I'm not a Windows guru or, fan, nor even user, however have been
asked by a friend to debug his winXP problem. When logging on, he
gets a non fatal error, and can bypass it, without a problem. It has
to do with the system tray and there's a missing file in the directory
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\(forgotname.dll) - which is functional in
and effects a file in system32\wbem\fram?????.dll (don't ask how I
traced all this down and forgot half of it already )
There is a log file.... system32\wbem framework(?).log, whose last
entry was, in the AM today and explained the error with something like
"Provider login 'invalid', but superceded by current
login...yada,yada,yada...

Anyone ever see this before? thx

It sounds like you don't have the patience to follow through with fixing
this problem so either let him live with it or find someone else to help
him. It does not seem to be a dire security threat, just an annoyance at
this time. If there are one or more .dll files missing he may have to
uninstall or reinstall something, but if nothing seems to be broken
besides this error why even bother? You could check in the Event Viewer
log to see if application errors or even system errors are being shown
at the time of logging on. If you do see something that looks like a
serious error you could post back.
I'm on the road now, and left him with, practically, the same response.
He didn't have the system disks that came with it (2004 toshiba
laptop). I thought there was something on board like the "system check"
(OS?), which compared the working files to the installation ones and
replaced anything questionable.. thanks


This line here:
effects a file in system32\wbem\fram?????.dll

Is the file name "framedyn.dll" ?

I see this A LOT with adobe products. For some reason Acrobat,
Premier, etc... have a hard time finding that file. Even though
their own error message shows the correct path, as in the error
message above.

My solution, and it works, is to place a copy of framedyn.dll all
over the disk. That is, put a copy in C:\windows, put a copy in
C:\windows\system32, etc... The application will search the
%path% variable before it generates the error, so if you spread
that file all over the disk, it will find it and move on without
errors.
