c:\WINDOWS\system32\rundl32.exe application not found

Similar Questions

• When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

  Original title: rundll.exe error

  I checked the previous messages and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  Recently I ran 3 different scans, i.e. sbybot, avast and Malawarebytes virus. After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners. Every time I tried, would open a window saying "Choose the program you want to use to open this file." If I try to download a new virus scanner, it says the same thing.

  When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found. I checked this file on my c: drive\system 32 and see the rundll.exe file. I also copy and pasted the file rundll.exe my CD of Windows XP in c: Windows\System32

  Everything else seems to work fine on my computer, and I get no message on the rundll.exe file when the computer starts up first.

  Any help would be popular!

• C:Windows/system32/rundll32.exe - Application not found - OK__I get this error message when you try to open a program

  Error messages occur now - seem to appear now, after I did a Defrag.  If I try to open AOL, it brings me to a display list who wants to choose from a list of programs.  For AOL, I click on AOL.  I didn't used to have to select from a list of display.  Then I tried to open an Astrology program and it took me to the same list, which of course is not.  Now, I get the same error as follows: C:Windows/system32/rundll32.exe - Application not found - OK

  Here's a Plan:

  Goto, start system restore restore Menu\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System

  Now select the oldest Restore Point and restore your computer, but first make sure that you have an external drive.

  After that C:\Windows\System32\Rundll32.exe copy the external drive and the disc is ejected

  Open the system restore and undo restore

  After the undo operation is copy the Rundll32.exe in the road to C:\Windows\System32

  and the problem solved

  Note: the rundll32.exe should be missed recently and you should have an old Restore Point which contains a file Rundll32.exe Intact

• Error box that says: C:\Windows\system32\winver.exe application not found

  I have problems to run many of my programs. I recently had my laptop worked on and now can't open itunes for example.  I tried to uninstall and install the program, but it still will not work. My firefox opens not either. It says that it cannot open this type of file, because it is unable to recognize. Please let me know what to do.

• Error - EPPkt.sys and c:\windows\system32\drivers\afw.sys not found and fix crashes in Windows XP Pro computer.

  Original title: during repair XP Pro from the disk installation, everything crashes.

  I am writing this plea on my desktop, pc Win 7 it. The pc is older and elsewhere in the House.

  Due to the white/white space in Add/Remove Programs, after checking the extent of possible for viruses, corruption Reg, etc., the advice of consensus was to reinstall the Windows, using the disc (this XP Pro was on the HARD drive when I got the pc - new to 2009 - and I did the back-up recommended/controlled , and that's what I was doing Rcounter Set up, around 1700 BST.

  Everything seemed to go OK, but black screen of Windows is now the small hourglass circulating and 'Please wait '.  The HARD drive is flickering, but it's been more than 3 hours!

  My second pc was rotten, and I had to reinstall or repair XP Home [disk] a few times. It is only 35 GB, compared to more than 100 on the pc in question - but I've never met before delay.

  Installation messages were as follows:

  EPPkt.sys and c:\windows\system32\drivers\afw.sys not found.  I checked this point, and it should not have caused any problems. It has also sought a labeled disc 'Machine Virtual Network Services', which no doubt, since I did not, was never necessary.

  I'll leave it on - but...

  Help, please!

  Well, I had to bow to the inevitable. Please accept this response as a ' I've been there - it could happen to you. "

  I spoke to BT [they provide my broadband] and the helpful guy asked me to look at the installation and reinstall in a different place. It's OK, but [, BUT] some of the drivers have been zapped in eternity. PCI, sounds, videos. The guy thought BT that these had been modified or replaced since the beginning, whereas they were not available. The XP Prof is on the pc when I got it, but I assumed that the pilots were on the backup disk, I did. No, they were not. And how to go online to search for them if we could not put in place the ethernet connection?
  So, I bought Win - 7 it 32-bit full ed. [be too afraid to try an upgrade].

  It could have been a response in the migration of these from other drivers, but I guess it was time to go.

  As I can't afford to buy new COREL, MS Word, etc, I have installed free VMWare player as a host for my older progs in a virtual environment.

  Another thing came out of this: although what remained of XP has been saved by 7 as WINDOWS.old, I am very happy that I had a HDD eternal with ntfs to preserve my files and installable 3rd party progs.

  I hope this might help someone - thanks for the info.

• you want to reinstall C:\windows\system32\rundl32.exe which was deleted by mistake?

  By mistake I deleted the program microsoft C:\windows\system\rundl32.exe from my laptop. Because of this I can't add or delete any program.

  Could you please help me reinstall the program above of microsoft?

  Because the file of rundll32.exe is supported by the Windows File Protection, should be an extra effort to remove it (unless you are in Mode without failure).

  If it never happens "missing" (even if you remove it on purpose) PAM should quickly and quietly replace it using the backup copy in the dllcache folder, and record an event like this in the case where the system log viewer:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Windows File Protection
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 64002
  Description:
  File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512.

  That being said (educational fodder for Microsoft hired 'experts' Support Engineer):

  I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\System32
  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
  https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called rundll32 when the name of the file should really be called rundll32.exe (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

• Dell Dock exe "application not found" error after cleaning malware virus and fix registry problems

  Hey guys!, I had a problem with malware. (In particular this Vista Internet Security * who seems to knock everyone). I fixed this problem as well as the issue with the thing of my Microsoft Security (which sets the windows Defender) and then I went through and fixed my registry problems who came later as some aftereffect of the virus. (Phew!) Now that it is finally all done I click on my dock dell to go to internet explore and BAM! "Application not found" in an area which the header indicates dell dock.exe. Now I just got through my fixing registry problems so that I have all my .exe programs can open without a problem. All other issues are resolved except this! What's wrong?! Please, someone help. (I can get Internet explore any other way, but it's not my PC and I don't want the owner to think I broke it) PS Can't do system restore I would lose my updates which are very necessary can't do a registry fix because I already did and I don't want to mess with it again is not sure if reinstall dell dock should solve the problem I just install IE9 and all my other icons in dell dock work very well

  also run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

  If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation
