security center in xp

My xp does not detect Nod32 any more (like others here) and it does not detect other AV's either.
Googling showed up an issue that seems to revole around framedyn.dll
The library might be missing or the Windows Path environment variable may be at fault.
The fixes seemed to get hit and miss (try this, then that)
Any gurus here about to advise?

 

Hello . This has already been discussed here

 

Yes it has been discussed but not resolved in all cases.
What I found were links refering to SB S & D, other anti-spyware, pdf creators, printers, quicktime and AV's.
Re-applying SP2 would reset (I think) the Path environment variable.
But then you would have to re-apply patches that came after SP2

I think I will experiment with some of the tips & trick that I found, maybe

 

What about post 13 in the link I gave you before anything else ?

 

The only known solution is to reinstall Windows Service Pack 2; this is an issue with Windows, not NOD32.

Cheers

Yes it is an issue with windows.

HiTech_boy
I did and now I have (via my place of work, they pay yearly)

Referred to KB 319114
My framedyn is in correct place (maybe corrupt) but my path is incorrect.
Should be %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\wbem
But is %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;

Some people have found that even if the path is correct, cutting and pasting the correct path back in has helped
Others have had the uppercase w (W) in wbem as I have and by changing case has solved their problem
The semi-colon at the end of 'my' string indicates that an application has in the past added a string and when uninstalled left the semi-colon behind.

As far as AV's go there are several mentions of the above tips & tricks that have solved the Security Center issue.

The above is the only reason I posted as I turned off MS notification a long time ago, being quite happy that NOD was working.

In actuality I was searching for a fix for my pdf creation tool that complained about framedyn.dll being missing when I noticed the Security Center + AV comments.

Being Windows of course it will probably have nothing to do with my problem.

 

Ta-Da

 

Sorry I did not complete my last post, but dinner called
It was framedyn, sort of, but definitely Windows.
I would not hack about without finding a logical reason for the hacks working and being b****y minded I kept searching until I found it. Hence my above.

Security Centre and pdf creation now works as does 'ping'

Perhaps this might help someone else who has been tearing their hair out like me.

 

I am glad you managed to fix this problem
