Windows 7 Starter: Comctl32.dll is missing
My Windows 7 Starter Gateway LT2104u stays powered off most of the time but was recently brought up due to issues with the main computers NAS drives. When it came up a virus scan determined the COMCTL32.DLL was a virus/trojan and deleted it. I tried to restore it from the virus vault but it was not there to restore. Gateway said they could help but the netbook is out of warranty and it would cost money to do the fix. There is no administrator account set up on this netbook so that I can try the fixes that supposedly work to restore this file. The netbook does come up okay but some of the functionality of the mouse to open programs is lost because of this file. There is also no CD/DVD drive so restoring or repairing the installation from that option is not possible. Looking for any suggestion that can help getting this file restored on the netbook so that it can be a backup whenever the need for it arises.
