As Jerry already said, multiple copies are never good. Depending on your
path a different version might be loaded than you think. Make sure the
one in system32 is the up to date one and delete all the others on your
system.

I'm pretty sure every user on a standard system configuration has at
least read and execute permissions on the system32 directory, otherwise
it would be impossible for applications to read system dlls. :-)

But if you want to check to make sure just right click on the directory,
select 'Sharing and Security' and click on the Security tab. At least
that's the way it works on XP Pro.

Bye!

They have them on the directory, but not necessarily on the files, which
is why I suggested he go to a Windows newsgroup. There are slight
differences between versions of Windows.
