Error Message

[Valerie]

My computer has been really slow so Norton offered a free PC checkup. I did

all the steps that they suggested but I believe that I did something wrong

and keep gettinga message box that says:

Error Loading

c:\ProgramFiles\Wildtangent\Apps\CDA\cduEngine0400.dll



I don't know how t stop this box from popping up on startup. Please help..

Thanks,

Val

Hi Val , Suggestion : if you are using Norton just for antivirus ,

uninstall and use Avast instead .

There is an article on Wildtangent here.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WildTangent



If I had to guess, some program (like Norton) has removed "CDAENGINE0400.DLL"

and that item is still part of some startup process.

04 - HKLM\..\Run: [WildTangent CDA] RUNDLL32.exe "C:\Program Files\WildTangent\Apps\CDA\cdaEngine0400.dll",cdaEngineMain



I bet the error message comes as a side effect of

that particular registry key, because the file it

references has been removed.



At the very least, I'd have a look to see if there

is still a C:\Program Files\WildTangent folder or not.

Just to see how much of it has been removed. Did you

notice any games associated with Wildtangent have stopped

working ?
