Got a pc to look at this morning for a mate, its running vista and when I get to the desktop i get an error message stating

c:\windows\system32\wship6.dll is either not designed to run on this version or has an errror blah blah blah........

along with several of these popping up it also does not display web pages using explorer or firefox, also the globe symbol does not appear in the notification area over network connections, but I am able to ping google.com etc

any ideas?

cheers all

Any changes to the machine recently? Anything in the event logs?

I'd run a full AV scan as a start.

 

run a scan everythings coming up clean and ok,
ran a sfc/scanow aswell found corrupt files but couldnt fix them all.

any further ideas?

 

Hi

wship6.dll is a part of Windows Vista.

Default location: %WinDir%\System32\wship6.dll
%windir% is the drive letter where you have install vista, normally C:

It's better to run the System File Checker utility (SFC). This will replace any corrupted system file with the last backup version of the file. To do this:
• Click start
• Find command prompt
• Right-click command prompt, click run as administrator
• Type or copy the following command and press enter to repair only that file:
sfc /scanfile=%windir%\system32\wship6.dll

To scan all system files and repair them as needed the instruction is sfc /scannow

If it doesn't repair the file, then check http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
for the next steps

 

Try disabling IP6 and seeing if that resolves it.

 

disabled ipv6 no luck
looking at network and sharing centre its not even picking up the name of the network, still identifying, no ip settings picked up either, set ip settings myself but still no connection made

 

As above:

 

sorry mate missed that bit , certainly no hardware changes, i asked him what he was doing before this happened and hes not giving any more info than the update

 

In which case standard practice (particularly if its a mate) is to hand the machine back and say either:

ITS ALL THE PORN YOU'VE DOWNLOADED!

or

sorry, without clear information your making this harder to fix than it needs to be.

Depending on whether your in public or private.

 

lol hes an old plonker hes getting told to backup whatever he wants to keep and its getting a fresh copy of vista over the top, maybe it might jog his memory
