re: Stmgr caused an error in WINTRUST.DLL Monday, July 15, 2002 at 1:55 am Posted by Jack Gulley (5917 messages posted) Sounds like a virus is trying to corrupt your system by shutting down stmgr or has managed to corrupt stmgr. Try booting into Safe Mode (hold left Ctrl key down before the initial Windows ME splash screen) and see if you can get windows up at all. If not you will have to boot the system with a Windows ME recovery boot diskette. Look for any WINK???.exe files that indicate an infection with the Klez virus (from DOS prompt enter: ATTRIB /S WINK*.*). You may also need to restore the stmgr file from the CAB files if it is infected. You may need to get some experianced help to take a look at the system or run some Anti-Virus tools on it. Need a lot more information on what is wrong.

Unable to start on Safe Mode. Typing attrib /s wink*.* at the a: prompt returns a 'File Not Found - wink*.*' message. Typed it at C: didn't do anything. Tried to start windows by typing Win at prompt returned this message.."While initializing device IFSMGR..The Microsoft Installable File System Mgr cannot fine helper driver. Ensure IFSHLP.SYS is installed...System halted." Looks like Klez already won. I may need to reformat my drive. Thanks again.

Now this worked for me and I take no responsability for anyone elses computer.....But here's an easy fix... Do a search files for stmgr. An icon that looks like a barcode and says stmgr under it should come up. Delete it. It is not a neccessary file. I don't know how it got onto my computer but I deleted it and it's now running like a top with NO error messages.

I've called Microsoft and they refused to help me, because they say it's Dell's problem. When I called Dell, I work with a service person (in Bombay, India - thanks Dell for sending those jobs out of the country...we need more Americans out of work). He tried to have me do numberous things, in which none of them worked. He said my next step was to completely re-install Windows. He also said I should never do a "Windows Update".

I have researched this for weeks trying to rid my self of quite a few error messages and I am happy to say everything that I did in the past few days did the job. I have an 8 year old comuter that is booting up like a new one. I am positive that this file was a Windows bug file. They want to make it neccessary for us to HAVE to upgrade to XP and so on and so on. Please let me know if it worked for you!!

I have learned that you CAN do them (I did a couple last night) But you have to know how to work the bugs out afterwards. Can't say for sure if the updates really do very much for our computers.....

I've tried everything and nothing worked. This fixed my problem with the WINTRUST.DLL and stmgr error and the lack of restore capabilities which all started after I downloaded the MS security fix in Dec 2005. Restore works again!!! The MS support was non existent on this one--which they caused with their huge security fix!!
