Hi Daniel,
I have just removed some spyware/adware that every time I started Windows it
would reset my IE homepage. Now every time I log on I am getting a error
message saying image.dll cannot be loaded. I think this was linked but
cannot find where it is coming from any help??

It appears you may have picked up a trojan.
You can do the following:
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."
Good luck, hope this helps.
