    The DLL has to be signed by the program that created it, so there is no way to do so after the fact. This is an odd problem. I assume you already installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update ?
    I had it previously installed but I reinstalled. Instant appinit_dll.dll_unloaded crash, if I run the program a few more times I'll probably get the usual msvcp80.dll crash.

    If the DLL cannot be signed then can I either

    a. Stop APPinit from crashing when loading unsigned DLLs

    or

    b. Get a signed version of the DLL?

    I work on the visuals side of the computers world so DLL's are a tad foreign to me :)

    Get another evtx log and upload it as you did before. Let's see if you are still getting the same error or if this one is different.

    Congratulations! You have a new error that is not found through Google...

    How opposed would you be to doing a clean install of Windows 7?

    If you want to avoid a clean install, you could try a Repair Install

    Before doing either, backup any important data on the system. If you want to try one last thing, I only have one other possible idea to try to resolve the problem.

    I'm reluctant to do a clean install again. I've done at least one a day from Wednesday til when I posted this thread. Each one sets me back two days and requires emailing various companies for reactivations on software.

    All of my work is on separate drives from the OS, I assume a clean install will preserve their registry entries and prevent having to reinstall software?

    I'll try checking for conflicting startup applications. I'm willing to do a clean install but a bit resistant to it if there are other options

    Repair install will leave the programs intact with their licenses. Understand the reluctance to do a clean install. Re-installing and activating software can be a real PITA. If you do end up having to go that route at some point, I would suggest once the system is working properly that you create a system image to restore to so you do not have to go through it again. :)

    The experts in Backup and Restore - Windows 7 Forums can help with creating system images and restoring from them.
