When I start PC (with windows XP home edition) I get the error below or
sometimes the PC fails to start and just stops loading windows and I have to
switch off power to restart again -

"The applicationof DLL c:\windows\system32\cmondll.dll is not a valid
windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

If I then click ok pc seems to work ok but can anyone advise how I fix this
error? Unfortunately I do not have the windos disc as xp was preinstalled on
the PC when purchase.

I hope someone can help

An outside possibity! Do you use Autocad? If not what are your
anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?

I dont use Autocad, have Norton AntiVirus enabled and Norton Internet
Security Enabled.

& I keep Norton updated regularly.

Any ideas?

It's probably a malware infection not picked up by Norton.

Try Spybot (freeware version)
