SUMMARY

If you don't have the file called Url.dll in your C:\Windows\System folder, you can't connect to the Clip Gallery Live Web site from Microsoft Clip Gallery 3.0. When you click the Connect to Internet button in Clip Gallery, you see this expected message: 

   If you have access to the World Wide Web, click OK to browse additional
   clips from a special Web page. Clips you select from there are
   automatically added to the Clip Gallery.
When you click OK, the mouse pointer changes to an hourglass for a brief time and then becomes a pointer again. Nothing else happens.

In addition, if you open the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Artgalry" folder and double-click the WW_Clip file, you receive this message: 

   RunDll
   Error Loading URL.DLL: The system cannot find the file specified.
