Can anyone tell me where I can find my product code on my computer? I'm sure there must be a file or something somewhere in the os that tells me what it is. Thanks

I downloaded and ran Process Explorer. Rundll32.exe is running a bunch of processes but there are 3 that I'm curious about and they are Process rundll32.exe(FFFDAB15) String rundll32.exe(FFFDAB15) FFFDA9A9 String rundll32.exe(FFFDAB15) FFFD756D I would think that one of these must be the one that is the infection. If anyone has any experience with this software could they please get back to me and tell me if they are legit or bogus

I'm working on my friends computer that became infected with a few trojans after his grandaughter was on msn. He is running winme and is using selective startup in the system config. In the config utility he only has loadpowerprofile and systemtray checked. When I do a ctrl/alt/del , instead of it showing explorer and system tray, it shows Rundll32 only. I have run avg and microtrend system clean, a host of spyware, and removed manually what was imbedded. I've read that some trojans will copy themselves as Rundll32 and that it how it avoids the antivirus scans. When the computer was connected to the web it was constantly loading lexplore(that's Lexplore but with a lower case L). When it's disconnected from the internet,it only shows the Rundll32. Does anyone have any experience with this? I've read that it adds a line to the original windows Rundll32 in the registry . Thanks for any help that you can offer.

Problem is now resolved! I tried the bootpart and it said that it was rewritten but that did not seem to change the boot options or the fact that it booted to xp only. Idid however, access my system files in "C" and opened up my msconfig to look at what it was showing. I clicked on system restore and low and behold there was a restore point there from a few weeks ago. I let the system restore to that date and my dual boot is back and everything is fine. Hopefully this will help others with dual boot systems where at least one is accessible. Thanks for all your help! Does anyone know how to reinstall the hair I pulled out? lol

Hi jaclaz. I will try that solution out later on today. Hopefully I can get it back without formatting my "C". By the way.........if I do have to format my "C" and reinstall winme, if My dual boot would automatically return on bootup? Thanks

Thanks for the reply m3n70r. Initially I had installed winme in "C" first and installed xp in "D".Both partitions were fat32. I got a message one day while ripping a movie that said something like"I needed to convert to ntfs to be able to use all available space" or something like that. I looked up how to convert fat32 to ntfs and that was probably a big mistake but I went forward with it and everything was fine. The only difference seemed to be the fact that I could no longer see my "D" partition while I was in winme. Other than that it was okay until the other day when it screwed up. The only partion that I converted was "D"

I currently have my disc partitioned into 3 segments. Winme is in my "C"(fat32) xphome is in my "D" (ntfs)and "E"is for storage. It has worked fine until the other day.I booted up and all I got was a boot "ini" failure and a "hal.dll" failure. I was able to recover the xp but my system no longer gives me the option for dual boot and won't boot into "C" at all,it boots right through to "D". I can still access my "C" partion from xp. Does anyone know of a way to recover my system to dual boot?I think it should just be a matter of getting the right file(s) in the right place. None of my drives were backed up.
