Guest Mike JW Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 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.... :MJW
