Tabs Missing from Add/Remove Programs Tool

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you run the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel, the Windows Setup and Startup Disk tabs may be missing.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the Setupx.dll file is missing or damaged. The Setupx.dll file should be located in the Windows\System folder, with a size of 355,136 bytes.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Rename or remove the Setupx.dll file (if it exists) in the Windows\ System folder.

2. Extract a new copy of the Setupx.dll file from your original Windows 95 disks or CD-ROM. The Setupx.dll file is located in the Precopy1.cab cabinet file in the Win95 folder on the CD-ROM, or in the Precopy2.cab cabinet file on disk 2.
