Hello,
I have an older COMPUTER, HP desktop with 600 mhz and 128 ram, plus windows 98. I use this for retriving email and going to websites.

Every time I strat this computer it freezes about 60% of the time. I get a message: Remote Exe, file MISSING export, IML.32.DLL:1809.
Does anyone know what this means. Also, how I can fix this, or eleiminate the problem.

Thanks for viewing, and await your comments.
FrankDoes Windows even load?

If so, scan for Viruses and spyware.

Also use scandisk.Are you starting Incredimail?  If so remove it from your auto startup LIST and reboot.Yes windows loads and all the other programs, but it never quite finishes. I think it is because of this IML.32 missing dll.

I do not use any other MAIL but Outlook.Define it never quite finishes.

Have you scanned for viruses and spyware as I recommended?As the computer starts up and loads, I get the message (see below) about IML.32, then the computer freezes. It stops completing the start-up and there is no activity, and I have turn off the machine with the on/ off button.

Can you recommend a program to scan for viruses or spyware?

ThanksDo them both, Panda won't remove spyware but it will make you aware of it.

I guess the consensus is that this freeze-up is caused by a virus or spyware?

I would appreciate your confirmation.We don't know what's CAUSING the problem yet but starting with a clean computer is a good idea.

Can you start in safe mode without any problems?
