I am running Win 7 Pro.  On startup, I get a msg of error DLL RUN as follows: 'there was a problem starting C:\ProgramData\ctfmdctr64.dll.  The specified module could not be found. »

The error msg box provides an OK button. After clicking this button, everything seems to work well.

FYI, I use AVG Virus Protection program. I did a system restore to a date before when I think that this problem started. No luck there.

I suspect some malicious programs hiding somewhere and part of it may have been removed by AVG, but not all.  Anyone know what program calls for this file? How can I get rid of this problem?   Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you.  f* address email is removed from the privacy *

Disabled under msconfig.exe startup items are moved to this location in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Tools\MSConfig
To permanently delete, you can delete the key relevant to this place. Method of the prudent man will like so:
  1. Burn a CD of Windows repair. Everyone who makes his own PC must have a maintenance.
  2. Create a System Restore Point.
  3. Start the computer with the CD in repair and check if the above Restore Point is visible.
  4. Start normally.
  5. Remove the offending registry key.

    Is this a Firefox problem?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    You get an error at startup.  It can be difficult when something that is important to you does not work as expected. It's pretty simple and we're here to help you solve the problem. We work as a team and get this sorted out.

    Please answer these questions-

    (1) that you get an error code?

    (2) did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    I would like more information about the issue.

    Method 1-

    Step 1-

    You should check if the problem occurs in Mode without failure.

    See the article-

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Note: Make sure you connect in Normal Mode after all the troubleshooting steps.

    Proceed to step 2, if the problem does not occur in Mode without failure.

    Step 2-

    I recommend you to perform a clean boot.

    Placing the computer in a boot minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must perform the steps in the article-

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: You must follow the step 3 of the article to return the computer to a Normal startup after you perform all the troubleshooting steps.

    Check if the problem persists.

    Method 2-

    I would have you scan a System File Checker to verify violations of integrity.

    See the article-

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • MSG for error in Windows 7: "unable to load DLL 'Gpib - 32.dll': the specified module could not be found."

    Hi people, I have a project in VB. NET (VS2010 specifically), which has been updated from an old VB6 project. The old project

    use Niglobal.bas and Vbib - 32.bas to communicate with the GPIB plugged into one of our litters.
    Now in the 64-bit Win7 with the Niglobal.bas and the Vbib - 32.bas converted to Niglobal.vb and Vbib - 32.vb,.

    I get an error when debugging to

    Public void RegisterGPIBGlobals()

    in the Vbib - 32.vb, the error msg says:

    Unable to load DLL 'Gpib - 32.dll': the specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

    It seems like this Gpib - 32.dll, that I found under SysWOW64 on my Win7 is not designed for a 64-bit application and when I copy this dll file on

    C:\Windows\System32, the msg of error becomes:

    An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)

    So I think my question is double: 1. the drafting of my own app in VB. NET can I still use Gpib - 32.dll (including the Niglobal.vb and Vbib - 32.vb)?

    2 Will the application I am writing with .NET work in x 64 Windows 7?

    The Almighty gurus and Mods please help. Thank you!

    Hi Joel, thanks for the answer! I have the 3.0.2 driver.

    I was looking around for a while after I posted here and further in the use of NI4882 manual, page 4-4, I found this:

    «To bring an application in an environment 64-bit requires the application to migrate the NI4882 API and be recompiled.»

    So I'm ditching the gpib - 32.dll (vbib - 32 & niglobal) and currently I am using NI4882.dll and restructuring of my project.

  • As that I start my computer I get the error message "Rundll: error loading C:\windows\idoroyuyevev.dll the specified module could not be found." How should I do?

    Original title: Rundll error help

    As that I start my computer I get the error message "Rundll: error loading C:\windows\idoroyuyevev.dll the specified module could not be found." -What it means and how to fix it?

    It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.
    I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.  If you do not have a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, the chances are good that your system is currently or has been infected by malware.
    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

    You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry
    . There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can just turn it off, restart and if the problem is resolved and things are functioning normally and everything works fine, then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.

    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
