Another RunDLL error
Since approximately 1 month ago I've been getting a RunDLL error at startup. It reads word for word:"Error loading winnaj23.rom""The specific module could not be found"I've searched several times for help on how to fix the problem and also tried downloading programs that were supposed to help me get rid of it but none of that has worked. If you have any idea how I can fix this, I would greatly appreciate your advice.Thanks for your time,JaymeeL1 person needs an answerI do too

A Google search for "winnaj23.rom" brought up nothing but your post. When you don't get any hits for a file name on Google, chances are high that it is a malware file. Either you uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In any case, a reference was left to the file in Startup. You can remove the reference by managing your Startup. Because you had one piece of malware, the chances are also high that you had others. It would be a good idea to scan. I recommend downloading and installing MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) from http://www.malwarebytes.org . The program is free. (There is a paid version but you don't need to buy it to remove malware.) Manage Startup: (for XP) Start>Run>msconfig [enter] This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".
