  • How can I fix run dll missing at startup

    c:\users\walt\appdata\local\temp\rqrrrp.dll

    Next time please quote the error message exactly. I can't tell from your post if the error indicates that this file is missing or if it is said that there is a problem with the file, etc. This is important.

    In all cases, it is a malicious program file. If you get the message that this file is missing, or you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup.

    Because you had a piece of malware (or if the message is something other that the file is missing), the chances are too high you had others and you need to analyze. I recommend to download and install MalwareBytes' anti-malware (MBAM) fromhttp://www.malwarebytes.org . The program is free. (There is a paid version, but you don't need to buy it to remove the malware). For the more detailed procedure, seehttp://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    Manage startup (be sure to make the malware analysis first!):

    Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Usually in Vista/Win7 it will be blocked by Windows Defender and you will need to enable it to run so that you can check the box that says, 'don't mind not on this topic again.

  • How can I fix error d3d9.dll

    How can I fix the error d3d9.dll

    Hi Antony,

    1. when exactly did you D3D9. DLL error?

    2 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

    3. what version of Windows is installed on your computer?

    D3d9.dll problems result in one way or another by a problem with Microsoft DirectX.

    The file d3d9.dll and d3d10_1.dll is one of many files in the DirectX software collection. Because DirectX is used by most Windows-based games and graphics programs advancements, d3d9.dll errors usually only appear when you use these programs.

    Important note: Do not download the file d3d9.dll individually any "DLL download site."

    Note: If you have already downloaded the d3d9.dll in these places to download DLL, remove it from everywhere where put you it and continue with the following steps.

    Step 1:

    Restart your computer if you have not yet.

    D3d9.dll error may be a stroke of luck and a simple restart could clear up completely.

    Note: the latest version of DirectX should be installed no matter if you are on Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP. Installation can include DirectX9 and DirectX10 files but they run side-by-side without problem on all these operating systems.

    Step 2:

    Install the update from the link below and check if the problem is resolved.

    End-user Runtime Web install DirectX
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=2da43d38-DB71-4C1B-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

    Step 3:

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.
     
    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
     
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 
     
    Note: after a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Step 4:

    System File Checker Scan SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.
