    Sup people. I have an Asus F8 and when I start the notebook I get the following message:

    "Error loading C:'Users....' yATJdBQG.dll

    The specified module could not be found."

    I couldn't find the .dll file on any website. I'm using Vista Premium 32-bit. Can anyone upload?

    Hmmm, I guess one of the more fuzzy programs is to blame for this, like ASUS utilities and whatnot, try running msconfig and uncheck the running of programs that are not important on startup, you might find the guilty party.

    That's a strange name for a dll? :) Maybe run a full scan of the computer for viruses/whateverware, just to be on the safe side.

    I just bought this thing and I didn't even connect myself yet :p

    After doing the clean up in the infobooth this happened so I guess that's the source of my problem.

    How do I use the biometric fingerprint reader? Doesn't seem to be anything mentioned in the User Manual.

    What ASUS software did you remove? Maybe try installing back, one by one, to see if the problem goes away.

    Meh, it's a troublesome process. I think I will just ask someone to get the file so I can put it back in it's right place.

    that doesn't sound like a normal dll. i'd do what mujtaba said and remove the startup items from msconfig. whatever is loading this dll will almost certainly be listed there.
