I recently started getting this message after i fixed a "shell.dll" error I was having.

"Can't rn 16-bit windows program. One of the library files needed to run "file" is damaged. Please reinstall this application."

This program ran fine before the problem I had with the missing "shell.dll" file. I uninstalled the program and all of its files, and then updated my shell file and then reinstalled.  I have done this a few times, and I keep getting the same error message. Everything else on my computer seems to be working fine. Please help. thanks
