Hi there. I'm running Win XP Home. Whenever I turn on my computer, after I've
signed in, I keep getting this error message "system32\bdmgkol.dll" this file
cannot be found. My computer runs ok but can anyone tell me how to get rid of
this message? And what does it refer to? I've had a look on the Net and its
suppose to belong to earlier Win OS.

Did you run an antivirus or antispyware scan recently on this computer? The
behavior you're describing is usually what happens when an antivirus or
antispyware program identifies a file as malware, deletes the file, but doesn't
clean up the mechanism that launches the malware at startup.

Here's a program from Microsoft that will help you stop the error messages.

AutoRuns for Windows v9.13
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

Once you've downloaded and extracted the files, run autoruns.exe.
Look on the Everything tab for an entry that lists bdmgkol.dll in the Image path
column.
Right click on that entry and select Search Online from the menu.
Odds are that you'll come up with an empty search. This pretty much confirms
that it was some type of malware that your scan deleted.
Uncheck the item.
Restart your computer. If you no longer see the error message, you can go back
and delete the entry in Autoruns.

Just to be on the safe side, you might consider taking steps to make sure the
system is malware free. Here's a site with general instructions on cleaning a
computer.

Thanks Nass for the help. I'll read it and give it a go. Can you help me with
this problem? I've found some strange Chinse writing in mscofig. I've
unticked the box, (there were someother things in there that I did not want
to run at start up that I've unticked as well). The problem is that when I
start up my PC this box comes up telling me to revert to "normal" mode. But
when I do this it puts all the ticks back. What can I do?

Thanks Man

I think if you have a canon printer that installed a language installation
folder it will show you the Chines entry on the msconfig!.
But since this strange error message which indicate infection I will look
into this further, please download the BHO cleanup and the hijackrthis , send
me both the BOH log and the Hijackthis Log file for analysis.

Also it will be much help if you mention your printer and your Anti-virus in
your next message for the above guess about the chines character entry in the
startup.

Download this app:
http://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.html

Download the Hijackthis and run a scan then please send me the log at the
address below:
(http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/hijackthis.php)
Can you please send me a copy at (e-mail address removed) , remove
the obvious to email me.
Let us know your progress.

Don't go back to Normal Mode. Check the box to "not warn you" again.
