message at Shutdown - Regedit.dll initalization failed comes up
followed by
application failed to initalize because windows station is shutting
down
Does any one have an idea on how to fix it
I did all my scans no viruses
some times it does not come up and when it does the system shutdows
with no problem.
I do not use the function Regedit
Thanks
Bob

No such .dll file comes with Windows. You never mentioned with WHAT you
scanned for malware. Try something else.
Submit the file to virustotal.com and see if other AV scanners trigger on
it.

Regedit.dll appears to be malicious software. At least it isn't on my
machine.. Run these:
