Solved: C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GOEC62~1.DLL
I am running Windows XP and have been getting this error message every time I open an application. I've run RegCure and it hasn't helped. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this message?
Thanks all -

Thanks for the suggestion. I have already done that to no avail. Any other suggestions?

Welcome to TSG!

Open a run box by clicking Start | Run, or press WinKey+R
Copy and paste the following command into the Run box.

Code:
cmd /C reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows" /v Appinit_DLLs >"%Userprofile%\Desktop\Appinit.txt"
A file named Appinit.txt will appear on your desktop. Double click it to open in Notepad, and paste the contents into your next reply.

I'd also suggest not using a registry cleaner of any kind. They rarely provide any improvement in performance, and far more often cause problems.

Appinit_DLLs REG_SZ C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GOEC62~1.DLL

Copy and paste this into the Run box and that will take care of the error:
Code:
cmd /c reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows" /v Appinit_DLLs /T REG_SZ /D "" /F
Seems that value got left behind when you uninstalled the Google Desktop

HTH

Problem still occuring on Vista
I am also having the same problem on my Vista machine. I've tried your suggestion but unfortunately it's not working for me.

After I copy and paste the code into the command box I get different results than Steve. Mine says...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Appinit_DLLs REG_SZ C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GOEC62~1.DLL,avgrsstx.dll

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Welcome to TSG, Jonathan---

This is the XP forum, and this forum keeps topics to one issue, one machine, one O/S, one thread.

You'll need to start a new thread in the Vista forum.!

Click on Start > Run > type regedit

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

Back up the registry key.

In the right-hand pane, you'll see: String Value Appinit_DLLs

C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GOEC62~1.DLL,avgrsstx.dll

Delete the bold Google entry and leave avgrsstx.dll alone (related to your AVG antivirus).

Generally best to start a new thread in the proper forum, and include a link to other threads that may be relevant.

Your result is different because you have AVG installed.
Paste this in the RUN box to fix it. This will keep the AVG dll entry in place:
Code:
cmd /c reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows" /v Appinit_DLLs /T REG_SZ /D "avgrsstx.dll" /F
Edit: Or do it the way Phantom010 has shown, since he beat me to it.

Thank you both so much for your help! Everything is working normally again. That error was so annoying.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section, I'll remember that for next time

Happy Holidays!

I know you are going to shoot me down for doing the same as Jonathan DJ but as it's Christmas can you oblige. I have this message when notepad opens

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Appinit_DLLs REG_SZ C:\PROGRA~1\Google\GOOGLE~1\GOEC62~1.DLL,avgrsstx.dll

But the code qouted to paste into run still leaves me with the error - at least if I try and open the notepad file again.

What am I doing wrong?
