Error “The application or DLL c:\windows\system32\mcenspc.dll is not a valid windows image please check this against our installation diskette.”
Error”The application or DLL c:\windows\system32\mcenspc.dll is not a valid windows image please check this against our installation diskette”
Cause for the Problem
We might get this if the file mcenspc.dll is leftout while uninstalling some program or when attempted to elimitate spyware or malware through spyware scan.
Suggestions
This proved not to be a threat and it is safe to remove from the Computer. To do this :
1. Click Start -> Run -> Type System32 -> Ok
2. Look for mcenspc.dll
3. Right Click on the file and click Delete
4. Reboot the computer
If its vista computer that freezes on booting to desktop
There are many instances such as 2 of them as below
A) Computer freezes every 10 minutes and stabilize itself on cycle (freezing at regular intervals)
B) Unable to shutdown the Computer Hangs on “Logging Off”
Cause
Network Location Awareness Service
The Network Location Awareness service provider, commonly referred to as NLA, enables Windows Sockets 2 applications to identify the logical network to which a Windows computer is attached. In addition, NLA enables Windows Sockets applications to identify to which physical network interface a given application has saved specific information. NLA is implemented as a generic Windows Sockets 2 Name Resolution service provider.
In order to perform this it sends a packets as broadcasts to which it would be awaiting reply back from the devices over the network if a Router or DSL modem cum router is not compactible with this broadcast it would block or would not respond to pass throught the reply and the computer would be awaiting for the reply and would hang on “Logging Off” or freeze for a moment and repeats this in a cycle
Resolution
Before working on the computer disable the Network Location Awareness in the services
Open the services.msc, Stop it > try to work on the computer for some time
If the computer working normally without freezing at regular intervals, then it’s an issue with the Wireless Router or the wireless Cable modem cum router Contact the Router company tech support and get the router firmware updated this should resolve the issue .if not then it’s some other networking device on the local network make list of the devices on the network and find out which is pre vista era and see if you can update its firmware.
