  Yes the common control driver "comctl32.dll" is in use during Win95
operation and therefore Windows will not let you change it. From the
Microsoft site the file you need is "40Comupd.exe". This will update the
file automatically.

On the other hand, if you simply have the latest version of "comctl32.dll"
(439kb 11/17/97) then you have to load it in a DOS session. Reboot to DOS,
use DOS commands ("copy", etc.) to copy the file to your Win95/system
directory. When this is done, restart Win95, and the new drivers are in use.
Hope this helps.
