How can i replace and exsisting driver that windows uses through dos with a new version of it?

I don't really get what you're asking. Can you be more specific?

ok, I have the program Vob2Audio and it requires the driver oleaut32.dll only it says mine is too old. I downloaded the newer one only i can't simply replace it in windows b/c windows uses it will it's operating. What i need to know how to do is install it in dos to my windows directory. I'm not fluent on my dos commands and need help.

anybody?

Sorry m8, your posts are hard to understand and I need to guess. Did you already download the new version of oleaut32.dll? If so, copy it to the folder \Windows\System. If Windows aks to overwrite the old file, choose YES. You don't need to re-install the software.

lol........see i can't do that. Windows actively uses it when it runs. I try to just replace it and I get this message: "Cannot create or replace Oleaut32: The specified file is being used by Windows"

So what i'm asking is can i replace it through dos? Sorry for the confusion.

I see. Try doing it in Safe Mode. BTW, what OS are you running?

Win 98 (not SE)

Reboot to real DOS then type:

REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OLEAUT32.DLL OLEAUT32.DL_ (Press Enter)

COPY C:\FOLDER\OLEAUT32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ (Press Enter)

Reboot and let Windows load as normal.

Forgot to say, FOLDER is the name of the folder you have the new DLL.
