Missing .dll

Just got a pop up stating that I have a missing .dll.

C:\Progra~1\Common~1\System\SysMenu.dll
The specified module could not be found.

Any help on fixing this is appreciated.

I am running Windows 8.1.

 

I came up with this from Microsoft Community:

Here is the solution:

1st: Download Auto Runs.

Click Here:
http://download.sysinternals.com/files/Autoruns.zip

Link basis: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

2nd: Find the yellow highlighted Image Paths that ends with sysmenu.dll. Usually you can locate those image paths from Scheduled Task.

3rd: Right click then delete.

4th: Try to find all yellow highlighted Image Paths that ends with sysmenu.dll from "Everything tabs, delete them.
NOTE: Carefully choose image paths that ends sysmenu.dll only, if you deleted paths that are not high lightened then it might cause some trouble booting your PC.

5th: Reboot Computer

6th: Wait at least 5 minutes to confirm that the issue has been resolved. (sysmenu.dll usually appears within a minute from rebooting the computer. )

Hope it helps

Thanks so much for the information.

Followed your directions and so far, so good.

Haven't received the message and it's been about a half hour.

Hopefully this is the trick to fix this. If not, I'll be back.
