  Hello

  Rundll32 errors can be caused by malware.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• Updates Windows has been stuck in a loop and had error message update failed, when he restored it deleted my office 2013 at home and students.

  I have the Microsoft product identifier. How can I download it turn it on for my Lenovo thinkpad?

  Hello Tina,

  Thank you for the update.

  As you said that you run refresh and reset the computer this is the reason why the Microsoft Office application that you have installed has been removed after completing the refresh as the applications that came with your PC or you installed on Windows Store will be reinstalled automatically, but all the apps you have installed other Web sites and DVD is deleted. Windows puts a list of applications on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

  After reset, all of your personal files will be deleted and your settings will be reset. All the apps the East came with your PC will be reinstalled, but other applications or programs will be removed.

  So, you will need to reinstall the office application and see if that helps.

  Hope this information helps. Otherwise, feel free to write us again for more assistance, and we will be happy to help you come.

  Hello
  
  What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
  Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
  Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
  Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

  If you have a genuine copy of Windows XP, after you install Windows XP you can contact support for Microsoft's Activation to activate the copy of Windows XP.

  Method 1:

  Note: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  Back up the registry - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry
