Re: problem with dll file

Have you run a search for *online virus scans*? Also, you may be able to delete the file if you boot in safe mode. Not sure.

Is there a way to access dos commands before windows boot up?
Ok... something about this bugs me.
You are not using DOS! You are using a DOS style command interrupter on Windows XP. If you don't believe me type:
ver
And see what it tells you. DOS has been gone since Win95 and was never a part of the NT line.
I know this is nitpicky, just like how the term "hardware firewall" bugs me as well... but computers are of an exact nature, therefore it is important to use exact language when discussing them. This way everyone knows what everyone else is talking about.
In the end it is better for everyone.
