Client brought in computer with non-working CDRW/DVD Drive and Win XP Home SP2 unable to boot. I installed another CDrw/DVD drive from an identical laptop (Dell Inspiron 5150). I booted to Windows' recovery console and ran chkdsk /r. Afterwards Windows was successfully repaired and able to boot. The system had Limewire installed so I immediately suspected virus/spyware infection. After immediately uninstalling Limewire, I have ran the following scans: Ad-Aware 2007, Spybot S&D, Avast4Home, ATF Cleaner, AVG Anti-Spyware 2007, SuperAntispyware Home, (Attempted Panda scan but Avast prevented it to run), Hijack This. I have logs where possible.
Issue:
When the system first boots to Windows, there is immediately a popup that will not go away: bcmwltry.exe - Unable to Locate Component: This application has failed to start because CFGMGR32.dll was not found. Re-installingthe application may fix this problem. [OK] If I click ok or the [x] it will immediately popup again with the exact message. After researching Google, I noticed it tends to be an issue with the internal Wireless miniPCI card. I uninstalled the card and software completely and no longer had the popup. When I re-installed the card, before setup had even finished, the popup came back. Interestingly enough, the Wireless card works perfectly (exception of the annoying popup). I spoke with Dell and they deemed this as a spyware infection. Instead of paying Dell to work on this computer I decided to come to Geekstogo.
