I recently had a windows problem and had to clean my hard drive completly and re-install all my programs and operatiang system. Before I could re-install an anti-virus software,someone in my household opened an email with the I-worm/yaha.k virus. I was able to download AVG 6.0 anti virus software from GRISOFT.com and remove the yaha.k, both from windows and also ran it from DOS. The problem I am having now, is when I try to open some, not all of my programs, I am getting the following error message . The error message is as follows..." ERROR STARTING PROGRAM... A REQUIRED DLL FILE, WINSPOOL.DVR, WAS NOT FOUND" This message appears whenever I attempt to open one of several programs, and the program will not open. The virus also has effected my start menu, so my firewall and others will not open upon start of the computer. I cannot uninstall/install software either from disc or hard drive because of the same error message. Any suggestions on how to fix
the problem without wiping out the drive again? Is there a way to replaced the missing WINSPOOL.drv so the programs affected by the virus will open? HELP...Ive tried everything I know
