Not sure if this is a bios problem but here goes anyhow. When booting up I get the message "error loading c:windows\bxxs5.dll". System restore does not help. What do I do?
This is not a problem with the Dimension BIOS, the topic of this forum. You are infected with spyware and malware. In particular, you have installed the Bookspaced piece of crud malware. To get rid of this and any other bad stuff lurking on your computer, download, install, update, and run Ad-Aware and Spybot and let these programs remove all of the garbage that they find.

If you continue having problems like this, post a message in the Virus/Spyware Information and Removal forum rather than the BIOS forum.
