Missing mscoree.dll - and some!!!

[Guest]

I am experiencing the same problem as others with missing "mscoree.dll" and
Norton. However I also lose my printer and <My Computer> does not respond
properly. It goes to the "Searching Torch" graphics and then takes
forever(at least 10-15mins) to display properly. Any subsequent navigating
to or from < My Computer> takes just as long. Any help in " Non Gheeky"
speak will be gratefully received, as this Dork has re-installed Windows
times to try a fix this.

Grateful in advance

Mscoree.dll is part of the .NET framework for Windows.
Go to Add/Remove and remove the .NET framework there.
To reinstall .NET Framework go to:
www.microsoft.com/net or from the Windows Update Site.

Thanks to Taurian and S.Sengupta for speedy replies. I think you may have
overlooked a couple of key words/phrases - namely "non Gheeky and Dork".
Although the use of more than 4 letters in "computer speak" loses me I also
have many unresolved battles with logic(or should that just be computers)

I had scanned other queries and saw part of my problem reported(and
presumably fixed) elsewhere, HOWEVER!!!!

1) I can find no reference to a .NET Framework in my Add/Remove.

2) I have totally re-installed Windows 3 times - immediately installing(and
up-dating) Norton Firewall & Systemworks

3) At this moment there is only Windows/Fujitsu AMILO standard software
installed + Norton + Canon Printer + BT Wireless Software and now Ad-Aware.

4) Ad-Aware found nothing.

5) Can think of no Repeated action the caused the <My Computer> and
<Printer> problem.

Many thanks again

Yours aye

Jimbo, you can download and install NET Framework from here:-

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en

Then download:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...4F-088E-40B2-BBDB-A83353618B38&displaylang=en

With regard to slow computer - have you actually checked for viruses etc?

Thanks again to Taurarian and S.Sengupta.

I solved the mscoree.dll problem by "ignoring" it on Norton(rightly or
wrongly) and it seems to work.

The computer was clear of viruses and ad-ware.

The extremely slow "My Computer" problem has been solved by disabling the
"Windows Image Aquisition" (WIA) file.

However I have to admit that I do not understanding why I should be
disabling a (Windows) File that has been legitimately installed. I also do
not know what else that file controls and what other problems I may have
caused.

Thanks again,

Yours aye

Jimbo

Sorry for the delay in responding - had a bit of a hospital problem. Thanks
to everyone for their help. I seem to have got that particular set of
problems fixed (or disabled!!) and I might even understand a little about it.
Will now try and fix the BIGGIE - where my computer is taking 15 - 20 minutes
to get going, only showing me a progress bar that creeps slowly across the
bottom of my screen. I've paid a lot of money for that simple pleasure!!
Anyway that is for another post. Once again thanks for the great advice and
assistance and it's FREE. (Can you tell I'm a Scotsman?) Bye.....
