Hello,

I cannot boot my xp system because of an error message that says ----- missing comg32'dlg file.

What can I do to get my system to boot up, I do not have a system disk.

Thank You,

Diggin4it

Hello,

I checked and I did not put in the correct error message --- it should have been

missing comg32.dll file.

Thank You,

This file is not a known Windows DLL.
I suspect Malware programs, such as virus, trojans and rootkits that have the potential to affect your computer's performance in many ways. Malicious programs are notorious for modifying or deleting important files like DLL files.

Can you boot into Safe Mode (F8 when windows starts)?

I suspect your PC is infected, first run a malware scan using a reputed antivirus and antispyware tool to delete the malware and restore your PC's integrity. Next, if the missing DLL file is a non-Windows file, download a new copy of the DLL file from a reliable DLL online directory. There are many free DLL directories available on the Internet that offer free downloads of DLL files. However, before you select a website always confirm that the website is safe and genuine. The reason being - there are many dubious websites that are known to push rogue or malicious files in disguise of genuine DLL files. Downloading a file from such websites may cause more harm to your PC.

I you are using Windows 7 or 8 you have the option to start from a "repair disk" and run a "startup repair". These repair disks can be downloaded via the internet and burned to a CD. They are specific to the type of Windows you have installed. Either 32 or 64 bit. So be sure to download the correct one.

It is also recommended that you run a registry scan to ensure that the DLL error is not caused due to an incorrect DLL entry in the registry.
