mcastmib32.dll on startup and cannot find the cause!

My HP Windows XP based computer is coming up with the error message "the application or DLL is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette. »

It started all of a sudden and I have run several antivirus programs, but cannot get rid of it at startup!

Googling this file name, it appears that it is a kind of malware, so depending on what "several antivirus programs", you have run, I'm sure you do:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run.  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

The scans by operating clean, if you still have the problem, we can solve it.

In 1985, there were 11 known computer viruses.  Today, there is more to 1, 122, 311 and the new threats are detected every day.  Always update your virus definitions before running a scan.

  • Strange behavior of startup and cannot access the tools-> options menu

    Since this morning my LV8 installation does not display the normal startup dialog box (allowing you to open the existing screws or open a new one), but doesn't that immediately opens a new VI.  If I close this new NC and then instead of back to the Startup dialog box it opens a second new (empty) VI.    Furthermore, I can't open the tools-> option menu from a façade of VI.

    I tried to repair the installation of the LV and when that does not work I went for a complete deletion and don't reinstall - still no joy!

    I also check that it is not user specific, so that when I login as a different user on the same PC, I get the same behavior

    Help - please!

    Hi AMHurrel,

    This seems quite strange.

    Have you changed anything on your installation?

    When you say you did a complete removal and reinstall, how?

    Here are the steps I follow:

    The following procedure removes the software Instrument National:

    1. turn off the computer and physically remove or disconnect all devices that you have installed on your system.
    This includes everything-PCI, ISA, USB, 1394-, or based on ethernet.

    2 turn on the computer and go through Add/Remove Programs (START"SETTINGS" control PANEL"Add/Remove Programs)
    and remove all OR related. As a general rule, if you remember, it is best to uninstall things in
    the reverse order in which they were installed. For example, if you installed LabVIEW, then NOR-DAQ, then the
    Internet developers Toolkit for LabVIEW, you must uninstall the Internet firstly, developers kit
    NOR-DAQ, then last LabVIEW.

    3. once everything has been deleted (don't be concerned at this stage if an item still appears in the)
    Ajouter/suppression of programs list after you remove it), close all programs and restart your computer.

    4. go to the START button in your operating system, choose RUN and type 'regedit '. This will open up the registry
    The Editor window. Go to the registry Menu and choose Export registry file. Select 'All' to the export range,
    and select a file name. This creates a backup of the registry in case a mistake is made when you remove the key.

    5. remove the following components of the registry in the Windows registry:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments remove the entire tree!
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments remove the entire tree!
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\ or \ISA and remove registry entries containing one
    keys with 1093 in them.
       
    Don't worry if one of these trees are not listed. Continue with the rest of the process.

    Note: You may need to change the security policies. In Windows 2000, 98, 95, NT, go to [regedt32] then
    Security > permissions. In Windows XP, you can change the security using Edit options > permissions in the
    Publisher of the registry (regedit).

    6. close regedit.

    7. make sure that you don't have your own screws or other files in the "C:\VXIpnp."
    "C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments", or "C:\WINDOWS\nidaq" folders. If you do, copy them to a
    different location. If you are concerned about preserving old virtual tracks and your SCXI configuration.
    then save the file "C:\WINDOWS\niconfig.daq", too. Delete all folders and files mentioned above.

    Note: If you have Windows NT/2000, replace 'C:\Windows' with 'C:\WINNT' in the path listed above.

    8. save the attached file msiBlast.zip to your desktop.

    (a) extract the msiBlast.exe file from zip archive.
    (b) double click the downloaded msiBlast.exe file to run the executable.
    (c) choose the selection show only installers of NOR.

    (d) using select (Ctrl + left mouse click) of all National Instruments software that appears in MSIBlast.
    (e) press the button uninstall. This allows to uninstall all entries in register MSI of National Instruments.

    (f) Optional:
    The repair option will open the installer of National instruments and run the option fix in the installer.

    Maintenance mode will open the installer and allow the user to change the installation. To open the installation program indicate nothing in command line Arg? Dialog box.

    9. restart your computer.

    10. you should be ready to install your software. For the cleanest possible installation, first install all of your
    software application, such as LabVIEW, Measurement Studio development, etc. Perform a custom installation so that you can
    Install just the request WITHOUT DRIVERS EVERYTHING. Restart your PC after each installation request.
    Even if the installation program does not tell you to restart, it would probably be a good idea to do it anyway.
    Now install the software driver and follow the associated user manuals. Some older non-Plug-and-Play hardware
    must be installed before the pilot. Download the latest versions of the drivers that support your hardware
    She draws from our drivers and software updates (link below) and install them one by one, reset after each
    install.

    11. Lastly, stop and re - install your hardware. When you start back, he must be detected in MAX.

    You get an error message?

  • I am new to windows 8 and cannot find the list of programs

    My old computer died and I bought a Samsung laptop with Windows 8. I can't find a list of programs that I use with Windows Vista, which I could access at the bottom left of the screen. Actually how to access all the information that could be in this place? So far the only place I could even find a list of programs in the control panel and all you can do is uninstall/change. Of course, I would appreciate the help. Windows 8 leaves much to be desired.

    You can download a free start ordinarysoft.com button and you can install it on your PC. You will have a similar to Windows 7 start button, or you can have a windows start button 8 modern research. Escape metro on start up screen and will be directly log on your desktop. When you click the Start button, you'll find all applications here as you find in other editions of windows.

    Hope it will work for you.

  • ThinkPad Edge 14 Bluescreen - cannot find the cause

    Hello

    I have my new Thinkpad Edge 14 about 2 weeks ago! It worked very well for a few days and then all of a sudden blue screen appeared and he did it again! I'm not sure that it is connected or not, but the day before I upgraded to Windows 7 with the latest patches and updates!

    After the first blue screen, it began to restart or show the blue screen every few minutes. I also got bluescreen in safe mode.

    I tried to restore to before the update of the points but it did not help at all. Then I tried to use the restore to factory setting by pressing F11 and he tried to reinstall windows, but windows didn't even for the first time and it freezes! No I can not even access windows or use restore factory. I called the customer service and the guy told me to run software from Lenovo's diagnosis I did but he could not find any error with disk hard Ram ro!

    I really don't know what to do next...

    Awesome!

    Try to stay away from the unit updated driver provided by Windows, install only the updates of security. Looks like it was a MS update device driver that caused it.
