• Computer HP laptop windows didn't load because the HAL is missing or corrupt

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6605us

  Windows Vista

  Error message I get is:

  File: \Windows\System32\hal.dll

  Status: 0xc000000f

  Info: Windows could not load because the HAL is missing or corrupt

  The changes that I do is I did a clean install of Linux deleting all partitions including the HP recovery partition.

  Now that I have to go back to Windows, I used the recovery disks that I did when I bought the laptop. It took about 24 hours to completely install, then I got this error message when you restart.

  Help, please

  Best thing to do is to nuke the drive,then reinstall Vista again.

  I know it's a long process, but you should get back to run.

  Linux makes strange recovery partitions does not understand and they are deleted correctly, boot and nuke will take care of it.

• XP to start, get the message "Windows cannot find C:\WINDOWS\System32\Tools\DelFoders.exe".

  Turn off System Restore. Use ccleaner and then go to tools/startup. Select it and click on delete. Are you sure its not the windows folder drivers? If its in the windows folder, is a worm/trojan. Looks like it belongs to the trojan.agent so sound in the drivers folder

  Hi ronreyna,

  Try the following steps:

  Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 ---> how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  (Note: after find you the problem causing the program, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup)

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The SFC utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

  You can still run a sfc on the windows vista computer scan. To run a scan suite sfc as follows:

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

  All the best!

• application or the C:\windows\system32\odbcint.dll dll is not a valid windows image

  Hi everyone, my fathers laptop crashed yesterday and since then he was able to start and the following message appears

  application or the C:\windows\system32\odbcint.dll dll is not a valid windows image

  something appears then it restarts. I did some occasional checking of this problem, as believe that he may be able to replace the file with its installation in recovery mode disc, although neither nor I did before can someone provide some support on what to do, ideally if we can get into windows and get the docs off the laptop computer he is happy the new facility because I think that it maybe Basic virus/malware issue.

  Thank you for your time and help in advance

  If the c:\windows\system32\odbcint.dll file is missing, you see a message like this:

  User Interface failure
  The logon User Interface DLL msgina.dll failed to load.
  Contact your system administrator to replace the DLL or restore the original DLL.

  There is a button to click to restart, which when clicked, takes a while to reboot the system.

  If the c:\windows\system32\odbcint.dll file is corrupted, you will see a message like this:

  Winlogon.exe - bad Image
  The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\odbcint.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.

  By clicking OK twice, you will see the message above about the failure of User Interface.

  There will be events in the case where the viewing Application log that look like this:

  Event type: error
  Event source: ODBC
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 0
  Description:
  Cannot find the description for event ID (0) in Source (ODBC). The local computer may not have the information necessary registry or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the option/auxsource = flag to retrieve this description; For more information, see Help and Support. The following information is part of the event: unable to load the resource DLL odbcint.dll.

  You should figure out what happened to get into this situation and respond to the following questions, then decide which is the best plan:

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

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

  The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

  Did the problem to the top after show installed new software and if so, what software?

  You have recently installed any type of remote control software?

  Now to fix it depends on how you are fixed to the boot media, since you'll have to start on something.

  We know that XP likes to keep the backup copies of critical system files in this folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Knowing this, start in Recovery Console XP using your genuine XP bootable installation CD or if you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can make one (no XP media required).  If you don't know what type of bootable media, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

  If Yes, you want and are not in possession of a genuine XP bootable installation CD or a CD from Recovery Console XP bootable, the instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console can / will be provided before any questioning begins.

  You can replace the missing file or suspect the XP Recovery Console by entering the following command:

  Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\odbcint.dll c:\windows\system32

  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

  If you get some type of a file not found message, the file is easily replaced using other methods.

  Remove the CD and type "exit" at the Recovery Console prompt to restart the system.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• After download of Internet Explorer 8 I can't open all the icons in the control panel. On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  Yesterday, I downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 web from Microsoft Download Center.

  After downloading Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, I can't open any icons in the control panel.

  On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

  Help, please. Thanks Gene.

  Thanks Gene.

  Dear: :

  Running sfc/scannow will not replace the missing rundll32.exe file.

  Why you post methods that do not work and will be just wasting time?

  Hove you never even seen this problem before, tried to recreate it so that you can actually see, or have you never really fixed?

  Why you learn not what sfc/scannow does and does not do?

  Here is a simple test to you and all your colleagues in the technical support engineer:

  Rename or delete just your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe file is "missing".

  Rename rundll32.exe---> rundll32.xxx

  If you started normally, before you can blink, the 'missing' rundll32.exe file quickly and quietly replace the copy in the dllcache folder.  It is the Protection of Windows file in action and you will see something like this in the Event Viewer log system:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Windows File Protection
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 64002
  Description:
  File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512.

  I beg you to perform this simple test to know how the sfc/scannow:

  Boot your system to Safe Mode or the recovery for the Windows File Protection Console does not run.

  For this example, we will use the system critical file rundll32.exe.

  Rename or delete your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.exe file so the file is now "missing."

  A critical file, is it true?  It is on the list of the file 3498 knows the Protection of Windows and SFC files, but now he isn't.

  If Windows File Protection is running, the "missing" file would be quickly and silently replaced (try to rename or delete it in normal mode and it will be quickly and quietly replaced).

  Now, with your file rundll32.exe missing, start in Normal mode and try to use something like control panel to open something like Power Options and you'll see that familiar message:

  Control Panel
  Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

  Now you have recreated a common problem with the missing file and seen the error of our own eyes.  A Microsoft Support Engineer will usually suggest running sfc/scannow for this kind of problem, but it will not work or help and you can prove it to yourself, and now you have reproduced the error.

  You follow own advice and run sfc/scannow to the end.

  The rundll32.exe is always had disappeared, right?  Did run sfc/scannow replace the missing critical system file?

  How can he be so sfc/scannow is supposed to replace the missing system files?  This is because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

  Now you know sfc/scannow does not.  He did not replace your missing system file (don't forget to put your rundll32.exe back so you will have a).

  Now, go to c:\windows\system32\dllcache and delete or rename the file rundll32.exe from there - and it will be gone and not replaced automatically because the Windows File Protection does not seem after this record.

  Run sfc/scannow in full again.

  Replace the file rundll32.exe missing in the dllcache folder, since it handles missing files (not the system32 folder) IS the folder that sfc/scannow.

  Now you know sfc/scannow does.

  Do you need help to know too much about the corrupt system files?

  Since most people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, they will not be able to develop a copy of the file that is missing from the installation CD, they have not.

  After some directions on how to replace the file when the user has no XP bootable installation CD authentic and that will be useful to all.

  If you don't know how to say "I don't know how" and I'll help you.

  You want to inform/warn the poster that SP3 is installed that running sfc/scannow will take a long time for the installation of SP3 CD?

  If you do not have a CD with the same Service Pack as your installation (most people don't), the posters are in for a rough and frustrating time.

  Of course this will help with the detachment of the Ministry of Education of the impossible to try things that don't work, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the 100th time.

• C:\Windows\System32\wbem\unsecapp.exe

  Well, I have an Acer Aspire with Vista sp2 32-bit Timeline. It is a rental until I get my return on the funds of the school. As we are praising this computer, they have installed some sort of Microsoft program which allows them to control the computer remotely, or what they say. This has been a recent addition to their computers and until there was nothing but complaints about the features of the comps since.  We have tried to locate the program in the menu to uninstall without a bit of luck. We found a few things in the process, the C:\Windows\System32\wbem\unsecapp.exe being what we thought likely. Users and administrators have virtually no permission for the use, but someone or something called trusted Installer has ALL the capabilities. Could you please tell us exactly what it is and what its for. We just want the computer to run right and figure if we find that it IS the program in question, we can kill the process and enjoy the best performance of the PC. Regardless of the program, you cannot even make a backup by default from the computer, although he keeps trying. Please help us. Just don't feel like waiting for four additional months to pay, as its problems causing with feature and it's a computer at school.  Thank you guys.

• Rstrui.exe - bad Image of the application or DLL C:\Windows\System32\Wbem\Framedyn.dll is not a valid windows image. AND the exe task manager. -Bad guess. The application or DLL C:\Windows\System32\VDMDBG. DLL is not a valid windows image.

  I use WIndows XP.  After that THINKPOINT is presented on my system, I have not been able to access my task manager or restore my system to an earlier date.

  I have checked Kellys Korner and various other suggestions on the internet, but have had no luck with anything.

  It shows that the HKEY value for the Task Manager is set to 0.  Don't know if that helps.

  I BELIEVE I have the THINK POINT removed from my system.  I use Microsoft Security, Ad-Ware and Malwarebytes Anti - Malware.  Between the 3, it seems I have everything.

  But now I can not restore my system, or use my TASK MANAGER.

  Help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  Think like a malicious software...
  It infects your system and is not to be found and removed.
  What are you most likely to use to find and remove malware?
  Internet, Google, Task Manager, regedit, restore the system command prompt, etc...
  The malware is often afflicts one or more of these components to try to trick into thinking you need to perform a system restore, a repair facility, or even to reinstall your XP from scratch.  None of these things are necessary since you can usually just to thwart malware.
  If the referenced files are completely absent from your system, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:
  Taskmgr.exe - Unable to locate component
  This application has failed to start because VDMDBG.dll is not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
  Rstrui.exe - Unable to locate component
  This application has failed to start because framedyn.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
  Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.
  If the referenced files are present on the system, but somehow corrupted, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:
  Taskmgr.exe - bad Image
  The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\VDMDBG.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.
  Rstrui.exe - bad Image
  The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\framedyn.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.
  Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.
  These files are part of the file 3498 who cares about Windows File Protection, so unless the WFP is also broken it is likely that files are missing completely (you get a different error message).  What is more likely is that the files are somehow corrupt or have been replaced by incorrect files.
  Assuming that XP is installed on your C drive and in the windows folder, XP keeps copies of 3498 files that he cares about this issue:
  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
  On a health care system, Windows File Protection keeps track of 3498 protected files and quickly and quietly replaces all the files in the list that appears missing from the backup folder.  File protection Windows will not replace the files if they are somehow corrupted or replaced by bad files.
  You can simply copy the backup files in the dllcache folder in the folder where are the suspects or missing files.
  Using Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache and individually to copy the backup files in there and then navigate the folders where the suspect or incorrect files are and paste in the copied files.
  Depending on your installation, you can also find copies of the files in this folder:
  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
  Answer Yes, if you are prompted to replace existing files.
  Test your functions now and then to reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick', and then fix any problems.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.
