Error Message win98

Hope you can help, as I am not computer sauvy. I get three error messages on startup in the following order.

A required .DLL file, CAPI2032.DLL, was not found.

I close that out, I then get this:

Unable to start process Ac32.exe, also with this I get a a window in the task bar, when I open that up, (w/o closing the above error message.) It reads: Status of Eurofile transfer.

What is that? Well actually, what does any of this mean? It did effect Zonealarm, but I downloaded it and reinstalled it again. It seems to be working fine. Also I havent been able to uninstall cleansweep, I get error messages when I try, even after I uninstalled and reinstalled Norton 2002. If you need those messages let me know and I'll try it again.

Any help or suggestions would be great appreciated.
Thanks

 

I recently installed WindowsXP, but kept on getting messages about virtual memory being to low while playing a game. I uninstalled it. Did I lose the DLL when I uninstalled it?

Thanks again

 

Hi chess3945,

Welcome to TSG.

It is possible you lost your dll during uninstall.
One option I have used to find deleted files is System File Checker. If you go to start/help/index and type in sys, you will see
it. double click using, then start in next window. Click on scan for altered files, it may find your dll if so try to restore form SFC or win 98 disk. This can be a time consuming process as it will bring up every system file you have updated or deleted.
Check back for other ideas.

 

I havent installed a ISDN card or anything related to networking on my computer. Though when I installed Windows XP it couldnt find my modem, instead went through my fax modem.

Ratchet: I did try system file checker and it found nothing.

Eddie: Im gonna try and uninstall cleansweep and get back to you on those error messages.

Thanks to you both. Any more suggestions are greatly appreciated and always welcome.

Chris

BTW, anyone have any idea what Status of Eurofile transfer is?

 

Thank you Eddie and Ratchet, for your ideas. Though neither of them worked, I still appreciated the welcome I got from you both.

I have no idea what I did, but somehow I got those error messages to disappear. I deleted a few Window XP files still on my computer, and empty the Norton protected recyle bin and that seemed to do the trick.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Chris

 

Have you recently had an infection with the magistr worm?

In fact have you done an updated antivirus scan? You can do an online one here:

http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/


Magistr has been known to place the ISDN connection wizard in startup, among other things.

Since you've uninstalled XP, you can run the startup log, which will give us a more complete look and help to spot any clever trojans that may be installed. Download, unzip and run the startuplog.com file from the link below. When you run it it will place startuplog.txt on your desktop. Copy and paste the full contents of that (not stubbpaths.txt) in your next reply.

I think I did this right...

REM Notes:
REM DOSSTART.BAT is run whenenver you choose "Restart the computer
REM in MS-DOS mode" from the Shutdown menu in Windows. It allows
REM you to load programs that you might not want loaded in Windows,
REM (because they have functional equivalents) but that you do
REM want loaded under MS-DOS. The two primary candidates for
REM this are MSCDEX and a real mode driver for the mouse you ship
REM with your system. Commands that you want present in both Windows
REM and MS-DOS should be placed in the Autoexec.bat in the
REM \Image directory of your reference server. Please note that for
REM MSCDEX you will need to load the corresponding real-mode CD
REM driver in Config.sys. This driver won't be used by Windows 98
REM but will be available prior to and after Windows 98 exits.
REM
REM This file is also helpful if you want to F8 boot into MS-DOS 7.0
REM before Windows loads and access the CD-ROM. All you have to do
REM is press F8 and then run DOSSTART to load MSCDEX and your real
REM mode mouse driver (no need to remember the command line parameters
REM for these two files.
REM
REM - You MUST explicitly specify the CD ROM Drive Letter for MSCDEX.
REM - The string following the /D: statement must explicitly match
REM the string in CONFIG.SYS following your CD-ROM device driver.

REM MSCDEX.EXE /D:OEMCD001 /l:d
REM MOUSE.EXE

Well looky there I did do it right. Now the only other problem I am having is my sound suddenly stops during the windows start up chime. I have no sound anywhere after that. I tried windows help file, nothing there worked. Any ideas? And thanks for all your help so far, you guys have been great!

Valid startups are not (usually) called from cab directories, so this, whatever it is needs to be removed:

"GRA"="C:\\Cabs\\grainstall\\GRA.exe"

From start, run regedit and navigate to

HKey_Local_Machine
+ Software
+ Microsoft
+ Windows
+ CurrentVersion
RUN

With RUN highlighted right click and delete that entry in the right hand pane.

You might also want to consider unchecking in msconfig

lxsupmon
lvcoms

Check them out in the startup list link below.

http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/startup_full.htm#L

If you have a Gateway, this might be the answer to what grainstall is:

http://www.gateway.com/support/drivers/output.asp?txtFileName=grainstall.exe

If it's in Add/Remove programs it can probably be removed there. Or you can just uncheck it in msconfig and see whether it is related to your problems.

And the "Go!zilla" dialup fix may be another possibility. Are you currently using Go!zilla?
