What Is "ONSIO Service"

[Pat Jones]

Applications fail (taskmgr, control-alt-delete) will not function due to =
will not start due to file specified file missing.

What is it and how do I restore it??? sfc /scannow does not work.

smss.exe = Windows NT Session Manager

[[Application that is used to start, manage, and delete user sessions or
client sessions under Terminal Server.]]
[[SMSS is the Session Manager SubSystem. SMSS’s purpose is to start,
manage, and delete user sessions (or client sessions under Terminal Server).
Under Terminal Server the management part includes dealing with the
different subsystems (OS/2, Win32, POSIX) which a client session may wish to
run.
Recommendation :
An integral part of the operating system, leave alone.]]
======================
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386 ???

Are you saying that smss.exe does not run??
I find that hard to beleive.

Which file do you want to rename and run sfc on? I am unclear on
which file.

When you run System File Checker (sfc), do you have to insert your
XP CD in your CD drive? Or does sfc use your i386 folder from your hard
drive?
Are you on a network? Where you ever on a network?
What is the path to i386? i.e. C:\i386 C;\somethinghere\i386
============

VDMDBG.DL_ is a compressed version of VDMDBG.DLL. Note the last character
is an underscore ( _ ). That shows that it's a compressed file. Like a
zipped file, only WinZip can't expand it.
================

How to expand and rename VDMDBG.DL_ to vdmdbg.dll.
vdmdbg.dll should be in C:\WINDOWS\system32 *AND*
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache. So you have to expand twice
or copy vdmdbg.dll from one file to the other after expanding.
---------
Open a command prompt window.
Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK
This is for expanding from the XP CD.
Insert your XP CD into the drive and enter the following (or Copy and Paste)
command:

EXPAND -R X:\I386\VDMDBG.DL_ Z:\WINDOWS\system32\vdmdbg.dll

Then hit your Enter key.

NOTE :
Change X to = your CD drive letter i.e C {Source}
Change Z to = your hard drive letter i.e. D {Destination}
---

Open a command prompt window. Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK
This is for axpanding from your hard drive.
Enter the following (or Copy and Paste) command:

EXPAND -R X:\I386\VDMDBG.DL_ Z:\WINDOWS\system32\vdmdbg.dll

Then hit your Enter key.

NOTE :
If you found VDMDBG.DL_ on your hard drive. You need to
change X to = your hard drive letter with the actuall path.
The Source and Destination drive letters will be the same.
But the paths will differ.

I really do hope this helps. Post back either way. :o)

Wes:

Let's see if I can answer the question and thank you enough for your =
help. Everything is working fine now!!!! :)

I did not mean that smss.exe was not working - only that when you click =
on it, it would not open.

I shortcut your expand as I did find VDMDBG.DL_ on the harddrive. I =
did; however, have to change the location to "WINNT\system" instead of =
"WINDOWS" and add file to "WINNT\dllcache\vdmdbg.dll". Anyway, all =
three factions - control-alt-delete, control-shift-escape and right =
click on the taskbar.

I can not thank you enough!! You are my new HERO!!!! :0) :) :>

Pat;

I love it when a plan comes together.

Did you upgrade to XP? I upgraded from Win98, so I missed
a lot of steps. :o) i.e. \WNNT\ So I didn't even think of it.

smss.exe, the way I understand it, isn't something you can run.
The system uses it.
---------

Don't forget.
http://www.dougknox.com/

Click on: Win XP Utilities in the left-hand pane
Click on: Create Emergency Copies of Critical XP System
Utilities (Regedit, MSConfig and Task Manager)
Click on: xp_emegencyutil.exe
---------
That way you'll be all set the next time.

I have>>
C:\EmergencyUtils\
MSConfig1.exe
Regedit.com
Taskmgr1.exe

Hope this helps. Let us know.
