my daughter's pc just started doing that recently, too. i replaced the cmos battery since the mobo and box is over 7 yrs old. not a problem since. and just think, all it cost was $3 and change... Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy. - Isaac Newton

hi all. i just loaded and ran the latest cccleaner version, 2.22.968. after ift was done, i analyzed the system, and ran the cleaner. now, whenever i run any program, i get flagged "the application or dll globalroot\systemroot\system32\hjgruixlqjomqr.dll is not a valid windows image. please check this against your install diskette." i googled this flag and came up empty. i ran the check in the registry for the word hjgruixlqjomqr.dll and again came up empty. i'm at a loss here. anyone run across this same issue?
