How to unregister a .dll file on your computer
By vizdom
Unregister dll in windows
Unregistering a dll file in windows is easy.
Just type the following in the "run" or command prompt.Replace the path "C:\Windows\System32\dllname.dll" with the path of dll file you want to unregister and dllname.dll with the name of the file.
regsvr32 /u C:\Windows\System32\dllname.dll
"run" can be found in the star menu.Always keep in mind that the process mentioned above modifies the system data and can be risky sometimes.So its a goood idea to backup the system data if you want to do it.
There are chances that you might recieve an error saying " geplxss.dll was loaded, but the DIIUnregistered server entry point was not found".Such an error occurs when DLL file may be a corrupted version in memory. Consider to delete it or rename it in case you need it later on. Do it in safe mode or command line if it’s said being used.
To delete a stubborn file that doesn’t want to be deleted.
- Close all open programs
- Click on Start, Run, and type CMD and Press Enter to open a Command Prompt window.
- Click on Start, Run and type TASKMGR.EXE and press Enter to start the Task Manager.
- Click on the Processes tab, click on the process named Explorer.exe and click on End Process.
- Minimize the Task Manager but leave it open.
- Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory where the file is located. To do this, use the CD command.
- Example: Make sure you start from the root directory “CD \” then change to the directory where the file is located, such as cd windows\system32
- Now use the DEL command to delete the offending file. Type DEL “filename” where “filename” is the file you wish to delete.
- Example: del undeletable.exe and press enter.
- Press ALT-TAB to go back to the Task Manager and click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the Windows shell.
- Close the Task Manager

- Chrome - Google Browser Review
Chrome is the latest e-gadget from Google. We have to wait and see what so called 'revolution' it will make in the browser market. I downloaded Chrome from official Google Chrome website. It comes as a downloader of around 500KB which downloads rest of the browser from Internet. Google had supported Firefox greatly till now. With the major market share being with Microsoft internet explorer and most techies opting for Mozilla Firefox available with infinite addons, its hard for Chrome to make a mark. But the name Google had always been linked with wonders. Don't make any predictions. The latest hit from Google was Google Docs. Will Chrome be the next Major hit? Lets wait and see... Review Of Google Chrome Do not seem that fast. Firefox is Faster, then Safari, chrome and IE. Might be because it is still a public Beta.Nothing at bottom Part like a StatusBar. Just Kept Empty.Plain and Simple Design."Resolving Proxy" would be the first term to get attention of anyone who uses Chrome. It is actually the Domain Lookup I think. It has to be faster.Like Opera and Firefox Fastdial, thumbnail views of sites are available in each new Tab. Instead of manually setting the sites, it is automatically set as the most viewed sites. I love that change.Flash sites are loading faster. I tried Nokia.com and miniclip.com Even the main top bar or menu bar is not visible. Tabs has replaced it. What is Google gonna do without a menubar?Design is too simple. Might make it hard to use.A privacy mode browsing is possible without sending any of the information about the user to Internet. It will make context based advertising hard.There are some improper loading on certain site. try http://www.nokia-caribbean.com/ at firefox and Internet explorer.Click here to download Google Chrome I'm not gonna change from Firefox to Google chrome even though I love Google products generally. These changes are not enough. Waiting for the next Major release.
- MSI Wind review and specs
MSI Wind is the new netbook or more precisely a subnotebook from Micro Star International. WIND is not just a brand name given to this 'ultra portable notebook'. It stands for Wi-Fi network Device. Wind is likely to cost at around 700$ in market. Both Windows XP and Linux versions will be available. 8 and 10 inch versions are available with a screen resolution of 1024 x 600. Unlike a Flash drive from segment competitors, MSI has included a 80GB Hard Disk with the Wind. I test operated the white 1GB version for which I will certainly give a rating above Asus eePC in comparable range. Other tech specs: Chipset: ICH7-M, Intel 945GMS 10"W (1024*600) LCD - LED backlit. VGA: UMA 950 1GB DDR2 Memory Technical Analysis and review of MSI WIND.

im having a huge problem removing this dll... i've tried everything. Killing explorer doesnt help either. cbXPhijJ.dll
Same here :-(
I am sure this is not always the safest thing to do but the easiest way to get rid of a DLL (which may be held open by another process that perhaps you can't kill without shutting down the computer) is to pop in a CD, go into Recovery Console, and use the delete command there.
I bought a used computer and the old owner info keeps showing up on things, like e-m address and such. How do I remove the old owner from this computer? If someone can help, e-m at mhj4905@hotmail.com Thanks.
having pretty much the same problem as the guy above me but the diffrence is I am selling my old computer how do it get it unregistered in my name and my name out of the user account.
Good piece of info... I should have checked this hub earlier!
Thanks /u worked.
I have similar problem. I am unable to properly uninstall symantec as that shit remains in every asshole of friends computer. For DOS programs it popups message
“C:\progra~1\Symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL. An installable Virtual Device Driver Failed DLL initialization. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.”
Can somebody help what to do?
•From START menu select RUN option.
•Type “cmd” (without the quotation marks) . This calls up the Windows Command Prompt.
•Click OK. (Where is RUN in Windows Vista?)
2. NAVIGATE TO THE EXACT LOCATION OF DLL:
•Type “regsvr32 /u filename.dll” where “filename” is the name of the DLL that you are trying to unregister.
•Press ENTER.
•After you press ENTER, the confirmation window stating “DllUnregisterServer in (file name) succeeded” will be displayed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Please keep in mind that this involves system modification and can be highly risky.
It’s always recommended to keep a system backup handy, in case things go wrong.
