Hi Pete,
When I boot up, a RUNDLL message appears on the windows screen that says " error loading C:\windows\image.dll. The spedified module could not be found." How do I fix this?
This was posted here recently:
"Click start and then run.
Type regedit
Go to:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windos\CurrentVersion|Run
On the right you'll find
image REG_SZ rundll32 c:\Windows\image.dll,install
delete image.dll,install
and while still in the registry editor:
Go to:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\explorer\run
On the right you'll find:
image REG_SZ rundll32 c:\Windows\image.dll,install
delete image.dll,install
Plus...collapse everything to the left of the registry editor until
only My Computer with the + sign in front of it shows:
At the top, click Edit and then Find.
Where you see Find What, type in:
image.dll
Click Find Next.
You'll see a window that says "Searching the Registry".
This will stop on each instance of image.dll when found. Just right
click and delete.
Hit F3 on the keyboard to continue searching the rest of the registry
and delete all of the image.dll references it comes up with.
(delete next instance, hit F3 again, etc...to continue searching and
finding - then deleting)
When finished...you'll see the message, Finished Searching the
Registry. Close it out.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to create a restore point before you go editing in
the registry.
Also...Download and install AdAware (free) or Spybot S&D to look for
spyware on your system. You'll need to download the reference files
regularly as you would with an anti-virus program, but run one or both
of these about once a week or more to get rid of the spyware getting
onto your system. Also, be sure to always keep your anti-virus
definitions up-to-date."
Good luck
