Deleted Dll File, Computer Will Not Start?
Dec 21, 2011
Okay, so my Microsoft security essentials did a scan on my computer last night, and found a coinminer virus; my boyfriend stayed up to watch the scan, though he said he went ahead and removed the file it was infected with instead if quarantining it. The file was kwdll or somesuch, and now that the computer has restarted, setup repair started as well. It's been running for a little under an hour, but I've heard of it freezing for 12 hours or more.
My question is, what the heck do I do if it keeps going for that long? Is that normal? I've also heard that if you power down the computer while it's doing the repair if you think it froze, it may delete all of your files...so I don't want to do that.
I do not have a windows disc, and don't know anybody with one. My computer is JUST out of warranty, as well. >_< I am posting this from my phone.

Every time I try to start my computer, it says "windows is loading files," which it normally doesn't, and then Startup Repair pops up. I let it run for about an hour, and it finally finished, but it said it could not find the source of the problem. I looked in the log for the Startup Repair, and it said that everything ran smoothly, except for the file scan. it took over 100,000 ms for it to process, and it said the test failed, along with mentioning that the system32 file was corrupted. I don't know much about computers, not do I remember getting an installation disc. (The computer was a gift to me.)

I'll give an example: two files, names 1st_file.avi, 2nd_file.avi, nearly same size, at different locations. Now I deleted 1st_file.avi and 2-3 weeks after deletion, I open 2nd_file.avi (which wasn't deleted) and find that instead of the original 2nd_file.avi, the contents of 1st_file.avi are being played.How can the contents of 1st_file.avi mapped onto the the contents of 2nd_file.avi?

Maybe a week or two ago I was cleaning a junk from a system with revo uninstaller and have checked few more options then they are checked by default,and I erased some of the apps from start menu.That were apps which are in Accessories and System tools folders,and all Administrative tools folder.
After that I tried to approac them through Administrative tols in Control panel,but I was getting a message that a shortcut refers to a location which is unavailable,and that they are maybe moved to some other place on HD.Since I knew what have I done,and it was 3:00 AM,I decided to do a System restore,but some other day when I won't be sleepy.
Tomorrow and day after tomorrow I was kind a busy,and forgot to do a System Restore,but I was downloading some games and I was running out of a place on that partition.I was maybe a few hundreds megabytes short,and decided to delete all system restore points and turn off system protection,so I can get some extra place which was earlier dedicated to System restore.Off course,in that moment I forgot about the programs I deleted few days before but I remembered them in the same moment I turn off System protection and when restore points were gone,but a second or two too late.
So,my question is:
Is there any way so I can get back System tools and Administrative tools back?
Of course there is because I see some of them in System32 folder and in Windows folder(exe files) or maybe they are all there but I can't tell which one was where,and I don't know how I can get them back in Start menu,and reassociate Administrative tools with Control panel shortcut.
And of course,I don't have an image of a system.
I hope that you undersand what I was trying to tell.

I distribute Microsoft Access developed software and the program relies on locating its backend .mdb file. I find on Windows 7 that even if I delete a file and it appears to be gone, it seems to be stored somewhere. I need to be able to get rid of the backend database file for good.

I was trying to free memory space from hard disk and i unknowingly delete files from
C:UsersshriramAppDataRoaming
C:UsersshriramAppDatalocal
I nearly cleared all the folders from appData which in turn deleted all the short cut links from start menu and taskbar.

My brothers laptop has apparently deleted his user account and so he cannot start it up? Im not sure about the details tbh, hes running Windows 7 on a Dell laptop and he still has the installation disc and stuff. All hes told me is that his account has been deleted and so he cant start it in normal or safe mode.

I have a small problem tha I have been working on for 2 days, and I am stuck. I have a folder on my desktop that will not delete. The folder is empty, and windows recognizes it as a missing folder. I have attached the image of the error message. I have tried file shredder, chkdsk, defrag, and ran an elevated command prompt and deleted the 8.3 name, but still there.

Misunderstood a tech friend of mine and accidentally deleted both partitions when attempting to upgrade to windows 7. Now when I try to load the installation disc, it says there are no drivers anywhere and I'm unable to start the installation process. Is there somewhere I can download all new drivers?

I wanted to consolidate data from other disks that I had so I could use those disks to convert an existing Windows 7 installation into a RAID array. So I hooked up additional 2 x 500GB disks that contained files and previous installations of Windows and a 1TB drive to copy the files I wanted to keep. These two 500GB other disks were used for Vista in the past and both had been used as primary hard disks (ie they both had independent OS's installed).After booting up, I proceeded to browse through the disks and decided what I wanted to keep and what I didn't want to keep. I had to change permissions here and there to get access to the old Vista directories etc. All well and good so far.I have C: (Windows 7 installation), G: (old Vista disk) and F: (another old Vista disk). For all other installs including the Windows 7, I used the same username. For convenience sake, lets call my username billgates.So, C:, G: and F: all had directories USERS/billgates directories.Following this so far?When I browsed to F:usersillgates, I was seeing files from that directory plus files from c:usersillgates even though the location in windows explorer was saying f:usersillgates

The last update:October 15, 2011Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538242)After this update, a program was uninstalled (gone with no trace). The program had a screensaver option and I noticed it when the screensaver came up blank. Its shortcut was no longer on the desktop.Two files I had created October 12th, and was working on were deleted.I don't know if any other files were deleted.

I tried to download a PDF but something went wrong during the download and I ended up with a file icon on my desktop without any extension and having 0 bytes. When I try and delete this file icon I get the error message: "Could not find item. This is no longer located in C:UsersMynameDesktop. Verify the item's location and try again". This seems like a contradiction - Windows is showing a file icon on the desktop but then says there is no file there! I have tried searching for a file by that name elsewhere and there is nothing. I have also tried cleaning the reg and doing a disk cleanup. How to delete this useless file icon from my desktop?

So, I was having problems with my .dat file type icon, and in frustration trying to get rid of the icon and start all over again, I deleted the file type in the registry. Will this cause problems in the future, even though I re-added it in the registry? I don't see any problems with them right now, but I didn't know if I might have troubles in the future due to this.

Secondly, I'm having a few problems. I recently purchased a new laptop and was transferring files from the old ones hard drive using an enclosure. I somehow deleted my Videos and Documents sections on my new laptop. I can't paste anything, or move anything into these locations. I also can't create a new folder without getting a File System Error (512).
When I look at the properties of them, I can see that only the "public" locations are visible (Already tried resetting defaults by the way). I took a snap shot of the comparison between the music and video properties. How do I get that other location back?

I transferred about 300 GB of files onto my EHD - I thought that would free up that amount on my computer but when I go into my computer and click on C drive it is still saying I only have 114 G available out of 582 G which is what it was before I transferred the files onto my EHD. It appears that the files are still somewhere on my computer and need to be deleted, I just don't know where to find them?

When i got home today didn't my computer work, my girlfriend has been the last one using it. So don't know how things were just before the shutdown or anything.when i turn on the computer i get to the screen where "touch bios" is and where i can see the options like Bios settings, boot menu, xpress recovery.but i cant press anything, and after about two seconds on that screen the PC shuts down again.The keyword lights up so there is a responds on it, but just doesn't work to press anything before it shuts down.I've got BSOD upto several times a day for a few months time.believe that my computer is affected by some virus or something is delaying my computer. might be an combination of several things.I got no external things hugged up to the stationeer computer right now.it is a windows 7 x64 machine.
usually when i get issues i can access advanced boot up or bios, but can neither in this case..I wonder if it might be a hardware issue.

So, my antivirus (avast 5.0) found an "infected file" which it deleted. Shortly after that, he asked me to restart the computer for a startup analysis, which i tried. My computer then restarted, and I got to a "startup repair" window, trying to resolve problems. This windows runs for about 25mn to finally tell me that it is unable to correct the problems.I of course tried to boot in safe mode, tried "system restauration" a few times, and I allways get to the "startup repair" window.I also don't have win7 installation CD because they don't give it to you with your laptop when you buy it around here (yes, I made reclamations to get it but they just answered me that if I wanted the cd I had to pay the windows7 license again, this was out of the question).
I'm actually booted on a linux usb device (and hopefully I have access to all my datas!), and I have two questions for you (maybe three in fact):1- Is there any way to reinstall the startup whole thing without the installation CD?2- Is there a file where avast's last actions are reported? I went through the log files, report folders and journal folders in my avast folders, and couldn't find any clue about the file he deleted. My idea was simply to get the name of that file to replace it manually.

if servicename is running, do nothing.if servicename is not running, then start servicename, then record the date and time.based on my search [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]online[/COLOR][/COLOR], here is what I have so far.

It looks like that the If statement is not working. Every time I run this batch file, it runs through all the command lines.and I got a error message said the service is already running.

I m having 2 laptops at home, I want to create system image file of laptop1 onto laptop2. Since the data is large i cant take the hassle of creating sytem image on a DVD as it will require more DVD's to do it. So m planning to store it on Laptop2. I m thinking of connecting 2 Laptops with a LAN cable and then create the sytem image on other laptop.

win 7 home premium on HP pavilion, i do a start ---> search programs and files and it gives me the resultant file but without its path. sometimes thats a fat lot of use! (i've lost the right-click function so cant do quick lookup for properties) what do i have to do to make the search results display the full path of the file? also, if the result shows more than one file and i click on one of them, the result window vanishes so i have to start the search again to find the next file. how do i make the search window stay put until i tell it to go away?
