Asiclayer.dll

Hiya and Welcome

First off, it seems as if its a usual error with ASICLAYER.DLL.

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ASICLAYER.DLL&hl=en&rnum=1&[email protected]

But not any answers as of yet.

Is this just on startup, or does it occur at any other times? Also, have you loaded any software lately?

We'll see if its to do with any of your programs loading up at startup.
Go to Run and type MSINFO32
On the left choose Software Enviroment, then Startup Programs. copy/paste the list.
