winlogon.exe - Unable to locate???

[Guest Mike JW]

Hi. I am having this prob and as a poor college guy really don't need the

$79 fee to have someone fix this for me. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP?!?

 

My Problem: ...turn on my computer (hp Pavilion zt3000) and the generic

blue screen turns up with a window saying:

 

"winlogon.exe - Unable to Locate Component. X This application has failed

to start because ole32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may

fix this problem.

 

It's very weird. I can't get to anything and don't want to reinstall stuff

for fear of losing my stuff that's not backed up.

 

Whomever can advise me on this will be a TRUE HERO. Thanks much....

Adding to Carey, Either try System restore to an earlier date then try to

troubleshoot.

Or try this:

Make sure the machine malware/virus free by scanning with an up2date software.
