[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Using XP...No recent changes other than avast cleanups and defrag, scan. Now
I get two messages on startup. "dll missing" and "msg missing" Doesn't state
which dll.

Any help?

Another option is do some clan boot troubleshooting:

Hi Dean

If you don't which .DLL file is missing, try the following command from
Start>Run

sfc /scannow

to check that all the system files are still intact. You need to have your
XP CD to hand.

Tried that just now. Didn't fix the problem. Also...the window states "dll
not found" "other window "msg not found".....not "missing as I previously
stated. This is on startup only.

Hi

Is there any reference to the file in msconfig>startup? If so, uncheck it
and reboot your system. Without knowing the name of the .DLL file or the
program that calls it, a solution may be difficult.
