error mssg

[pancolt]

when i start up i get your program is making an invalid dynamic link to a . DLL file. how can i fix this

[Platypus]

Welcome to WinDrivers, pancolt.

This typically means a wrong version of a .DLL file has been installed onto your system.

Can you tell us what program the error message says is making the dynamic link, and what .DLL file it says it is linking to?

[confus-ed]

..so that's be a request for the exact error message then ?

Whether it is or ain't ... post it anyway !

I can think of more reasons than Platypus suggests as to the cause ... but the error message 'ought' to make it all clear ... (Now no doubt I shan't have a clue when you do post it ! )

Please also confirm which operating system & whether it is 'all patched up', a note on any AV or Firewall lurking is often handy too ..

I got this by pm ... might as well answer where everyone can pick over my suggestions

Operating system is which precisely - you put this in the 95/98 forum so 95 or 98 or 98se ?

Msgloop.exe is

Background program which gets installed with the drivers for older sound cards based on the Crystal chipset (eg. Adlib Audio, Aztech, Acer). Description : A WaveStream component which is provided to hook up with the Brooktree WaveStream CD, also called the "Brooktree WaveStream Message Server". This background program is also present in the drivers for more modern sound cards but in this case MSGLOOP.EXE is called the "Conexant WaveStream Message Server". These sound cards are often found in Hewlett-Packard PCs and some Compaq PCs.

Wmexe is

Background program which gets installed with the 3Com or US Robotics Winmodem type of modems.

So we have some kind of software conflict going on - this is a built machine I pressume by your hp logo reference - so can you confirm for us what ? So model please

It'll help us to know what's inside your computer equipment wise - this info should tell us.

Well this posts lists two out of three problem drivers.

http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/r1060267623

My personal guess is this problem was caused by something like First Aid or PC Bug Doctor. The utility probably spotted it as some sort of missing Dll and made an erroneous association.

Also, we really do need the exact error message. IF you can press the PAUSE key on your keyboard next time it comes up - and write it down, we could look it up. (and figure out what's going on)

the mssg was(your program is making an invalid dynamic link call to a.DLLfile) what it was is that a videocard that had been put in to replace the onbord video had been removed,put a card in and bingo,only now i get a regsvr32 mssg but its not keeping me from useing the machine,just got a new mssg to deal with .THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR INPUT.......

[Platypus]

Did you un-install the driver for the video card before reverting to the onboard?

What I'd suggest trying is, setup the system to whichever you intend to use, video card or onboard, and change your video driver to Windows own standard VGA driver.

Re-start the system in Safe Mode (if you're not familiar with Safe Mode, hold down the Ctrl key as the system re-starts, when a menu appears, choose the Safe Mode option). In Safe Mode, look at the Display Adapters in the Device Manager and you should see listed any previous video drivers (often referred to as phantoms or ghosts). Remove any except the standard driver referred to above.

Re-boot and install the correct drivers for what you are now using, and see if this resolves the problem.

Hey, guys. I am having the same error message, my husband was looking at pictures of naked women on the web and started getting rapid-fire pop-ups and now I can't start the computer (WinME). he error message reads "Your program is making an invalid dynamic link call to a .dll file" and then if I close the window and try to double click something on the DT it eventually locks up. Start button doesn't even respond. I'm tempted just to get a new computer and not let him touch it (can you say "password?") but I need the .mny Microsoft Money file out of the damn thing. It is too big for a floppy, I need the CD burner. Any ideas? -Erica

Welcome to WD erica775 .

You can start here ;
http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?t=57348

go thru the steps and start you a new thread under section 'Anti-Virus' and ask any questions there and when you've done SpyBot and all you can post a 'HiJackThis' log so we can help get rid of anything left .

Good hunting .

[erica775]

Thanks, Grand Dad but as of today, after I click close on the error message box, it just goes to white screen. no icons or start button or anything. The F8 key doesn't elicit a response. Guess I'll try starting it with the Norton SystemWorks CD in and pray. Thanks for trying to help me though! -Erica

You could try an install over and see if that clear it - if your restore cd's allow that - some only wipe the drive.

Alternatively you could put your drive in someone elses machine (make sure it has good antivirus and is uptodate) and rescue your money file that way.
