Error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\bridge.dll

Greetings,
I post here today in hopes that someone might be able to help me fix my computer.

Initial search: Ad-Aware
Problem: (1) At start-up, I receive an error message stating that there was an "error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\bridge.dll". This does not occur in Safe Mode. (2) Certain web sites will not load correctly; they either do not load at all or the pages load in an incorrect manner. This also does not occur in Safe Mode. (I am not completely sure if either of these are related to each other, but both started occurring around the same time.)

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Reboot, and delete the ENTIRE contents of the C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp folder.

The folder may have the 'hidden' attribute, so make sure that in Folder Options hidden files and folders are set to show.

Then post a fresh log.

again, thanks for taking the time to share your intelligence with me.

 

It's a clean log; you shouldn't be getting that bridge.dll error message any more.

The second problem you're experiencing is unrelated, and very often simply a Cache issue.

Go to Internet Options > General tab, Temp. Internet Files and press 'delete files'.

Back up your cookies ( IE > File > Import and Export > Export cookies), then press 'delete cookies' as well.

Now try again.

If no change, log in as administrator and delete your Docs and Settings\YourUserName\Local Settings\Temp. Internet Files folder ( you NEED to be logged in as Admin, or you won't be able to! )

Keep us posted on how that goes.
