    I get this error message

    stop c0000135 the program cant start because %hs is missing from your computer try reinstalling the progran to fix this problem.

    I have searched google for fixes, found them but im stuck getting this issue fixed. I have done all I can do. I need some help if anyone can please give me a hand.

    This seems to be an old issue but apparently has caused a problem now. I have read its due to an AVG update. Anyone out there able to help. Its my girlfriends computer and im not sure if she did this update or if it did it on its own.

    thanks.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Please follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual update Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only RogueKiller and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run the rest of the READ & RUN ME FIRST instructions on the infected account.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

    The problem I am having is it wont let me get into the computer to do anything. its a blue screen with the error message i posted. it will start up and ask to start in safe mode but then shuts off. wont do anything further. this is why i stated i tried everything. im thinking i may have to do a complete install but im hoping theres another fix. ive read there is an avg boot disk that will correct this but i cant boot it up with a cd. either im not doing it right or it wont do it because its got other issues.
