Someone installed an app Registry Cleaner.
I 1st tried to remove it using the Control Panel "Add or Remove" but would not uninstall.
Then tryed to remove it by running the uninstall that came with the app.
Still no good.
Then I went into regedit and removed things with the name of "registry cleaner"
It still loaded.
Then did a search on the HD for "registry cleaner" and deleted all but the regdean.dll because it would not delete because it was running. I renamed it and rebooted and now it comes up stating that it can not find it.
What I'm trying to figure out is at boot up time there must be a list of DLL's to load and I want to remove regdean.dll from it.

At this time the system powers up and gets the following msg:

{Cannot find import; DLL may be missing, corrupt, or wrong version
File "regdean.dll", error 126}

Would anyone have a clud on where this list is and how to remove this one dll from it?

Hi welcome to PCHF it sounds like it maybe loading at startup. Go to run and type msconfig then click ok this will bring up a screen select startup tab in there are tick boxes untick the one related to app Registry Cleaner and reboot the PC still there?

Found the problem. I went to Program File>Registry Cleaner and deleated the Registry Cleaner.dll

Thanks for the input anyway.

Glad you worked it out
