HID.DLL, Windows Update & Flash Drive Problems
Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place, but I wasn't sure where to start.
My pc went a bit nuts yesterday and is doing some odd things. My desktop colours changed by themselves yeterday afternoon while I was working. Nothing else happened so I just closed all my progs and restarted the system.
On booting I get an error message;
Windows Logon: Logon UI.exe-Bad Image
C:\Windows\system32\HID.DLL is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
This flashes up a couple of times, but once I've clicked it I can log in to Windows. However, Windows Update fails with the error code 80072EFE, Microsoft Security Essentials fails and can't update, the snipping tool won't work, and I've noticed than if I insert a flash drive into my usb port it recognises the drive and also displays the drive size & amounts free/used when I open the drive it doesn't show any of the contents.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Steve.
