[mahendran]

recently,after the boot up an error message appears.

"this application failed to start because vADVAP132.dll was not found.reinstalling the same may solve the problem"

my os win xp pro sp3.

I have tried,sfc and reinstalling the ADVAP132.dll from a download source.

I am not able boot with xp cd for a repairing,eventhough bios is configured to boot so.

my cd drive of the note book is damaged as such using an external usb drive.

can anyone guide?

I guess to u can boot into desktop & encounter this message after that...
as the error message is self-explanatory but the DLL is of which application?

Try running in safe mode and if you can then restore your PC to previous state.

[mithun_mrg]

Try these solutions mentioned here
Advapi32.dll - Advapi32.dll Not Found Error - Missing Advapi32.dll - Fix Advapi32.dll

i also think system restore should take care of the Problem

[mahendran]

system restore wont work as it was turned off.

I had tried most of things suggested by mithun.after that only i had made the above post.

any other suggestion?

[mithun_mrg]

Try reinstalling SP3 and see

[mahendran]

try reinstalling sp3 alone or entire os along with sp3?

SP3 alone...
but if u have time then OS + SP3

[mahendran]

I had re installed xp with sp3,but still same error.

I guess your source itself is corrupted.

yes could be one of the reasons

Try googling the missing file. And if you think its not necessary and doesnt hamper any other software then, use a startup manager like C cleaner to disable the app which needs it. It should stop the error to pop up, during system startup.

this is the system file of winXP SP2...

[mahendran]

I have tried my best to avoid this annoying pop up during start up.

the above dll is there in my system 32. I had deleted the same and reinstalled again as suggested by google search.

I have c cleaner and can anyone tell me as to how can I disable this using ccleaner?
