where am I going to install a missing rundll file called damste.dll file

When I connect I get a RUNDLL error message.  Can I download the missing file?

Forget McAfee.  The uninstall if you have already installed.

Pay attention to the advice of TechGeek2.  Your computer is infected.

Download, install, update and run them both

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
SUPERAntiSpyware

You get the error message is the result of some anti-malware application you currently part of malware removed, but leaving behind the registry entry that tries to launch the malware at startup.  If the scans MBAM and SAS cannot find the registry entry (and they might miss, now that the offending dll disappeared), download and run Autoruns.

Completion of the analysis of Autoruns, click on the "Connection" tab and look in the column 'image path' for the dll as the message complains.  Remove the entry (if you don't know that it is malware), or uncheck it (which will turn off but allow you to reactivate if you 'chose unwisely").

  • I can't boot after installing the latest win xp updated system - missing or damaged/system32 hal.dll

    I have win xp and that you have installed the latest updates 7 system - now I can't start.

    I get the message:

    Windows didn't start because what follows is missing or corrupted /system32/hal.dll

    I don't have a CD system - which can do? everything I read said to alter, copy, etc., but since I cannot start, I can't do it all.

    Help me please, thanks

    XP trying to tell you that it cannot find the file.  It is extremely likely that the hal.dll file is really missing or damaged (XP just cannot find it).

    You should not have the Windows XP installation CD for this problem.

    It is very unlikely that the manufacturer will be able to you provide a XP installation CD, but contact them if you wish.

    What would you do if YOU were the manufacturer?  Communicate with yourself?

    The instructions in this link to replace the hal.dll file are bad, bad, bad.  If you follow them, you will need to replace the hal.dll file, but it will not be the correct hal.dll file.  There are 7 possible hal.dlls on the Windows XP CD, and check out the generic hal.dll file won't be one you need unless you run a virtual machine.  Clearly, the technical support engineers have never actually solved this problem.

    Notice that the thread is not marked as 'response' by the original poster, but by a moderator of the Forum after a period of 5 to 10 days of inactivity where some MSE posted a link to a few articles in the KB (this is how things work here).

    You should start by making a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r first just to be sure of the file system NTFS is not damaged.  Then see if you can start after that (maybe it won't).

    THEN, you must use the Recovery Console to rebuild your boot.ini file.  I would like to rename the file c:\boot.ini first then you don't rebuild on top of the afflicted (this part is missing from the article).

    I can't understand why Microsoft support engineers seem unable to display instructions to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton and Spybot.
    AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Here's how to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    If you still have the same problem (likely), then the value rebuild your file c:\boot.ini as article says here:

    Hello

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools then system restore should be visible.

    Also, a lot of PC brand have a restore option of the system via F8 at startup, and then click "fix." Useful if you cannot start Windows successfully.

    Also you can click on start and then just type rstrui.exe and press ENTER.

    Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.
