Hi,

When booting up my Windows XP Pro pc, I've recently started getting an error on the desktop stating "RUNDLL.....Error loading C:\WINNT\image.dll.....The specific module could not be found......OK" Any help in eliminating this problem would be appreciated.

A poster suggested this:
"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. Closeit out.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to create a restore point before you go editing
in theregistry.

Also...Download and install AdAware (free) or Spybot S&D to look
for spyware on your system."

Good luck
