This simply means that the system is missing a system file it requires to function properly.

Suggest calling in the IT personnel to take a look at it. Not to solve the problem on your own, else you may make even more damage. Good luck. Neutral

So it's not a problem tat simply juz go to another PC to d/l tat file & prob will solve.
icic.. ok perhaps I have to call for IT support ppl liao

ChrisYX SG

from the look of things that's not really advisable. The name of the file suggest that it's related to the Windows server and that's something your IT personnel is required to look after.

winsvr or winsrv?

cos I encountered this issue before for winsrv... error msg like "The dynamic link library winsrv could not be found in the specified path Default Load Path"...

solved by reapplying the service pack...

winsvr. no idea what happen. But the result of it is tat application like shortcut/ system properties all cannot enter. Surprise is if I go into my computer -> my document -> my file.doc , i can go into ms word, but if I click on start -> microsoft word, i cannot enter

& 1 thing i dun have any window CD, less able to d/l from net...

ditzy SG

its winsrv.dll, an application extension which should be present within the system32 folder of your windows folder. Likely causes for it to go missing could most probably be due to a virus renaming the extension to irritate you. That dynamic extension is special within each system, so it may be futile to just replace it. Very Happy

jin gy leh, ah boh an ni lah, just pop the windows cd and re-install, like dat ur files won't go missing. prior to dat, do a virus scan, an updated one.

ditzy SG
