I have had my computer (Dell) for about 9 months and recently when I turn my computer on, it says this message everytime. I don't have a clue what it means, does anyone out there know?
Anyone know what this means? "Error Loading C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1NEWDOT~2.D...
Maybe you are infected by a virus or spyware. Try to use first an anti spyware like Lavasoft adware. It can be found here: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw...
If the problem persist, do a virus check or format your computer.
Reply:I have no idea what that means but if it just started then it could be a virus or spyware, if your internet, boot up times or both are slow then I would suggest that is what the problem is.
First do a virus scan, if you don't have a scanner, I suggest getting AVG Free Edition which is a full and unlimited use anti-virus suite.
If that doesn't resolve it, get all of the following and run all the scanners. Adaware SE Personal, Spybot Search and Destroy and Microsoft AntiSpware Beta. Also consider the active protection offered by SpywareBlaster but it is not a scanner.
After you have downloaded and installed all these programs, I would recommend rebooting into safe mode and running the programs. The reason you would want to do this is that sometimes when a virus, spyware or malware program is running it can hide itself from the scanners or the scanner may be able to detect it but not be able to remove it because it is running.
To reboot into safe mode, go to Start %26gt; Run and type "msconfig" in the prompt without the quotes and click OK. Go to the BOOT.INI tab and select /SAFEBOOT. Click OK and Windows will ask you if you want to reboot, do so. Then run all the scanners.
Of course it is entirely possible that none of the above is the problem in which case I would say back up all your important files, get your driver restore disc and prepare to reformat your drive (using the Windows Installation CDs) and ultimately reinstalling Windows.
