Answer 1

I take it you just click the OK button and your system runs right after that?

If so, you may be able to get rid of the phony message by going into msconfig and keeping the file from starting up.  Here's how:

1. Click on the Start->Run menu item.

2. In the Run text box, type in msconfig, then press Enter.

3. In MsConfig, click the Startup tab.

4. See if there's an entry for that filename.  If there is, clear the checkbox next to its name.

5. Click OK.

6. Accept the reboot option.

Hopefully, the message won't come up on the next reboot.  You will, however, get a message about your configuration having changed.  In fact, if you just click OK, you'll get this message after every reboot, however, if you click the checkbox and click OK, the message won't come up again unless and until you make another msconfig change.

Good luck.

I don't think that will work because that is a system error. Most likely you have deleted a dll system file that multiple files rely on to run ok. I would pop your windows disc in and reinstall windows over the top. You could also open up AVG and try and find the quarantine section, from there you might be able to restore the file.

Why don't you  just use system restore?
