install visualbasic runtime files (i think thats where comctl32.dll is located)

& extract the msgina.dll from your cd/i386 directory it will probly be called MSGINA.DL_ use winrar 2 extract it put it in the system32 folder of your problematic OS

Copy the files mentioned above to a floppy. You can try to hit F5 during boot up and entering safe mode - command prompt. You can then copy the files to the appropriate folders from the command line......Worth a shot anyway!
