MMLOADER

[Rock]

Hi,

Since yesterday, when I boot my 3 month old Vista (Home) PC. I get a message that mmloader did not load. System seems to be OK.

Have searched Microsoft knowledgebase nothing found.

Googled it and a different thinks from Time settings, Video card, to malware.

Searched this forum as well with nothing.

Any Ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

Whats your hijackthis say? ANy mmloader object shown?

[wratterus]

Does it by any chance belong to a program called Mikromap?

Post a HijackThis log like Pctek suggested.

Delete that.



You do have loads of stuff running in the background.
CLick start, run, type cmd.
Untick all the unnecessary clutter in your startup - you might see mmloader listed here too.

[Speedy Gonzales]

Tick these then tick fix checked as well

Close browsers

I would uninstall / disable windows defender its rubbish

Uninstall all versions of Java, then update it

Should be msconfig.
