I ran the Dial-a-fix program which repairs issues with SSL/Cryptography, Windows Update, Microsoft Installer etc. As it was running I had the Win 2000 CD in the CD-R to pull whatever DLL's it required, or that were missing.. but these returned errors:

C:\WINNT\system32\appwiz.cpl
C:\WINNT\system32\browseui.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\cdfview.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\cscui.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\dsuiext.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\dsquery.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\dskquoui.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\netplwiz.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\occache.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\sendmail.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\shdocvw.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\wuaueng.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\appwiz.cpl

the errors were:
"Access is denied".."Unspecified error" or "Unable to invoke subscribers".

A few months ago, I did a recent upgrade to the current version of Win 2000.. so all my system files should be uncorrupted and available. I'm not a technician, but most of you are. Can anyone here shine a light on why this happened or what I need to do?

My system runs fine (besides a Windows Installer "Start" issue). Do they need to be re-registered or enabled in the Component Services? I don't know what they are related to.

~thanks in advance, 360freq

Two things may be going on here.

First, it could be that the account you're using has insufficient privileges to overwrite files in the 'Windows' folder and sub-folders.

Second, the files may be protected by System File Protection/Windows File Protection.
