Hi Guys i'm in need of some help and advice if possible. Ive been checking out my mates computer (windows 7 64bit, 1 Tb HD, 4 Gb ram - more details in your repair error log) because recently everything (or most) they run gives the error 'c:windows\system32\propsys.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. try installing the program again or contacting your adinistrator etc'
The programs it affects are varied ( but from what Ive learnt it is a multi fuction dll) from not opening attachments (.doc, pdf files) in outlook, url's on the favourites, weblinks embedded in programs (such as your windows repair) plus others, e.g. sub menus such as save as dont work ..
So far I've tried multiple virus scans (Ive found that one isnt enough to provide a clean environment anyways) using a variety of tools from online scanners to offline disk based ones and found nothing.
I've replaced the dll and re registered it, again no difference.
Run chkdsk just to cover all the bases.
Run sfc and the only file it has problems with is propsysy.dll
Ive tried running your windows repair tool (which has been a great asset to me in the past) in both windows and safe mode, and that fails (log attached)
Ive tried a clean boot to see if that alters anything, again no difference.
Seems a lot of people have problems with this but no one has a solution to cure it, (well i havent found it yet if they have) and if possible I'm trying to avoid a reinstall.
Any idea's please?
thanks in advance
