Read step 1 again! You should not be using MSconfig. That is the point being made in step 1.

What we were fixing are not required Windows files. What is the exact word for word message you are receiving and how far into the boot and login process do you get? I need to know exactly when you are getting this message. Like is it before or after you even log into Windows?

How much of my last procedure did you run? Did you run SUPERAntiSpyware? The new version??? Did it say anything about removing user32.dll?

Does your PC boot okay in safe boot mode?

 

If you have the nohow or a friend can help you. You can always put your hard disk into another PC as a slave drive and then backup your data. Also if the OS is the same, you could copy the missing file from the other PC to your hard disk. Does it tell you the name of the missing file?

I was just guessing that it could be the C:\windows\system32\user32.dll You could look for this file on your hard disk while it is slaved in another PC. Note that while slaved, the drive letter would not be C There is a backup on your hard disk which is in the below folder:
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\user32.dll

You could just copy the above file to the system32 folder to get it back...... Again assuming this is the missing file.

It is possible that your user32.dll and other system files were infected. There are many many cases of infections like this lately.

 

You're welcome. Does this mean everything is okay now.

 

Okay then what did you mean by

? Did you mean that I was correct about it being the user32.dll file that was missing?

What steps have you tried to fix it? With a Windows XP CD you can boot to the Recovery Console and attempt to replace the missing file. Your previous logs show there were backups that could be used in the below folders

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB890859\SP2QFE\user32.dll" 577024 03/02/2005 10:19 AM 
"C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB925902\SP2QFE\user32.dll" 578048 03/08/2007 07:48 AM 
"C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$\user32.dll" 577536 03/08/2007 07:36 AM

"C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallQ328310_RTM$\user32.dll" 561152 08/17/2001 09:36 PM 
"C:\WINDOWS\$xpsp1hfm$\Q328310\user32.dll" 528896 11/01/2002 12:26 PM 
"C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\user32.dll" 578560 04/13/2008 04:12 PM 

This one C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\user32.dll would be the copy to use since it is the one for SP3. You have to copy it back into the C:\Windows\system32 folder.

 

I suggest that you post in the Software Forum as this is not a malware problem. It is due to what you did using a system recovery.
