Error Message on Start-up...An exception ocurred while trying to run

[NightStyle]

Hi,

I have Dell computer with a Pentium 4 CPU 2.66 GHz.

The operating system is Windows XP, Service Pack-2.

After the computer completes start-up, I get the following error message:

RUNDLL:
An exception ocurred while trying to run
"C:\windows\system 32\adrotate.dll" DllVerify"

I'm not sure when the problem occurred, I don't remember installing any new programs or deleting anything from any virsus that my computer found during the scans.

Any help removing this problem from my computer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks once again for your time......

If you were to run a hijackthis log and check the O4 entries doubtless you would find an entry something like this....
O2 - BHO: Banner Rotator - {D117A61F-92C3-4450-A0C8-F425B14D4127} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\adrotate.dll (file missing)
Am I right? Good, check that entry and press Fix Checked...

HiJackThis:
==download hijackthis: http://216.180.233.162/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe
-install it to a new folder alongside your program files and then rename the Hijackthis.exe to imabunny.exe.
-in that folder start HijackThis by dclicking the .exe; now close ALL other applications and any open windows including the explorer window containing HijackThis.
-select Scan Only, place checkmarks against the entry and then press Fix Checked.
