msconfig, and rebooting the computer).
3. You may need to copy/paste the ***** as Administrator.
4. If the original ashBase.dll cannot be replaced with the *****ed ashBase.dll
then just drag out the orignal ashBase.dll, and copy/paste the *****ed
ashBase.dll into the same directory. Or eventually copy/paste the *****ed
ashBase.dll in Safe Mode (F8), using an Administrator account.
