HTS-500 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) Hey, im stuck with a kinda strange thing, every time i start windows, it shows up an error that batmeter.dll is linked to a nonexistant part of **.dll (dont remember exactly), but EVERYTHING works ok (it shows up after the desktop loads), then i tried to rename the batmeter.dll to see what happened, now it asks for batmeter.dll but i just click OK and EVERYTHING works ok, then i just checked all the autorun programs and dll's with autoruns, the only program at startup is wbload, but i tried unloading windowblinds and reloading it running directly wbload.exe, and the error doesnt show up so thats not the problem, then tried disabling most of the dll's at startup (basically all the internet/networking related ones, as that pc doesnt even have a modem) but the error stills showing up... then i took a look at batmeter.dll, and as you may guess its the dll that measures the battery on the laptops, but im on a desktop, i have no idea of what use could batmeter.dll have on a desk nor what program is calling it, the msgbox just says "Error Starting Program", but there's no way to know what program (the task manager only shows wbload and explorer.exe.... i havent tried with process explorer, but anyway, there are no more programs in the startup)that error appeared recently after a restart i made with no changes, i have installed UnSP2.1a, RPLite v4, 98SE2ME and Kernel Update 0.2.5, again after i installed all these the error doesnt showed up, it showed up after a normal restart with no just-installed programs or anything like thatany ideas?

janus zeal Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Looks like something to do with a laptop power manager. look in the startup lists (msconfig.exe) to see if something you dont need is trying to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainyShadow Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 It's probably loaded by systray.exe , which in turn is enabled by various windows options (like enabling the volume control icon in systray) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTS-500 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 i disabled systray.exe, when i said "all disabled exept wbload.exe" i really meant "ALL disabled but wbload.exe" (exept shell32.dll, i guess explorer.exe need it)... i will try restoring the original w98 dll's following charle's linkand lmao @ miko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
