november_ra1n Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) 1. Have you tried this, it may fix the problem well known cmd command prompt for many troubles...Open cmd with elevated privileges, (run as admin), and enter: sfc /scannowIt should restart at least once as it verifies files and fixes corrupt ones. 2. Or other alternative use MS system restore going back to the date when this problem was not in place!

SnakeMasteR Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 xaprob.dll, even Google doesn't know what that file is. :lmao:You can check msconfig, autostart and registry for that file "xaprob.dll", so maybe you get another process or executable assigned to it.Not sure, if it is a virus, could also be a rest of a program installation or similar.

mushakis Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) This .dll file is running when ever windows is starting ..You should disable this file from running at start up.Open run from start menu and type msconfigthen open services under system configuration windowHide all Microsoft services, if you can see your file name untick the small square to prevent it from running at startupThen open startup under system configuration if you see your file name then untick the small sqaure and click ok and restart your computerAnother solution : Click Start, Run, and type regedit and press enter.Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEClick SoftwareClick MicrosoftClick WindowsClick Current VersionClick RunWithin the Run folder you should be able to locate the file. Once located, highlight the file and press delete. Once deleted, exit out of the registry and reboot the computer.The simple solution is to try system restore.

AlienForce1 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 You should upload that file to VirusTotal.com (or, VirScan.org) - at least you`ll know if it`s a known virus / spyware ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible when it says ITS MISSING!!!!Indeed.... :snooty: :tehe: :lmao:Maybe the file is still somewhere on the system or quarantined from a AV or Anti-Malware solution he already had installed. Is there any progress you made on it?install new windows, best solution :Duse a backup software such as ghost, true image, rollbackrx, ax64... never worry about errorsIt's the easiest solution for everything but i don't think he made the topic to get things suggested he already knows himself. He probably made the topic to get alternatives to a simple reformat, the ultimate cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
