Hi, I just received a new laptop yesterday and within hours of taking it out of the box am having problems. Upon startup I receive an error message that says: error loading ctccw32.dll. I know this is a result of some things I downloaded yesterday but I cannot figure out how to correct the problem. I did run a hijackthis log, results are below: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 8:10:42 AM, on 11/7/2007 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16544) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\WLTRYSVC.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\bcmwltry.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVG7\avgamsvr.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVG7\avgupsvc.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVG7\avgemc.exe C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvsvc32.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\RUNDLL32.EXE C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\jusched.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\WLTRAY.exe C:\Program Files\Dell\QuickSet\quickset.exe C:\WINDOWS\stsystra.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\KADxMain.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\UpdateService\issch.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\SharedCOM\RoxWatchTray9.exe C:\Program Files\Roxio\Drag-to-Disc\DrgToDsc.exe C:\Program Files\Dell\MediaDirect\PCMService.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Grisoft\AVG7\avgcc.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\Program Files\DellSupport\DSAgnt.exe C:\Program Files\Digital Line Detect\DLG.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\SharedCOM\CPSHelpRunner.exe C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe R1 -

i'm kinda new to this but this is the problem, i'd hold out till someone backs me up on what to to about it though O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [gfxtray] rundll32 ctccw32.dll,findwnd I'd have thought you'd need to tick this on HJT and fix then reboot in safe mode, search for ctccw32.dll and delete it if it appears, then reboot back into normal mode. As i said i wouldn't take it as read this is what you need to do... i'd also d/l spybot then run and fix, then click on immunise before you go ahead and boot into safe mode. hope this helps
Thanks greens! What you said makes sense, I think I can figure that out. I'll wait and see if anyone else has any more input before I start messing with things. It all makes me a little nervous, I'm afraid I'll do something wrong and make it worse! Thanks again, Jen
Hi Guys, I have the same problem on my machine. So far have been unablew to remove the £$%^& thing. If someone could post a fix it would be greatly appreciated. Peace, G
