I Downloaded And Unzipped A File Called Msvcr71.dll From A Website. Should I Keep It?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Since extracting MSVCR71.dll and putting it on this pc I notice a weird change when I sign out of my yahoo mail account. It shows up in “red” with the message: “You’ve signed out of Yahoo” and this never occurred before..
Is this a malicious Registry entry?

Should I Download This For My Laptop? (toshiba A505 S6960)?

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Last night the blue screen of death appeared on my computer screen and I wrote down the error code. I called Toshiba support center and they told me to turn the computer off restart and continue to press f8 and click on last boot configuration or something like that. The computer works fine now. However the woman I spoke to said that she doesn’t know why my computer crashed in the first place. So I called the IT help desk at my university and gave them the error code. They told me it meant there was a problem with the network drivers and I should install an update I did as told and received the message that my computer already had the best possible software installed and so the helper told me that there must be a problem with the actual wi-fi card and that I would need to send the laptop in to either best buy’s geek squad or toshiba. I live on campus with no car and best buy is far away, classes start wed. so I don’t have time to send it into toshiba and wait for it to get back. I can’t afford to be without a laptop, anyways I went onto Toshiba’s support website typed in the make/model: Satellite A505-S6960 and found a support bulletin titled: Wi-Fi data transfer may stop temporarily, “Copy File” error message. It basically said to download this Atheros wireless LAN driver thing. Here’s the link to the bulletin:

I really don’t want to download this and get even more problems so if someone could read the bulletin and tell me whether or not this will solve my problem that would be helpful. Also, the error code I got on the blue screen of death was 0×000000d1 NETw5v64.sys if that will help.

Should I Repair Windows Xp Or Reinstall It After A Rundll32.exe Error?

Friday, January 29th, 2010

I was infected by rogue spyware, thankfully I managed to get it off by un-registering the dddesot.dll file. But because I did it manually, I did critical damage to my system. Note: next time I’ll just buy Spy Doctor.
I’m required to open programs from Program Files whenever I execute an application. I cannot uninstall any programs nor install programs either. It’s become a real problem, and I plan to fix it immediately.
I just don’t know whether I should repair my OS(WinXP Home Edition) or just reinstall the whole thing. If I should repair it, how should I do that and will it format my drive?
Note: I have arranged to backup my data.

What Should I To Stop Create The Automatic Create Of Dll Files?

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Please explain your question in greater detail.
What program automatically creates DLLs?

What Program Should I Use To Create Dll Files?

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

DLL files? I don’t think that you really know what you are getting into. You would create Dynamic Link Librariy files from Visual Basic, Visual Studio, C++ or other programming environment.
But if you do understand what I just told you, you’d already know the answer.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

Received A Lsass.exe System Error On Boot, But Machine Now Booted. What Should I Do Before Re-boot?

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

For a couple of days I was receiving the following error on my XP Pro laptop when I would try to boot the machine:
“lsass.exe System Error
An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed irrecoverably. The registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system’s image of the registry.”
I could not boot the machine even in safe mode. Norton GoBack was installed and when I finally disabled it at the boot screen, I was able to boot the machine.
Is there anything I should do to avoid this error in the future before shutting the machine down? Windows had installed the indexing service and my drive space is now down to 4.4GB (7%).
The only other clue is that Windows explorer locks up alot. I have done a thorough SpinRite analysis of the drive and it all checks out good.
Just want to do anything else that might avoid the problem again (or be prepared for it) before I shut the machine down.
Thanks.
