Bar.dll not found

[criadaddy]

I am running PI 8se on windows xp. I keep getting the error message: "Application failed to start because Bar.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program was help." I have reinstalled 3 times and the program works once, and then the next time I get this message. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Check the followings:

Is there any file checking tool in your system? The tool might scan your hard disk and remove bar.dll....

Any virus in your system? Use some virus checker like Norton AntiVirus to do some check.

Thank you very much for your response. I think you may be right. All I have to do is figure which program is doing this. I thought I would outsmart things and place a copy of bar.dll in the ulead systems folder, and then I would just have to copy it into the PI folder. When I tried to start the program today, I got the same error message, and when I checked the ulead systems folder, bar.dll was gone from there also.

I am fairly sure that I do not have a virus. I use AVG regularly, as well as other system checking programs. Nothing like a good mystery, eh?

I'd love to hear any other suggestions anyone may have. Thanks.

Just because you use AVG does not ensure your system is bug free. The fact remains, something is removing this file from your system. It is impossible to hint at a possible culprit without knowing what you have installed and how you are using it, sorry.
