Does anyone have any idea of what Lullaby.sys is for? All I can find is something about Asus Copyprotect Driver. My friends laptop won't load windows normally nor in safemode. It will just say A driver is missing or corrupt and the driver is lullaby.sys. Luckily he installed Ubuntu and backed up his files but I cannot find hardly any information on this file and as I don't use Vista I can't really say what it could be for.
Friends vista problems
- Thread starter Linklinker
- Start date
I run Vista and have no clue.
Well it sounds like a device driver for some component in the laptop that's made by Asus. I don't see why it would be keeping the laptop from starting up though. Can you boot into safe mode?
I would suggest putting the windows cd in, booting F8 and let it do a system repair or restore based on last known good configuration.

It does the same thing when trying to boot into safe mode. I don't even know if he has any discs to recover with as many companies try to sell them without anything other than a warning to back it up yourself. Don't most recovery discs try to wipe the harddrive and then reinstall? He wouldn't have just a vista installer disc.
Suuuure - "your friend" is running Vista. 
Look, we've all been there, man - just cut the crap, okay?
The little bit of digging I just did says it is a built-in Vista system file. Three choices that I see:
1. Locate a Vista CD - if you can borrow one for this from somewhere, that'd be good enough - and boot from it. Do the option that lets it check your system for problems and fix them. It should put the file back.
2. Copy lullaby.sys from another Vista system onto a USB driver er sumtin. Boot with Ubuntu, and manually put the file back into C:\Windows\System32. Then try booting into Vista.
3. Since the data is backed up anyway, get a copy of XP Pro, grab a legal key from somewhere (a discarded machine, perhaps), and reinstall the machine from scratch. If you have problems finding drivers, let me know - I'll be glad to provide what help I can, and I'm purty good at hunting them down. (As in, it has been part of my job for a looong time now.)
Good luck.

I'm not sure what it is, (I'm still with XP 
) but I found a link with some information about it:

Another site in google search said something about malware. I've never heard of anything like that either.

I'm afraid that there is no crap to cut. I swear to your deity of choice that I don't use vista.
My friends dad bought him a new laptop for christmas. I however do not deny that I have a vista business edition disc lying around somewhere but that was a freebie.He will probably reinstall from his recovery discs if he has them but he came to me for help on finding information on that file. I of course posted on a trek board.
Really, I figured that. But the other way let me try to make with teh funny.
Yes I know but I can't have you dishonoring me and my house.
Really though, I just want him to install xp if he does reformat or he could stick with linux but he does like to play games on his computer and I don't really want to have to help him figure out how to do it on Linux. He might as well just have a duel boot setup with xp and linux.

The 2 minutes of searching I did leads me to believe it's a 3rd party driver from Asus, so you're not going to find it on a Vista install disk unless it's the manufacturer's disk that was shipped with the computer.
