Hi Gang,

Here's the news. Every time I start the computer, I get this message:

RUNDLL
Error Loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\bnthhsxx.dll
The specified module could not be found.

This has been happening since I ran RegCure a day or two ago. I tried all the online libraries and nobody knows what the hell bnthhsxx.dll is. Don't tell me I'm the first to get it. Here's the hijackthis log:

So, what's the story? Can someone decode the matrix for me? It doesn't cause any problems, its just really annoying that it pops up every time I start the computer. Btw, XP with SP2 is how I roll, fyi.

Really!!?? I'm the only one who's ever had this happen!? Nobody has any idea what's possessed my computer??
