1. I'd uninstall and reinstall the software that uses PX.DLL
2. I'll write no. Today's software is far from perfect. Nothing you did may have caused this failure as well as all those pests and spyware that again is not your fault. You can't stop this from happening again outside of jumping ship to something like Linux. And even there we have issues.

I am ruuning Sonic Record Now 7 on Windows XP Packard Bell imdedia PC which i got as standard pre-installed on my computer when i bought it. It was working for the first few months but now when i try and run it an error message comes up sayin:
"The ordinal 2230 could not be located in the dynamic link library PX.dll"
Does anyone know how to fix this problem and how to avoid it hapening again?
