Could you click here to download Beta-Fix.exe (2K/XP only!) by freeatlast. Double-click on the Beta-Fix.exe and it will install a folder called Beta-Fix on your system. Go to that folder and double-click on !LOG!.bat. The program takes a few minutes to collect the necessary information. When done post the contents of Log.txt in this thread.

Open the Beta-Fix folder and then open the keys1 folder. Right-click on the MOVEit.bat file and select 'edit'. Copy and paste this line into the blank file:

move %WinDir%\System32\D3DP.DLL %SystemDrive%\junkxxx\D3DP.DLL

Save the file and close. The next step will cause a restart. Still in the keys1 folder, double click on FIX.bat. You will get an alert of about 20 seconds before reboot - allow it to reboot.

On restart, open the Beta-Fix folder again and double-click on RESTORE.bat. When it is finished, in Beta-Fix folder, there will be a file called Log1.txt - post it's contents in your next reply.
There is a message when i try to right-click MOVIEit.bat that says: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Beta-Fix\keys1\MOVIEit.bat'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
Not sure why it is doing that. :scratch:

Different approach - click here to download and install Registrar Lite. Open Registrar Lite. Copy and paste the key below into reglite's address bar and hit 'Go':

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

Right-click on the Windows key in the left pane and rename it to something else - for example:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NotWindows

DoubleClick "Appinit_Dlls" value on right pane and erase the data in the 'Value' box at the the bottom of the new pane. The data to remove will be:

"C:\WINDOWS\System32\D3DP.DLL", hit 'Apply' and 'Ok' to set.

Rename 'NotWindows' back to 'Windows' in the left pane, close Registrar Lite and reboot the computer. If all goes well the hidden process will not run at startup and you should now be able to find and *see* the D3DP.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\System32.

Using Explorer go to your root drive: C:\ and create new folder, name it: 'Junk'. Unzip and run Winfile from here. Open it up, click File>Move…

Copy and paste this into the 'From' box: C:\WINDOWS\System32\D3DP.DLL
Copy and paste this into the 'To' box: C:\Junk\D3DP.DLL

Hit OK. Close Winfile and check in C:\Junk for that file - let me know what's there. Run HJT and post a new log for the next steps.
Here's what is in C:\Junk; D3DP.DLL, WINFILE application & WINFILE zip file

Let's clean up a bit and see if it comes back. If it remains OK there are just a couple of steps after this.

Click here to download CWShredder by Merijn Bellekom and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'. Reboot when done.

Click here to download Spybot Search & Destroy - install, update, scan and fix all RED items it finds. Reboot when done.

Click here to download Ad-Aware and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Then click the gear wheel at the top and check these options:

General> activate these: "Automatically save log-file" and "Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal"

Scanning > activate these: "Scan within archives", "Scan active processes", "Scan registry", "Deep scan registry", "Scan my IE Favorites for banned sites" and "Scan my Hosts file"

Tweaks > Scanning Engine> activate this: "Unload recognized processes during scanning."

Tweaks > Cleaning Engine: activate these: "Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion" and "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."

Click "Proceed" to save your settings, then click "Start", make sure "Activate in-depth scan" is ticked green then scan your system. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?".

Reboot when done.

Make sure that you have no browser windows open as this could prevent the fix from working properly. Open HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries (if still there) by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

Reboot when done, rescan with HJT and post a new log here for a final check over.

Can you delete the Junk folder. Also, renaming the "Windows" key may have modified some security settings. Start Registrar Lite. Copy and paste the following text into the Address Bar and press 'Go':

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\\AppInit_DLLs

Right Click on the purple Windows folder in the left pane.
Select 'Properties'.
Press 'Permissions'.
Press 'Advanced'.
Remove Check Mark from 'Inherit permissions…'.
Press 'Copy'.
Highlight the group 'Everyone' (note: if this group does not exist then exit Reglite)
Select 'Remove'.
Press 'Apply' and 'OK' on all dialog boxes.
