    I down loaded a hard drive or some sort of drive cleaner and now I cannot print or down upload photos from my Camera and who knows what else isn't going to work. When I boot my computer up I get an error real play.exe DLLC:\program files\common files\real\plugins\smlf3260.dll. I am not sure if I am posting in the right spot here so if someone can help me please confused

    Can you use system restore to try going back?

    What program did you use?

    May need to try and recover the lost files and\or replace them one at a time. Since the file in question appears to be Real Player, you might reinstall Real Player to solve this issue.

    I did try a system restore and it erased the program I used which I got here and I don't remember the name but I belive it is from the same developer as the ccleaner. And I didn't take the appropriate steps while setting that up as suggested. System restore helped some but not with the previously listed issue it keeps coming up

    Install Real Player again.

    Directory real tells me Real Player is the error.

    DLLC:\program files\common files\real\plugins\smlf3260.dll

    I am in the process of re installing it now. I'm a mobile guy like T-Mobile internet so it is slow. Really slow. I live out in the country and just haven't gotten the inet hooked up out here lately. I also work as a contractor so it is kind of nice having the access in the field when I am not down loading whatever it isn't so bad but the T-Mobile thing is definitely slow. Did I mention that I love you guys. :major

    My print jobs are being background printed instead of being printed on paper what ever that means(canon ip90). The adobe photo shop is giving me a general error: invalid file dsn- It also said something about a corrupt file or something.

    Sorry. I got a little excited there actually getting some help seems to be getting rare these days. :p as far as I know my real player is up and going but I will hae to restart my computer. The printer is my mager issue as it is how I write up proposals and contracts. It was working fine prior to my running the cleaner so that changed some sort of setting.

    OK I restarted my pute. Got the same original error. I tried to open the realplayer10-5gold program and got this message. C:Documents and settings\my name\desktop\realplayer10-5GOLD.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I do now recall when running the cleaner I had to spend about 45mins helping it to delete. I got alot of messgaes not allowing me to delete some of the win32 applications and had to press ok to continue. I don't believe that those got deleted but I do think that others were allowed to be deleted or accessed automatically. I am hoping that win32 is a xp application and not an office app as I have the xp software to reinstall and not the office discs. Any help please. I remember thinking at the time that when I saw the win32 files being deleted I shuld probably make a note of that. rolleyes I have to believe that if I would have dumped all those win32 files that the pute would not run at all. Thanks for any and all help and I apologize if I have posted in the wrong thread

    Redownload RealPlayer, that error message is typical of an incomplete download. Then install it. I would suggest you reinstall your printer software and adobe as well.

    Major atta-dude gets a major attaboy from me. I haven't downloaded the adobe yet but its next. I don't get the real player message at start up and my printeris working. At least it was I haven't tried it since I ran the ccleaner. I can't imagine that it has changed anything as it was never a problem before. Thank you so much Major Attitude.:major
