  CWWEB.DLL Not Found.

  -or-

  A required Creative Writer file, CWWEB.DLL, is missing. Please re-install
  Creative Writer by running Setup on the Creative Writer CD.

CAUSE

Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, copy the Cwweb.dll file from the Creative Writer
compact disc to the same directory as Writer.exe. Microsoft has created a file
called Dllmove.exe that will move Cwweb.dll to the correct directory to avoid
this problem in the future. Double-click Dllmove.exe to run it.

How to Obtain Dllmove.exe
