ASICNTRL.DLL File Missing

Good morning folks.
When I log in to my computer, I am receiving the following error. "Cannot find ASICNTRL.DLL. Windows needs this file to run C:\Windows\ASISTAT.EXE "
After that I receive the following error. "ASISTAT - Access to the specified device, path or file is denied ".
Then I proceed to the error "DESKTOP - Could not load or run 'ASISTAT' specified in the WIN.INI file. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the WIN.INI file. "
Can you assist me in these problems?
Thanks!
Barb

 

Status monitor for an NEC SuperScript printer
Or possible a Xerox DocuPrint P12 Status Monitor
I see some other printers might also use ASICNTRL.DLL
Do you have either of those printers ?
perhaps taking its shortcut out of the startup folder then reinstalling its software will help ?

Ive no idea why it would be mentioned in A win.ini file

 

I had a similar problem with "ASI.cntrl.dll. "

After my Windows 98 crash, I reinstalled the software on my computer using a recovery disk.

I then attempted to reinstall all of the peripherals I had, including my printer, which is a NEC Super Script 870.

After going through the motions and clicking "Finish" to install the printer driver (from the CD disk), I get a message like this:

"ASI.cntrl.dll driver in use by another program. Close all programs and retry."

What do I do? I didn't have any other progrmas open?

All I want to do is reinstall my printer.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

I'm just bumping this question I posted. Anyone have any tips?

 

To inkcil,

See googles links you may have to copy and paste the url into googles address bar. Sometimes these posted urls work and sometimes they don't.
