308827 2004-12-30 03:48:00 Show all files in My computer / windows explorer. Then search for this ntdll.dll file. See if it is somewhere else on your hdd. It should be in c:/windows/system32 folder.

It may also be in c:/windows/servicepackfiles/i386 folder. If ntdll.dll is in this folder BUT not in the system32 folder COPY it to system32 folder.

I think this ntdll.dll file has something to do with exe files. Thats why no exes work.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll . dll

Some of my applz work like photoshop, explorer, ad-aware, but i can't run uninstall

I just tried to start photoshop and it wouldn't work, but then when I right clicked on the . exe file I notice an extra menu option i never seen before called Run As? what is this? Then it says which user account do you want to use to run this program?

Current user is clicked on
then a box underneath that is checked saying protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity . Under that is says this option can prevent computer viruses from harming your computer or personal data, but selecting it might cause the program to function improperly . What's up with all this?

308829 2004-12-30 04:07:00 Dont know what Nsynas32 is. I dont think its part of XP.

Do a search on your hdd. See if theres a file called Nsynas32.exe somewhere. See what folder its in.

308830 2004-12-30 04:11:00 Run as if u have more than 1 user, lets whoever run the program only. Its normal in XP. Have u got Cubase VST installed?? I think thats what that Nsynas32 belongs to. Speedy Gonzales (78)
308831 2004-12-30 04:14:00 Yes I have cubase SX installed . . . but I was looking through the ad-aware program and look at this log i found . I remember now that it was asking me that these events want to run and I clicked on cancel the events . So I disabled everything from ad-ware and i'm going to restart and see if this helps . . . and try to un-install after that . . .

308832 2004-12-30 04:19:00 Have u removed v6 of Adaware yet? By the looks of it u havent. I would uninstall it and install 1.05 of Adaware SE to keep up to date. Speedy Gonzales (78)
308833 2004-12-30 04:32:00 I uninstalled ad-aware... but I never seen that run as options how do I get rid of that? And I just ran a hijackthis.log file do you know what to take out by looking at the file? I have to post that somewhere else on this site right? paragone (6714)
308834 2004-12-30 04:37:00 You cant remove the run as option. Its part of XP. You can paste the hijackthis log here. Might as well keep it in the same post. Speedy Gonzales (78)
308835 2004-12-30 04:38:00 And I just ran a hijackthis . log file do you know what to take out by looking at the file? I have to post that somewhere else on this site right?

Leave HijackThis alone until everything is all fixed up or you will be in a right mess .

What version of Windows are you running? If it is Win ME or XP you could try a system restore back to before you first installed or ran Adaware .
