Hello,

error message
"Ther application or dll C:\WINDOWS\System32\diphdb.dll is not a valid
windows image. please check this against your installation diskette.
but the problem a check other system and cannot fine the file
diphdb.dll.
If any one can help with this I try everything to my knowledge.
thank you!!!
Googling for "diphdb.dll" brings up no links, which is suspicious and
suggest that you probably have malware on your computer. Do the
following:
What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not
earlier than 2003 using updated virus definitions) show? Also, remove
spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from
www.safer-networking.org and
Ad-aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs
before running them. These programs are free, so run them both since
they complement each other. It is best to run antivirus and spyware
removal tools in Safe Mode. You may also want to run CWShredder and
HijackThis from
http://aumha.org/freeware.htm. Although CWShredder is
no longer being updated, it will still clean older variants of the
CoolWebSearch malware. A combination of HijackThis and About:Buster
(
http://www.majorgeeks.com) works well in removing homepage hijackers.
Please read the instructions carefully. Make sure you are able to see
all hidden files and extensions (View tab in Folder Options). Also,
make sure you've visited Windows Update and applied all security
patches. Do not install driver updates from Windows Update. Make sure
you are running a firewall.
