On a few occations the company tech desides to attempt to answer questions regarding this matter but the answers provided do not work for very clear reasons.

I was wondering if you have had the chance to hear weather or not there will be a law suit regarding this matter. If there is please contact me ASAP. Seeing as I have had some expensive equipment destroyed as a result of this problem. Please if you wish to use this comment on the fourm please do. The MS Company should pay for or replace all damaged equipment due to this matter. I just found out I had the same problem on my pc.

How I found this was I was trying to do a system restore, and no matter what date I chose, it would not restore. Someone from MS emailed and said to try to run system restore in safe mode. While in safe mode, it gave me the option of logging into Windows XP Home Edition or regular Windows, When I tried to log on to the XP version, I got that same dratted error message about that stupid dll file!!

Logging into regular windows, no problem and I was able to do the system restore. Other than that, I am able to shut down the computer and restart. I have emailed MS again the same rep who helped with the system restore and I will write back to tell what she says about this file.

I have the same problem as above except I have by recover disks. Friday, April 20, PM. Sunday, April 22, AM. I just had the same thing happen after losing a hard drive and getting it replaced then downloaded updates 70 of them of which 53 failed, asked for a restart and then got the message, does not look like anyone has a answer yet.

Friday, May 18, PM. I have just had this happen after trying to install a driver to synchronise my mobile to my pc, then restarting. I've tried using the recovery discs but no joy. Any thoughts or ideas? Sunday, May 20, AM. I am also trying to find the link to orders the disks from Dell.

Thank you very much. I have requested the disks. Do you think I will be able to do a repair option? I am hoping I do not lose what is on my hard drive photos, music etc. Hi David45, If you have to use the disc to reinstall your OP, then you will lose everything. However, when you get the disc, try and do a repair option by booting into the reinstall disc, then when the option comes up, select to repair.

If that works, then you will save all your photos etc. But you should do regular backup's of your private data in the event of a crash.

I now have the disc to do a repair. It is asking for a admin password, that I do not know. Any ideas how to get around this? Thanks in advance.

I am just haveing a admin passward issue. Browse Community.
