Run .dll errorl

[Getting Old]

Using Windows XP-sp2
when I reboot my system, I keep getting this message box on the desktop
"Run Dll
Error Lading C:\windows\sysstem32\uptnxbkn.dll
This specified module could not be found"

It came up awhile after I was checking spy-bot and I migh have clicked on
the wrong thing in error, this is what I am assuming, but could be wrong

What does the error mean, and how do I restore it.

Appreciate any help

it may be a good
thing because what
the message is letting
you know is that the
dll needed by some
program trying to run
cannot find it anymore.

it may have been zapped
by your antiviral.

however, there may also
be a possibility that the
dll is something you actually
need but the antivirus zapped
it because that dll was not
recognized.

the key thing here is to find
which program is starting and
subsequently trying to load
that dll.

if you click on start>run>msconfig

after you enter and run msconfig
there will be some tabs available
to view.

go to the start up tab and see if
there is a program that may be
linked to that dll.

it would be a program that ultimately
failed to run since it cannot load
that dll.

if you find what the program is
then you might try to uninstall
it "or" if it is a program you actually
need then you will have to reinstall
it.

let us know which program it is
and we can provide some additional
fyi on it.
