I have Lenovo laptop with xp running on it. Recently I installed a network printer from my office to get some printouts. It was installed successfully without any error. After detaching I am getting a continuous error message error " locating \3\lxcrtime.dll ". Whenever my system boots ups the error is shown. I think when i connected the system to the network it got affected by other infected computer. The virus entered my laptop through the network. I want some more information on " locating \3\lxcrtime.dll " error. Is it a virus or just a some corrupt file of printer driver.
