Here are some solutions that  helped me out of this problem and i hope it would do this to you too:

go to start menu Assesries , systom tools , systom restore & choose a old date & go to naxt button
then ur systome requirs a restart i think ur problume can solve in this proces.
  • First try System restore.     Go to start menu ->Accessories-> system tools-> systom restore .
  • start – run – type to this cmd .insert a cd and following this stap (x means cd rom)   X:\MS32DLL.dll.vbs_ c:\MS32DLL.dll.vbs
  • start>run>type regedit>then click in f3>and search for mountpoints2…and delete all of it.i hope your problem solved.
  • Another solution
  1. Install “unlocker” from FileHippo.com
  2. Double-click on My Computer on Desktop.
  3. Choose Tools and select “Folder options”
  4. Click on “View” tab, select “Show Hidden files and folders” and uncheck “Hide Extention….”
  5. Click on “Hide protected operating system files” (these selections are important to find the files you need to delete)/
  6. Click “OK.”
  7. Search for the file autorun.inf and delete it permanently
  8. Go to C:\RECYCLER. The search you previously performed will show you what folder where the autorun.inf is. Right click the folder and click Unlocker. Choose unlock, then delete.
  • Here is another and last way
  1. Double-click on My Computer on Desktop.
  2. Choose Tools and select “Folder options”
  3. Click on “View” tab, select “Show Hidden files and folders” and uncheck “Hide Extention….”
  4. Click on “Hide protected operating system files” (these selections are important to find the files you need to delete)/
  5. Click “OK.”

3. Open Windows Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del) and select the “Processes” tab 
- Click on “Image name” to sort the list 
- Find “wscript.exe” and click on “End Process” (if there is more than one process with that name you have to end all of them)
- Close Windows Task Manager. 

4. Click on Start and select “Search” and search for “autorun.inf” (search the computer) 
- Delete all the files that contain the text MS32DLL.dll.vbs (the virus) by pressing Shift+Delete. (There obviously should not be Autorun.inf in the C: root). 

5. You will also delete the virus from the system (C:\WINDOWS\ MS32DLL.dll.vbs) by pressing g Shift+Delete. 

6. Next you have to edit the Register. (Please not that you have to be very careful in the Registry tools; certain mistakes in the Registry can crash your computer) 
- Click on “Start” and select “Run” and type in “Regedit” and press “Enter”. 
- Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –> Software –>Microsoft –>Windows –> Current Version –> Run. 
- Find “MS32DLL” and delete that entry. 

7. Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER –> Software –> Microsoft –> Internet Explorer –> Main. There you find Window Title “Hacked by Godzilla” and you should delete that entry. You can close the Registry now. 

8. Click on Start –> Run and type in “gpedit.msc” and press “Enter.” 
– Open “Group Policy”: select User Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> System –> and there you will double click on “Turn Off Autoplay” 
- In the window there you should select “Enabled” and select “All drives” (they say in a certain Thai website that select all turn of Autoplay will be safer for not getting viruses). Now you can close the Group Policy. 

9. Click on Start –> Run and type “msconfig” and press “Enter”. 
- Open “System Configuration Utility”. 
- Click on “Startup” tap 
- Find the file MS32DLL, choose Enable All, then uncheck “MS32DLL” 
- Click Apply and then OK to close 
- Exit the “System Configuration Utility” and select “Exit Without Restart” when prompt. 

10. After this, double-click on My Computer and select “Tools” and “Folder Options” and “View” tap to change back there. 
- select “Hide Extention…” and “Hide protected operating system file” and “Don’t show hidden files and folders”. 
- Empty the “Recycle bin” and “Restart” your computer.

I hope and sure that ur problem would have solved.

Tweaking windows vista

Some Tips for tweaking vista:


  • If you’re annoyed by Internet Explorer’s incessant barking that you’ve lowered your security settings (like, if you’re a non-paranoid expert), launch “gpedit.msc” from either the Run command or Start Search field, navigate through Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Internet Explorer. In the rightmost pane, double-click “Turn off the Security Settings Check feature” and set it to Enabled.
  • If Internet Explorer’s Information Bar also annoys you, you can turn it off (again) in the Group Policy Object Editor (gpedit.msc) through Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Internet Explorer / Security Features. In the rightmost pane, double-click “Internet Explorer Processes” and set it to Disabled. Hallelujah!
  • I’ve just mentioned two tweaks that are buried inside the Group Policy Editor. Jim Allchin pointed out that there’s a Group Policy Settings Reference spreadsheet available. Makes for great weekend reading.
  • Read the Background on Backgrounds if you’re a performance junkie. Don’t set your wallpaper through Internet Explorer ever again! Now that Windows supports JPG wallpapers, there’s absolutely no need (or excuse) for using BMPs anymore.
  • If you insist on keeping UAC (User Account Control) turned on for yourself, you might care to make the elevation prompts a bit less visually jarring. Brandon told me about this one, even though I have UAC turned off. Launch the Local Security Policy manager (secpol.msc), and navigate through Security Settings / Local Policies / Security Options. In the rightmost pane, scroll to the bottom and double-click “User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktopwhen prompting for elevation.” Disable it, and you can keep UAC turned on without getting turned off by the embarrassingly craptacular Aero Basic theme.
  • Vista can send you emails! The Computer Management tool can still be accessed by right-clicking “Computer” and selecting “Manage” from the menu. However, now you can attach a task to any event. Try navigating through System Tools / Event Viewer / Windows Logs / Application. Now, go ahead and select an event – then look to the rightmost pane and click “Attach Task to This Event.” Name it whatever, describe it however, click through the next step, then in the Action step, you’ll see the “Send an e-mail” option.
  • The Windows Task Manager gives you a lot more troubleshooting information in Vista. Flip to the Processes tab, and in the View menu, click “Select Columns” and add Description, Command Line, and Image Path Name. Moreover, when you right-click a process, you can select either “Go to Service(s)” or “Open File Location.” These are all long overdue options.
  • This one’s interesting. Open up the Date and Time Control Panel applet. Flip to the “Additional Clocks” tab. There, you can configure two more clocks from different time zones. They’ll appear in the tooltip when you hover over the Taskbar clock. No additional software (or silly sidebar widgets) necessary.
  • Applicable in other versions of Windows, I’m going to throw it in here for good measure. Create a shortcut to RegSvr32.exe in your SendTo folder. To get there quickly, enter “shell:sendto” in the Run command dialog or Start Search field. Now, when you wanna register a DLL or OCX file with the system, you can select it/them and “Send To” the RegSvr32 shortcut.
  • I figured I’d round out my first set of Windows Vista tips and tricks with a tiny bit of eye candy. It doesn’t beat Picasa, but the Windows Photo Gallery is better than nothing. Once it’s indexed all your photos, click the icon next to the Search field and turn on the “Table of Contents.” That’s kinda nifty.
