My desktop, running XP, comes up with the following error message for every program I try to run.I can close the error box & everything runs as normal but it is annoying to have to do it all the time.
The error message is ' c:\windows\system32\dispex32.dll is not designed to run etc etc '
Anybody out there who can HELP?

Make sure that you have a good antivirus installed. Have it update it's viral database.
Get a good anti spyware, install it and have it update itself.

As other sayd, reboot in safe mode.
Start your antivirus to do a full scan. Let it cure any inferction found.

Start your anti spyware. Do a full scan and let it correct any treat found.

DON'T do a system restore, as your check point(s) may also be infected.

MANY virus try very hard to inject themselves into past restore points in a bid to make it's removal as difficult as possible.


Some antivirus propositions (all are free and considered as prety good):
AVG Free at free.avg.com
Avira at www.avira.com
Microsoft Security Essential at www.microsoft.com

I don't recomend Norton. Not to good, very invasive (makes your computer crawl), and expensive.

try doing a (systems restore) to get rid if it/or fix it, system restore puts your pc back in time to when your pc, was worknig as normal, it will not deleat any of your work"i use it when i have a problem..to do system restore click on START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES / SYSTEMS TOOLS,and then system restore, in the new window that comes up" click next" a calendar comes up, pick a date back in time when the error massage was not there, say 4 weeks ago,and click next.follow the insructions,from there, and it will do it for you, you can all ways put it back to todays date, the same way, i allways do system restore on my pc when it goes nuts, its a great tool for xp, good luck,,
