[quiggleness]

Ok so yah I keep getting this message that pops up saying "The ordinal 176 could not be located in the dynamic link library OLEAUT32.dll" I also get the message "The ordinal 314 could not be located in the dynamic link library OLEAUT32.dll when starting up or trying to view music files on the internet such as yahoo music videos. I've used virus scanners etc, but have no idea how to fix this. could anyone help or give suggestions, it would be greatly appriciated!:confused:

It most likely means the version of OLEAUT32.dll on your PC is not up to date with the version expected by the application that is trying to call it. If you do a Google search on "OLEAUT32.dll" you'll find lots of hits, a number of which are sites claiming to have downloads you can run to fix this.

I second that recommendation. Clearly, one dynamic-library-link cited has become corrupt (probably benignly so, -could be a single dropped character which invalidates the file). I have had this before when hot-headedly "deleting" unused/unwanted files and utilities instead of "un-installing" them cleanly. -A 'shared .dll' may have taken the hit. But easily replaced, as per suggestion above. :)
