Everything seems OK, but now when I boot up I get an error message that \"deskbar.dll\" could not be loaded as the program cannot be found. What up? MB Username:    ghostrider01    Date Posted:    2007-09-03 13:21:36    Comment: M. Blake,  As you boot your computer some programs (malware) or execution points need to load this file and they don't find deskbar.dll because you deleted it. You need to remove those programs or execution points which need this file to be loaded. In most cases you just need to do a search in word or phrase in a file. Try to edit those files where you find deskbar.dll, but it doesn't help every time because the execution may be in many places of your computer.
