Assuming the "it" which is in the c:\msbob directory is the "missing" uextra.dll, there are two ways you can make the BOB program "see" the uextra.dll file.
You can put a copy of uextra.dll in the c:\windows\system directory. This is where many of Windows' DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files reside and it is in the operating system's search path.
The other method is to put the c:\msbob directory in the system path. From Start go to Run and enter SYSEDIT in the Open field. Use SYSEDIT to edit the autoexec.bat file. If there is a line that starts SET PATH= or PATH=, add ;C:\MSBOB to the end of it. (Don't forget the initial semicolon.) Otherwise, add a line with this content: SET PATH=C:\MSBOB
If the only problem with BOB is the "missing" DLL file, this will make BOB happy and well.
P.S. Microsoft has long since stopped supporting BOB. It's probably time for you to give up on him too unless he serves a pressing need.
Good luck!
