BSOD due to base????32 John Doe 06-03-2008

There is some sort of infector going around that injects itself into the
boot sequence of XP that randomly names itself "base????32" (where the last
4 or 5 letters are random, but the first 4 are always base & the last 2 are
always 32) & causes the machine to fail on boot up because it cannot find
this file:

STOP: c0000135 {Unable To Locate Component}
This application has failed to start because baseokfrf32 was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

This usually occurs after removing the winantivituspro infector (clearly the
anti-malware people haven't figured out how to remove this properly yet!).

Any ideas on how to repair this issue without having to do an XP repair
install? Or where XP gets the command to look for the file? I can't seem
to find a "boot.sys" or any such file that references it, and obviously
can't go into the registry to look for it . . .

I've tried going into the Recovery Console & doing fixboot, fixmbr, chkdsk
/p /r etc but no good.

Try msconfig.exe to avoid running this file at start-up.

If you are unsure how to do this a web search for msconfig +windows +startup
will find you a tutorial on troubleshooting start-up problems.

It does not show up in msconfig, nor sysinternals' process explorer,
autoruns, etc.

It's in the boot sequence somewhere; can anyone knowledgeable about the XP
boot sequence shed any light on this? Where can I start looking for this
reference & remove it?

STOP: c0000135 {Unable To Locate Component}
This application has failed to start because baseokfrf32 was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

It sounds like a service and/or driver. Look in Services
(Start>Run>services.msc) and see if anything appears there. If not, try
clean-boot troubleshooting:

Clean boot in Windows XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353
Clean-boot advanced troubleshooting in Windows XP -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434

You didn't say (or I missed it) whether you can get into Safe Mode or Last
Known Good Configuration. If you can't do either of those things, then
you'll need to access the registry from outside Windows. A Bart's PE or ERD
Commander can do it.

Thanx - I'll check out these resources. I shoulda mentioned, I cannot get
into safe mode, last known good, or anything. I'll try a Bart PE build &
see what that does for me; once I boot up using Bart, 1) how do I access the
Registry, & 2) where am I looking to remove this offencer?
