Hi everyone, My friend asked me to have a look at his computer because it is running super slow. I have found that there is very little memory in it so i will update that. But my problem is that everytime we startup the pc we get a RUNDLL Error Message. The message is as follows: Error Loading C:\WINDOWS\mlmkii.dll The specified module could not be found. When we click on 'Ok' everything seems to run as normal. We have no idea what this is. Does anyone know how we can fix this problem. Thanks Renee
Try running CCleaner on the machine it should help find and remove all the dead registry links and help remove that error. if that doesn't work, post back.
Thanks for the suggestion phantom69. i did try it but i still keep getting the error when i reboot. Renee
hmmm... Download this software and run a scan and post your log file in this thread, remove any personal details if there are any in the log for your own security. http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Hi Phantom69, Sorry for the late reply, i was away for awhile.

Before Removing anything, be sure to backup anything before changes (HijackThis should have that ability as far as i can remember lol) Tick These For Removal: Code: O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file) O2 - BHO: (no name) - {938A8A03-A938-4019-B764-03FF8D167D79} - (no file) O2 - BHO: (no name) - {c2be53be-aa36-4d68-a9ae-480e0e28f00c} - (no file) O20 - Winlogon Notify: ctleng - ctleng.dll (file missing) And Most Importantly, this one: Code: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winehq.org] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\mlmkii.dll",realset And i'm fairly sure that should fix your problem, if the first 4 aren't causing any issues than i guess don't worry about removing them, better be safe than sorry lol, however that one just above should be the source of your problem! Hope this helps.
You are an amazing human being Phantom69, thanks so much for your help!! All seems to be working just fine now! Thanks again Renee
