    i just had major issues trying to install a copy of IE7 on my win xp system where i got the error explorer.exe can't locate normaliz.dll when starting up.

    thank fully i tried a few tricks that did not work. these were confirmed by someone on a thred with a similar name as this as what he tried.

    Unfortunatly for him he ended up loosing all his info etc and mate if you read this i have done it so many tmes now i have lost count so dont orry you're not alone.

    HOWEVER, although a lot of people gave good advice i have found a very simple solution that will work with any .dll file that goes missing and explore cant load. heres what i did in this situation.



    - loaded windows



    - got explorer.exe can't locate normaliz.dll



    - CRTL + ALT + DEL i brought up task manager



    - i went file - newtask (run)



    - i , on another computer had gone to www.dll-files.com and downloaded a copy of normaliz.dll and put it on a usb key. the website even showed me where i was to put it as after searching for normaliz.dll on another pc i was unable to find it.



    - in the browse for the application box that came up after clicking run in task manager i went to my usb key changed the box from applications to all files, got the normaliz.dll and copied it to c:\windows\system32\



    - after i did that i closed the browse window, went "run" agian typed "explorer" and BANG!! WINDOWS STARTED.



    - i then went to c:\Windows\ie7\spunist\ ran spunist.exe got rid off ie7 restarted as it said to and bang all back to working as it should be.

    i dont know if anyone will ever read this but if they do i hope they can fix this simple problem that seemed all hope was gone (i had my copy of windows in my cd drive ready to reinstall)

    ***NOTE*** i did all this in safe mode but it shpould matter if it is in normal or safe. i however suggest safe as to not stuff anything else up.

    ENJOY
