missing DLL files
What do I do to restore these files to my PC? I went to the Microsoft website, and they say it's not supported by their support group. I have Windows XP Home Edition, and the CD is on older version than what is now updated on the PC.

Insert the Windows XP Home CD before you run system file checker. Hold down the Shift key when you put the CD in to prevent it from autostarting. Then run sfc /scannow and the CD should not autostart and go into an install mode when it is needed to replace files.

"Adobe failed to start TwainPP.dll was not found.", also couldn't open the Works calendar..said, "try reinstalling Works"
I did what you suggested, and it did find missing files, so put in the Windows XP CD as it told me to, then the menu came up to reinstall.....which I tried to do earlier, but it said the CD was an earlier version than that on my PC. It seems it is doing something from the scan you suggested, once I put in the disk. It's checking the protected Windows files are intact, it says. It still won't let me install from this CD. And still get the same messages. It finished scanning,a nd now says "files required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL cache. Insert your Windows XP Home Edition CD Rom now..which I did, but doesn't seem to be getting them from it. so what does one do? That's the CD that came with this PC.

Well, I reinstalled ADOBE Photoshop, now guess I need to do the same for WORKS....still don't understand why these programs disappeared, or files did! I keep everything updated and protected...at least I thought I did! It doesn't seem it took anything off the CD during the scan. I'm lost now!

Never did either of those, so guess I will just reinstall what it tells me to, but sure don't understand why it would happen all of a sudden like that. Thanks so much for your help!
