No BSOD, but crash: software missing, cannot start in Adminmode etc

okay, thanks! I will look into that more in dept, hopefully tomorrow.

okay, it took me a while to find time and read about Linux and get the bootable img file going since I'm not a geek, but here we are: it looks like I am now working from the Linux CD I just created.

It felt a bit creepy, but since the whole Linux thing is on CD I guess I'm pretty safe.

I hope you have time to give me further instructions, thanks a lot before.

btw: I installed KDE 2011.6 from PCLinuxOS.nl

Have you looked at the directory yet? Can you find it in Linux or do you need help?

I found it in Linux and deleted the folder where the nasty dll file was in. What would be the next step?

Boot and work normally in W7 I guess, or do you still have an issue that I have not addressed yet? If so, sorry, and tell me... we handle so many threads at the same time, we some times miss some detail...

that's okay. Deleting FilemenuTools was only the 1st step. That's done. Now still have the flwng problems

• can't start Avast Antivirus anymore
• can't instal any new downloaded programs. getting this message with every file:
• does not recognize ex. music files. everytime I double click an MP3 file. i have to specify with which program I want to open it (ex. WMP, Winamp)
• some software seems to be disappeared

All this happened after I transferred a lot of data from my external HD to my PC. Copied, not cut-past.

Would it be helpful if I upload a new HJT-file for you to investigate more indept?

Follow this tutorial please: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

okay, finished that too.

results:





I suppose you are interested to see the log file.
I've tried to open that log-file but was not able / allowed to open it (see 2nd print screen). There is no admin-option in the right-click menu.

Problems as mentioned in my earlier post still do exist. Please advice further. Thanks a bunch for your efforts!

If SFC has to fix stuff and you still have problems... something is very wrong.
I'd try a repair install Repair Install

The tutorial explains 2 ways of doing this repair: with having the SP1 installation, or not having the SP1 installation.

> How do I check this? in order which way to follow?

I have followed the 2nd way (without SP1) but I did get not get this pop-up screen:

But I got this one:
