problem with shell32.dll
I'm not much of a computer nut here and don't want to mess around my system stuff or i'll end up recovering my whole computer. When i start up my comp and login i get this prompt, "The procedure entry point SHFlushClipboard could not be located in the dynamic library SHELL32.dll." I hit ok and my taskbar and icons go blank. After that some programs run slower, downloading is a little slow, and gameplay is somewhat laggy. I've never had a problem until that prompt and i'm not to sure what brought it up. Corrupt dll file? Do i need to replace it? -- spartacus03 Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

problem with shell32.dll
I recommend downloading and installing
MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) and SUPERAntiSpywaяe (SAS). Do a full scan with MalwaяeBytes' and SUPERAntiSpywaяe. http://www.superantispyware.com/ After the software (SAS) is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in Safe Mode. Reboot -=- http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in Regular Mode. Reboot -=- Both free versions of MBAM and SAS are on-demand scanners and offer no 'real-time' protection. Keep them installed and use them as 'second-opinion' scanner which is purposely (by design) recommended by their respective authoяs. -=- "spartacus03" wrote: I'm not much of a computer nut here and don't want to mess around my system stuff or i'll end up recovering my whole computer.

problem with shell32.dll
I knew there was a piece of that question that I forgot to get to...
After scanning with SAS and MBAM Type "cmd" into the Search box above the Start Buttonand when cmd comes up at the top of the Start menuright click cmd and click "run as Admin" and when the cmd prompt comes up at the cmd prompt type "sfc /scannow" no quotes and let it run. This may fix things quite a bit. It replaces corrupt files with intact ones, if you're not familiar with it. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 Repoяt problems and check for solutions automatically http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/fba7e7c3-2aec-46e4-9a32-968aa620f35b1033.mspx -=- "spartacus03" wrote: I'm not much of a computer nut here and don't want to mess around my system stuff or i'll end up recovering my whole computer.
