Since the removel of msg121.dll

Hi it is me again,
Since I got rid of this msg.dll my comp has been acting up. I just removed norton and tried to put kaspersky antivirus, I had problem with that. So I deleted that also and tried McAFee and that works so so. It takes a long time to load and sometimes my whole comp freezes. Also I get a message saying Generic Host Process for win32 has encounted a problem and needs to close. Also the comp has been rebooting on its own. I am thinking it is due to that error when I boot up. Whats funny is it lets me aty on the comp for a while before it reboots. I did also put this on the other antivirus forum but that is when I thought maybe it was just McAffee antivirus doing it. Just wanted to know if u could help me or know any websites that can. Has anyone else encountered this?

Also what ever it is it doesn't do it in safe mode. I also virus scanned in safe mood and adware scaned in safe mood and got nothing.

Thanks again in advance
Storm

 

Hi Storm7z7z,

Post a fresh HJT log so we can check and see if anything has changed since when your problem was fixed before.

I really haven't been having the best of luck with my comp lately. I mean no problem in 2 years and now here they come . Also now when I play my game the sound dont work right when before it was fine. So something is up but dont know what .

 

Hi Storm,

Nothing stands out in your log as it looks clean to me. One of the Experts should be around in 4 or 5 hours and I will have one of them look at it, just check back.

Sorry I could not have been of more help.

Regards,
Kent

 

Oh no problem kent,
You cant help with everything. It has someting to do with that message coming up I believe. Well I might see if I can find a fix while waiting. It really bugs me when my comp isn't doing the right thing hehe.
Well thanks again pal.

 

Hi storm,

Here is something you can try....

Download McAfee AVERT Stinger and run. If necessary, click the Add or Browse button to add additional drives/directories to scan. By default the C: drive will be scanned. Click the Scan Now button to begin scanning the specified drives/directories.

If it finds anything and fixes it, reboot.

Then put your Xp disc in the cd rom and then click Start > Run and type the exact command:

sfc /scannow

Make sure there is a space between the sfc and /scannow.

After it finishes, reboot and see if this helped any.....

Regards,
Kent

 

Well I am doing that right now. It seems it probably is a windows problem more then a virus or spyware. What is funny is im in safe mode and I can work fine. Maybe I should just uninstall the McAfee but I dont want norton on my system because I really dont like it.

 

Hi kent,
Nope that came up clean. Should I do that windows xp thing if that was clean?

 

Hi Storm,

Yes, do it also. That will check for missing, altered, or corrupt windows files and fix them.

Regards,
Kent

 

Kent,
That didn't seem to work at all. I seen like a quick window flash and that was it.

 

Hi Storm,

Were you trying it in safe mode or regular. I know that on my system I have to run it in regular mode as it will not work in safe mode.

Regards,
Kent

 

Yup was in safe mode. Hope i can actually use it in regular. I end up not able to click anything.

 

Nope I cant do anything when I boot up in regular mode . This is real frustrating now! Im going to bed for now thanks kent for your help.

 

Hi Kent,
Just wanted to tell you I fixed the problem. Still dont know what was making it freeze. I just pressed F8 on reboot and did last known good configuration. I really forgot that was in there and wish I used it sooner. Then just needed to install security updates again and my display drivers. Thanks for the help the last couple of days.

 

Hi Storm,

Good to hear you have it fixed now, good work....

Regards,
Kent
