RunDLL missing entry (multiple)

[waltanheri]

What is weird, (I mean weird for me) is that for the first time first time I am getting more and more this kind of errors. Couple of times they were just several, but now their number has grown up to ~400 (!) They all are the same, except the digits between c00 and .mat change. I know that antiviruss sometimes deletes some files, that causes this kind of problem, but know it's just out of control. What should I do?

Run sfc/scannow

Hi walthenri,

Try sfc, like Airbot says - you may find it easier to use this - click the Repair system files

If that isn't able to do the job, you could do Repair install , if you have the proper dvd - (not a manufacturer "recovery" disc )

A scan with the free MBAM is worth doing - you never know

Malwarebytes.org.

Hope it helps

So, nothing changed, although I tried sfc (It didn't find any problems) and MBAM (It did find 2 trojans) Maybe because I ran them in safe mode? (I have to wait like a half an hour till all of the error logs have shown. I can't really do anything, because my system is overloaded)
Or perhaps repair install is the only way to gat rid of this problem?

I would try the Repair install if it were me - doesn't take long.

ok, I just want to make sure I have the right DVD to do Repair install.
I have a recovery DVD (Windows Vista recover media for windows vista products 32-bit), that came within a sealed packing and the text on it says:
"The software included on this Recovery DVD was preinstalled
on your hard drive at the factory and may only be used
for backup and recovery of your ASUS computer system.

I don't have any other recovery DVD that came along with my PC when I bought it.

Will you or will you not tell me whether I have the right dvd or not? I have to know what to do next.

That's not the right disc to do a repair installation like the tutorial states. It will just do a clean install, wiping whatever you have on the computer and restoring it to factory condition. You can do that with that recovery disc but if you wanted to save your files/settings you'd have to have an installation disc not just a recovery disc.

Hi Walt,

Like I said in my earlier post, sorry to say, you can't do a Repair install with a recovery dvd.

If that is all the manufacturer has provided, it will restore to the condition you received it in. All your programs and data will be gone.

You would need to back up all your data and program setup files beforehand. Do the restore, then reinstall your apps. and transfer back your data.

When you have done that, you may like to make your own image , including your apps and data - to restore if needed. You can make another every now and again to keep it up to date.

You need to store the image till needed - another partition can be used, but it's safer to use an external HD or even split it across a couple of recordable dvd's.

The free version of this program may be all you need to do that:

Macrium Reflect Free Edition - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

Hope it helps
