Any ancient Windows gurus out there? Runtime 114 error

Calling Gandalf... Gandalf needed on isle 5...

I work at a science museum, one of my many thankless jobs is propping up ancient computers and keeping them running with toothpicks and bubble gum.

No, no, no, I can't upgrade the operating system or the hardware because we have no money... and the original application was written in Visual Basic (C++), compiled and installed fifteen years ago with Win95.

At least once a day we get a "runtime error 114", right now the resolve is to go out on the floor and reboot. Searching the Internet I get something about the error is caused by "a missing or not registered DLL file".

I also see "free upload of registry repair tools" and I am Internet savvy enough to be totally paranoid about that.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!
