Error loading C:\PROGRA~ 1\3721\ helper. dll - everytime i start up!?

Start -%26gt; Run -%26gt; Regedit





On the left hand side menu find:





HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\


SOFTWARE\


Microsoft\


Windows\


CurrentVersion\


Run





If there's an entry on the right hand side that mentions helper.dll, click on that line and hit the delete key.





Other place to check: Start -%26gt; Programs -%26gt; Startup

I had something similar and it turned out to be something wrong with the upgraded google bar so if you have one try uninstalling it

Reply:Try Anonymous Dave's answer first and if it doesn't work, try this:





Go to http://www.download.com and download HijackThis.





Reboot in Safe Mode* and run HiJackThis. %26lt;-- IMPORTANT





Check the following items in HijackThis.


**If any R* items mark for deletion, do not appear in Safe Mode, re-run HiJackThis in Normal Mode and remove them after you finish removing these items.

If you are unable to find some of the files that I mentioned, then they may have already been deleted.
Reply:could possibly be you have a damaged hard drive. If you switch off without shutting down the reading heads fall onto the disk damaging the surface. If this is where windows is stored your computer will not start.


If this is the case I recommend a new hard drive, a decent one is about £50.
