ATTENTION All Computer People! ` Who can figure this one out for me?

Question

Ok I thought I knew a little about computers, but apparently I don't. Mine has stopped working (connecting to the internet) I have dial up service through netscape. It's a Dell with Intel.
If any of you computer people can diagnose this problem I would be mucho appreciative!

At first it kept saying "The application has failed to start because ole32.dll was not found. (I have no idea who ole32 is)

Then it said "Installing the application may fix thsi problem".
And at one point it was saying "Cannot detect modem" and then a box popped up & said "winlogon.exe- unable to locate component."

BUT WAIT! That's not all! Here's what else it said....

"User Interface Failure
DLL msgina.dll failed to load.
Contact your system administrator to replace the DLL or restore the origional DLL. (no clue what DLL is)
Then this morning it said "You have plugged a digital phone line into your modem." But I did no such thing! Then there was a connection error #680.
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

msgina.dll is a module loaded by Winlogon to implement the authentication policy. The file performs all user identification and authentication interactions.

ole32.dll is a library which contains core OLE functions.



Usually when the message 680 (no dailtone) and "cannot detect modem" pops up, means bad modem. But with the other errors mixed in there, possible virus or corrupted files on the computer itself (that includes the driver for the modem).

Could try clicking on start ... run... sfc /scannow and then ok or enter key. Will try to fix windows files (ME not supported).

Might want a local computer store to check it out.

Answer 2

you got jacked...



ole32.dll is a msft system file



msgina.dll is a msft authentication control



dll's in general are Dynamic Link Library (DLL) they are like little self contained programs that are used by various applications and the OS.



all the other stuff is part of the same problem....



you need to run a spyware sweep and clean on your system...I use AVG (40.00) + spyware DR (30.00) + ccclearner (free, but limited and no spy ware cleaner) + ASO (free full function trial)



if you find that your dll's are still messed up, download new one's (google) download and install...



I'd clean up your registry too....= ASO (advanced system optimizer)...
