I'm online now...when I try to open any Word, Notepad, Wordpad, Frontpage, etc file I get an error message:

"The procedure entry point CloseClipboard could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll"

What to do?

Try this:

1.) Give following command in RUN dialog box:

regsvr32 %windir%\System32\USER32.dll

2.) If it doesnt work, then try to replace the USER32.dll file from the XP Setup!

Thanks guys,

But problem solved.

First I tried to open a text file in my browsers.....didn't work with (stupid grrr!) Internet Explorer 6. Same error message.

But Opera 9.01 was great....text file opened in a flash!

Later on I restarted my PC and now the problem isn't there.

Opera is great and IE succkkks!
