Shlwapi.dll gone?!?

Price, on Friday July 4, 2008 04:53:18 PM
Hello,
I was battling the AntiVirusXP 2008 virus that was recently unleashed on my sister-in-laws' laptop, and while working on it the laptop rebooted and now i am getting the error message:

The application has failed to start because SHLWAPI.dll was not found, Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Now this is coming up before i can even get to the logon screen. I can't even logon in safe mode. Please help, I do not know what else to do in order to get back into the computer.

also this is on Windows XP
Configuration: Windows Vista
Firefox 2.0.0.15

It is just a fake bitmap image to scare you enough to buy their fake antivirus software. The message is false and is just one of a number of fake messages they use. If you see the blue screen of death on your computer, it is just a screensaver designed to look like the bluescreen of death famous on Microsoft Windows system. I think bleepingcomputer.com has the instruction to remove it.

I just had this happen. I took the Window XP operating system CD and performed a reinstall repair. (Act like you are installing the vrsion fresh expect when you get to the screen to reformat and install just hit r instead to repair.)

Hope this helps.

If you honestly knew anything about computers you would know better than to say that the error msg was a bitmap. Wow I think everyone on the forum is now dumber having listened to you(someone). Please F.O.A.D. *huggles*

Same thing just happened to me.. I deleted av2009 from a computer.. Read some instructions telling me to delete shlwapi and some other dll.
Luckily I carry xp cds in my work bag.
I am most of the way through a repair install..

My wifes laptop had same issue. The SHlwapi is missing and she doesnt have a cd to repair. Is there any way to load the dll file back? Her computer dont have a recovery partition. It wont start windows. Any help will be appreciated. She had the antivirus xp 2008 as well.

There are many websites with manual instructions that tell you to unregiser shlwapi.dll and wininet.dll -- but aren't these system critical files?

How can one possibly unregister these?

DO NOT delete shlwapi.dll, you need that file. Don't trust yahoo answers either, some people easily give you wrong information. if you easily do searches for exe programs, you will find many results for what they mean and if they are safe. shlwapi.dll is a needed file!

Open a command prompt and enter SFC /SCANNOW
It will compare Windows System files and replace if it sees any that don't seem to be correct. It MAY require you to have a XP CD. Just ran this today on a laptop and both did not require the CD and did fix the issue.

Ha same problem here like everyone, but I'm not seeing any solution alternatives besides using the 'repair' install.
Just like everyone I followed (phony?) removal instructions to delete the shlwapi.dll and now the computer will not even boot. it tries to boot in safe mode and every process crashes saying missing shlwapi.dll. and once it fails on every process it automatically reboots. I'm thinking I have no choice but to find an install cd.
