How to remove the shortcut from Control Panel wxp sp3 nindia
I recently had one installed in my dell computor and the installed nividia graphics card updated driver from microsoft update was installed when I restarted computor I couldn't set the right res sreen and atempeted to go back to the previous driver and no video after reboot had to pull the agp card and use the onboard video , now I have a shortcut in my control panel ninvida nveiw I can't remove any help here please thanks David
Are there NVIDIA stuff in Add/Remove programs to uninstall you since you do not use?
What happens if you right-click on the offending Panel element and choose delete it?
In General, it is never a good idea to accept and updates from Microsoft hardware Diver (video, audio, network, etc.).
Microsoft doesn't know what kind of drivers you need, so if they are available, their decline and say MS Update never offer them to you again if you do not accidentally install their.
If you need hardware drivers, it is best to get them directly from the World Wide Wide Web site for the manufacturer of your hardware device.
If you have a nice NVIDIA card that is larger than your integrated graphics, you may want to consider to see if you can make it work!

I recently installed sp3 on my computor he had sp2 now when I access panel, I can't run any programs like display or add or remove programs or internet con. I tried the system restore but it will not go forward or backward I always got the error this file \WIndows\system32\rundll32.exe'. is not on the hard drive that I can reistall sp 2 with sp3 hope somone can help thanks lindell wood
If you have installed SP3 and now the file is missing, the opinion of the Support Engineer Microsoft won't help you unless you have a genuine XP installation CD also is Service Pack 3.
That's extremely unlikely, unless you did it yourself and some people have never seen a real installation of XP bootable CD in their life then, how is this will help... But, this is a link to a Microsoft KB article.
When you try to open a control panel applet, you see a message like this:
Control Panel
Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.If the file is actually missing, it was probably quarantined (actually deleted) programmatically your antivirus or anti-malware not specified that you use.
You might want to reconsider anything not stated antivirus or antimalware you programs use and whether or not they are effective to protect your system.
You can look in the c:\windows\system32 folder and see if the file is actually missing or not, but you should replace it somehow.
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:
http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311When 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.
That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

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!

Hi kipepeoliciousslemani,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2 when was the last time it was working fine?
3. it happens with all programs you are trying to open?
Method 1
See the Microsoft article below and run the fixit tool available (good for Windows XP so shims), check if it helps.
When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505
Method 2
If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check.

original title: missing file
Miss me the windows system32 rundll32.exe. I can't access the Add/Remove in the control panel.
I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system
I checked for viruses
I purchase software to remove etc and REG files.
Now that the devil do?
Thank you
If this
I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system
means that you have tried to use sfc/scannow from start > run, your experience is not surprising. This 'solution' is often suggested by people who don't really understand what this command does. It does not help to restore a missing rundll32.exe file.
For what is
I checked for viruses
What is the name and version of your anti-virus application? When (approximately) their subscription expires? What other antimalware applications installed? What other antimalware applications you used recently to scan your computer?
If you have not yet used the "software to remove the REG files and etc." return for refund or throw it out. "Registry cleaners", 'tuners', etc. are not useful. If you used to "clean" the registry, use its "undo" feature (if it has one) to restore the registry. Longtime MS MVP PA Bear:
TIP: If you still think again your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, enlarged, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions. See also http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx
What probably happened is that your antivirus application deleted or quarantined in your file rundll32.exe thinking he was infected. He could have, but probably not. In any case, read the post that begins, "That 'solution' is not on my list." in the following thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/systemrundllexe-not-found/6e30aff2-a88e-4d86-a654-753d54f632d1 you can also read the rest of the posts in this thread.
Note that c:\windows\system32\dllcache is a hidden folder, but you who type in the address bar of Windows Explorer (or copy and paste), the folder should open anyway.
Assuming you manage to restore rundll32.exe, download, install, update and run full scans (not at the same time) with each of the following free tools.

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

You might want to reconsider some anti-virus or anti-malware software, you use and whether or not they are effective to protect your system.
You can look in the c:\windows\system32 folder and see if the file is actually missing or not, but if it is really missing, you must replace it somehow.
Since the file is one of the protected files 3498 who cares about XP, needed a backup copy of the file on your system in a few other cases. You must do what the message says and search for the file.
Click Start, search, for files and folders... and in the search box, enter:
Rundll32.exe
The click the search button to search for you the hard drive for a copy of the missing file.
You can find a copy of the file that is missing in these folders:
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386If you find a copy in one of these two files, copy and paste it in the c:\windows\system32 folder. There may be other files rundll32.exe on your system of MS updates, but they can only be those you need (they could work maybe).
Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.
If you cannot find a copy of the file in one of these two places, there is one on my SkyDrive, you can download. Here's how:
I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

Note that advice to run sfc/scannow will not replace a file rundll32.exe missing in the system32 folder. If you need to prove that to yourself, I also have instructions for it.

Hi kipepeoliciousslemani,This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.Follow the steps listed in the article for this problem: -
C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application missing - this is the error I get trying to start programs from the start menu. Also, I get errors on the .exe files in the control panel. I can't pull up in my sound options to change the speakers to the headphones, it affects everything. I have the rundll32.exe file but for some reason it isn't let me pull up anything. I can pull some things as an administrator. Most of the programs will shoot to the top of the window 'Open with' and I don't really know what opens to some things, like the sound options window.
