']Hi Mel,
Regarding your post below, this [dll] is not native to Windows. Since
it
cannot be found, you should focus on removing the reference that is
calling
it. One of the best tools for this is MSConfig. (Start Run MSConfig).
When MSConfig launches go to the last tab - the Startup tab, and look
for a
reference to either this file (it's not likely to be listed) or a
program
that may be calling for it. This might not be too obvious but see if
there
are any items in the list that you feel may have gotten added recently.
If
you see what you feel may be an obvious culprit, uncheck the item and
any
associated items.
Since the culprit may not be obvious in the list you may have to
isolate
the cause by a process of elimination. Notice that some of the
programs
being launched at startup are from the registry, and some are from the
Startup folder on the Start Menu.
Best next step: go back to the General tab, choose Selective Startup,
then
Uncheck "Load startup Items" and restart. If on restart you do not see
the
error, then you can assume the cause is in the set of startup items.
If you still see the error after disabling startup items, in MSConfig
/
Selective Startup / Uncheck Load System Services.
