    Does your computer actually boot? Do you have the XP disk?

      Computer boots up. and yes I have the XP upgrade disk. I have to close the window on the desktop. I don't seem to be having any computer problems just an annoying error.

      I can't find any info. on that dll error. You could try Start, Run, sfc /scannow. This will check all the operating files on your computer and any needs fixing, it will ask for your XP disc to be inserted. If it doesn't find anything wrong could it be possible that you downloaded a bug? Wait just a minute. I just found this and it appears to be linked to some kind of infection. Just scroll down to Trojphot.o

      If indeed you have an infection you should post read this and post some findings there.

          It's definitely not Windows file, so sfc doesn't make sense.
          It looks like an infection. Start here: http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html

            It appears that the error was a trojan and malwarbytes removed it. Thank you very much for all the assistance you provided

            You better go back to my link, and post all needed logs at that forum.
            If there is one infection, there may be more.

              I'm so sorry but was that an order or a request?

              What I'm saying, it's better double check, than be sorry.
              Sometimes, infection is not clearly visible, but may be present.

                I am a little older than you and not the genius you are therefore it might take me a little more time to do the items you requested. Hang in there and I will do the best I can. I very much do appreciate your help.
