WXP Pro SP2 - I get a patch 4x5" on my screen just before my Settings start
to load. On two occasions I've seen a file name in the top border:

C:\Windows\System32\Mui\0816\XPOB2RES.DLL and Nbr 0411.

I click OK and go into W as if nothing happened.
These files are in C:\W\Service PackFiles\i386 and under C:\W\System32

There's many all with different nbrs.

I'm assuming these two files (maybe more) have become corrupt - I did lose
my e
Exe, Lnk and Reg associations but it's fixed now. (I hope) - I was going to
replace these two with fresh files but ... I better get some advice first.

Do these files have anything to do with my Screen/Video card as they appear
when the colour appears.
any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx ...

That's definitely a Windows XP file. Usually it's located in the System32
folder, but "mui" is apparently "Multiple User Interface", so from what I
see, it would make sense for it to exist there also. It appears to be used
by a LOT of different things, so initially it looks OK to be there. Do a
Google Search for "XPOB2RES.DLL" if you'd like to read about some of the
things it's used for.
It -could- be part of a spyware or trojan, I guess, but ... I wasn't able
to locate anything that indicated its use for such.
To be on the safe side, unless you can determine you know it's OK to be
running, I'd do an antivirus scan and run at least three spyware detectors
on your machine. Be certain to check for updates to ALL of those before
running them; things are changine all the time.

Hi Poprevit, nice of u to reply. MUI I found in THIS instance accrding to
the MSKB is "Multilingual User Interface"

I have ran Zone Alarm and Ad-Aware Pro - Nothing found by Zone Alarm and
Ad-Aware found one Class 3 (non threatening) file. Also JV Power Tools,
Registry Mechanic, EasyCleaner, Windows Registry Repair Pro and IE\Properties
to get rid of TIF/Temp files. ... it 'appears' I'm clean. Maybe not but I
haven't got anything else to run. Any suggestions?

There are 3 related files - MS says u need all three which I do have. I
read about it this morning but I found it confusing so I still don't know
what to do about my problem. It seems it can pertain to the Network but
I'm not on a Network. I did install MS Network Wizard but have yet to attach
my Laptop to it.

XPSP2RES.DLL I have 27
XPSP1RES.DLL I have 34
XPOB2RES.DLL I have 27

I rather felt I was hit by Malware as my file Associations fell apart -
twice now but nothing showed up in the Scans. I do notice my Outlook email
is or was super sluggish when typing, the words didn''t always appear right
away but that too seems to have cleared up in the last few hrs.
Cripes, there's always something to "fix" in a computer. You barely get 24
hrs between things to check, do or fix. ...
