[Resolved] 95 start up dll error

Hi

I have just removed a couple of trojans and MagistrB from a Win 95 system. At startup it now comes up with an error message that it cannot find AWLFT332.dll and then a message that it cannot complete setup of a program. I presume this is to do with AOL as it says to contact AOL with problems. We do not want AOL anyway.

How can I get rid of these messages. The system starts and runs fine so they are obviously unnecessary extras.

Many thx

 

that dll is for microsoft fax, see this article
HERE

 

Many thanks

I have installed fax onto the machine and it now loads at startup. I still have the message about setup being unable to continue due to error #18. I presume it is an AOL setup file as it says to contact AOL at a 1 - 800 number.

How do I get into what is loading at startup and remove this message and stop the fax loading - the customer never uses it. What I am looking for is something similar to MSCONFIG in 98 - possibly in the registry????

Thx again

 

You'll find it in one of the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ RunServices
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Rightclick the file you're looking for in the right pane and choose delete:

Two nice Msconfig replacements for Win 95 or Windows 2000/NT: <A HREF="http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml">Startup Control Panel </A> and

Good luck,

 

Worked a treat - thanks a heap.
