And at the bottom of error message it has:RUNDLL It show up constantly when I am on the computer. I had installed McAfee total protection 2009, and possibly removed something. Any help would be appreciated or is this something I should take to a repair shop?

That sounds like a leftover McAfee didn't find. That's quite normal, especially with made up names. You should be able to get rid of the useless message by going into msconfig and keeping the file from trying to start up. Here's how:



1. Click on the Start->Run menu item.

2. In the Run text box, type in msconfig, then press Enter.

3. In MsConfig, click the Startup tab.

4. See if there's an entry for that filename. If there is, clear the checkbox next to its name.

5. Click OK.

6. Accept the reboot option.



Hopefully, the message won't come up on the next reboot. You will, however, get a message about your configuration having changed. In fact, if you just click OK, you'll get this message after every reboot, however, if you click the checkbox before clicking OK, the message won't come up again unless and until you make another msconfig change.



Note that, if needs be, those changes can be reversed the same way they were made: The entries are not deleted, just deactivated.



Good luck.

The error message tells you (in English) that the file wequt.dat cannot be found.



It may be part of a program in your Startup folder as a program, and thus you get the error message.



Anything in your Startup folder loads before you get to do your thing and if a file cannot be found in a program that wants to load, ya gots perobelems.



Do a search for the stupid sounding file (it may also just be corrupt from a previous download, no fault of yours), and delete it, if it is embedded (part of) a program, delete the program and re-install it (if it is a good and complete (error free) program.



RUNDLL is an instruction to load a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file, and because the dumb sounding file (wequt.dat) can't be found, the DLL instruction cannot be completed.



If you find the culprit, right-click it, then click Properties to see if if it is part of a program and where the source program is located, then delete the program if need be.

Hi,



If this error is appearing as you boot your computer to Desktop, then most likely something you have uninstalled, or something an antivirus program has quarantined has left behind an entry in your Registry which instructs the computer to load it on Startup.



You have a couple of options.



1. Isolate the culprit via MSCONFIG



To do this do the following from Desktop:



a) Press Microsoft flag key and R key together to open RUN window



b) Type    msconfig    hit ENTER key



c) Select StartUp tab



d) Scroll through list and look for entries referring to C:\Windows\}wequt.dat and remove the checkmark (tick) next to these entries



e) Click Apply





2. You can manually remove entries from your Registry. To do that, do the following:



a) Press Microsoft flag key and R key together to open RUN window



b) Type   regedit   hit ENTER key



c) In the Registry Editor window that appears, click the + signs in left pane to expand folders to this location:



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

 + Software

  + Microsoft

   + Windows

    + CurrentVersion



d) While still in left pane search the folders iside CurrentVersion, specifically for Run, RunOnce and RunServices



To view those 3 folders contents, click on them in left pane and look in the right hand pane at their contents.



If you see any entries in right pane referring to C:\Windows\}wequt.dat then right click on these entries and select DELETE



e) Now press F5 to refresh Registry, then close Registry Editor window



f) Reboot computer



Regards,
