My guess is that this must be a Visial Basic program:

CTL3D.DLL and CTL3DV2.DLL are Microsoft supplied support files.* Normally,
they are installed with the Windows operating system. Some programs will
install modified versions of those files that will cause other programs to
not function.* CTL3D.DLL is placed in the Windows directory in the SYSTEM
directory.* CTL3DV2.DLL is also placed in the SYSTEM directory except if the
O.S. is Windows NT (in which case it is placed in the SYSTEM32 directory).

See if you can find it on the CD, then shove a copy of it where they say: in
Windows/System If theres already one in there, dont delete it, just in case,
but move it out to somewhere else, maybe a 'New Folder', stick in the good
one off the CD... If you can't find the file on the CD, I found the
following on Microsoft Support Knowledge base:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/97361
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/113898

Both point to the DLL you can download from MS:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/file/3.1/w31/en-us/ctl3d.exe
