Yo guys. RyanThunder here.
Today I've got a problem on my hands. Last night I got a brand new sound card (Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio). After installing the drivers and everything, I went into Device Manager and had Windows check for any updates to the driver (bad move, I know now). Windows seemed to have found something, and began copying over folders, but then a fatal error popped up (can't remember what it said), a blue screen flashed, and my computer restarted. When I log back in, these DLL errors pop-up:
Heading: RunDLL32.exe - Entry Point Not Found
Text: The procedure entry point _except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll.
Heading: RUNDLL
Text: Error loading P17RunE.dll. The specified procedure could not be found.
So, my sound card drivers had been fucked up. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled everything that was related to the sound card. The sound card now works just fine, except now I get these annoying popups on my desktop every time I boot up my computer. I get the feeling that the DLLs the popups specified are just corrupt.
Well, how do I go about fixing something like this?

Nevermind, I got it. Turns it was something that my sound card did after all. I guess it was some kind of corrupt install or something.
In any case, I cleaned it up with a program called RegCleaner and just simply deleted P17RunE.dll. Sound card works fine...everything works great!
