    Windows sets the temp folder as c:\windows\temp. If you have a c:\temp, it was probably added by a program or something. Some people will "manually" add a temp folder to c: via c:\autoexec.bat with the set command;

    MD C:\TEMP
    SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
    SET TMP=C:\TEMP

    (Some programs use the tmp variable as opposed to temp, hence the two lines.)

    "Dell help worked."

    Is this a Dell machine, and you found a fix through their Help files/Website?

    "PS how does one know what dll version for what operating system?"

    Well, you start out with the files that come with the O/S. This is your ~minimum~ version. Then as you load software, updates, utilities, etc, if a program requires a higher version than the one currently installed, the program and/or system will either install/update the dll, or it will advise you. (As it did in your case.)

    So the more loaded, the more the likelyhood that you'll need a newer version. Keeping track of the versions will be done by the system/software installed on it. To ~know~ what version, you'd have to read all the relevant documentation for the operating system or the program etc in question.
