old version of Oleaut32.dll.

It must replace your version of Oleaut32.dll with the one used by Vista. There is little chance that you have the installation DVD of Vista (one supplied by Microsoft, not the manufacturer of your machine), then I suggest you a small parade, download and install this update from Microsoft, because plus this version on your machine creates a huge security hole.
