Title: Need help finding a dll file
Post by: vaders4 on October 09, 2004, 09:08:10 PM

I'm not sure if this is a software problem or not.  I don't know alot about computers and I need help!!!  When I turn my computer on, I get a message on my desktop saying "Error loading C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~1.DLL    The system cannot find the file specified."   Then it has the OK button to click on.  I have been just clicking OK, but I would like fix this problem.  Can ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME??????  I have even had windows 98 re-installed and it didn't work.  Any suggestions?????          

Thank you

vaders4.....I believe your pc is infected with some form of pest......what sort of anti virus and spyware detector do you use .....What is really disturbing is your comment about having your win 98 reinstalled.....If your hard drive was formatted and then win 98 installed clean the problem should have been removed ......or was it just a reinstall over top ?
let us know

Scan for viruses, spyware and trojans.

thanks for the quick responses!  the windows 98 was just reinstalled over top i believe.  I have AVG antivirus on my puter and I have no clue about spyware.  I don't have spyware on my computer nor do I know anything about it.  I ran my AVG and it all came up clear, no viruses were detected.  

Thanks again.

If you donot know what Spyware is, that doesn't mean it's not on your computer.
