I'm having problems getting a program to work.
I've found off the internet a helpfile that claims to solve my
problems.
The solution involves activating a registry file and placing a dll file
in a specific directory.

I've virus checked both files... and nothing.

I've looked inside the registry file with notepad, all I can see is
numbers and letters.
I've tried opening the dll file with notepad and all I can see is junk.
(Erm... yes you've guessed it... a newbie when it comes to these
things...!)

Can someone tell me:

- Is it dangerous to install the registry file?
- How can I make sure the dll file isn't a virus?

Thanks.
