My new Win2k PC has been installed for four days now. Each time I log on I get the error: WINBATCH RUNTIME ERROR #9999. After that Fatal error message that says DLL(S) NOT FOUND OR CREATED. I thought it could be the virus, but I scanned for viruses.

This has been reported after a magistrar infection but I have also seen it after a failed software installation. Try and boot to Safe Mode. If you can, look in the winnt directory for any winbatch.* files and either move them or delete them. You should also use either RegEdit or MSCOnfig (from a win98 or winME pc) and look for the offending startup options calling the winbatch files. With RegEdit (back up your registry first) look under the keys Current User and Local Machine Software->Microsoft->Current Version->Run (and RunOnce) for any entries calling out the winbatch file. Either delete or move the entries to a new key (like run_old). If you use MSConfig just disable the entries. Then try and boot normally.

Let us know what happens.
