• 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!

• Windows Defender for add or remove programs in the taskbar, but...

  When you attempt to add or remove programs in the task bar , I get the message to turn on Windows Defender. However, I use Microsoft Security Essentials and I was told that MSE takes over and won't allow WD run. In addition, I don't see choice through MSE for add or remove programs in the taskbar. All solutions?

  I was trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar. What do I need to uninstall to get there? In addition, I want to have MSE appear on the taskbar, and it isn't currently. I guess I'm trying to disable a startup program...

  RE: trying to prevent a program from appearing in my taskbar
  Can you not a RIGHT click on the program icon that is on the taskbar > click "unpin this program from the taskbar?

  RE: MSE appears in the taskbar
  Create a MSE shortcut on your desktop > drag the shortcut to the taskbar

  No, what you wrote, you don't want to disable anything of the program startup list.
  If you do, please give me the name of the program.

• 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

• I can not manually remove a particular program to add tool / remove programs.

  I use XP Pro . Pack 3.

  All, but I can't manually remove a particular program from the add tool / remove programs. The program is "Ulead VideoStudio 8.0"

  The registry of the program given below entry between the quotation marks. I ran Microsoft FixIt (diagnose and correct program installation and uninstallation problems automatically) and she confirmed she fixed the error with success, but as I retried to remove said adding tool program / remove programs, it still reflects the same as we. The problem by deleting this program remained pending.

  SYMPTOM:

  I TRY TO REMOVE THE PROGRAM FROM THE ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS TOOL,-instead of OPEN the "UNINSTALL PROGRAM", SETUP PROGRAM OPENS RATHER AND ALSO request THAT THE registration KEY into the HOUSE.

  AS I ENTER THE KEY of RECORD, THE PROGRAM CONTINUE to INSTALL , BUT ends UP WITH a BOX of DIALOGUE of MESSAGE LIKE "'THE PROGRAM IS ALREADY INSTALLED IN MY COMPUTER:" "

  SO I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE LEFT BUT TO STOP THE INSTALLATION (IT IS NOT AN UNINSTALL PROGRAM) WITH THE REST OF THE PROBLEM UNRESOLVED.

  NOW WHAT CAN I DO ELSE?

• Add or remove programs? Uninstall it says invalid or data has been corrupted, will not continue.

  Add or remove programs. The program I want to uninstall it is Printmaster 150.00 MB. I tried to uninstall it but uninstall it says invalid or data has been corrupted,

  will not continue. How to get out he computer?

  If you have the original installation media, a method that often works when an uninstall program is corrupt is to reinstall the app and then uninstall it.

  Otherwise, you could try free Revo Uninstaller or see http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/comphelp/msg081415488395.html (unfortunately, the link to the manual uninstall instructions doesn't work; support for Broderbund software has been adopted by Encore.com, the search engine it leaves something to be desired; however, you can ask for help in a forum yet http://forums.encoreusa.com/).

  How to contact Technical Support (it is not clear if all Printmaster versions are still supported; I would try telephone assistance rather than on the web):

  The following (below the line *) comes from a post on the support forums forum moderator yet.  I have not linked to it because earlier in the post, it is suggested to use a registry cleaner in the manual uninstall.  Certainly, I do NOT recommend to use any registry cleaner.

  *************************************************************************************************************
  NOTE: this message does not apply to PrintMaster 2.0 or Print Shop 2.0.

  Broderbund programs, including (but not limited to) print shop, PrintMaster, designer of Scrapbook memories of creation and creator of calendar, are installed in the Program Files folder where most of the software are installed. However, many Broderbund programs will install also files and folders in other places on the hard drive.

  When one of these programs of Broderbund is uninstalled because it is suspected that the installation is corrupt, it's always a good idea to make sure to manually delete all the files and folders stored on the hard drive that are not deleted automatically during an uninstall normal - to ensure that all corruption is removed before the program, is reinstalled.

  Here are the paths of the additional folders where Broderbund software is commonly installed:

  Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

  and

  C:\Documents and Settings\ [your user name] \Local Settings\Application Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

  WinVista/Win 7: C:\Users\All Users\Broderbund logiciels\Print

  and

  C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Broderbund logiciels\Print.

  and

  C:\ProgramData\Broderbund logiciels\Print

  PrintMaster address books can be accessed from and saved to the BOOKS folder that is a subfolder of the folder prints shown below (PrintMaster address books may be accessed from or saved to the Documents folder)

  Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

  WinVista/Win 7:Print and C:\Users\All Users\Broderbund logiciels\Print logiciels\ C:\ProgramData\Broderbund

  (As you can see, when PrintMaster address books are registered under WinVista and Windows 7, they are saved in two files).

  For example, the address for PrintMaster 18 books would be saved in these folders on WinVista or Windows7 computer

  C:\ProgramData\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\18.0\Books

  C:\Users\All Users\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\18.0\Books

  To make sure that saved the address books are not deleted during the uninstall process, they must be saved prior to PrintMaster is uninstalled. When these address books are restored, it will be necessary to restore these in the same two folders address books - because an address book will not appear in the file. Open list, if not in the two files.

  Address books print shop can easily be stored in the Documents folder. So, if you have registered your address books in the Documents folder, it is not necessary to save the address book before you uninstall the print shop.

  Files that control the Project Gallery and the Art Gallery are stored in the folders of ART PROJECTS & which are subfolders of this folder to print

  Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\ [your username] \Local Data\Broderbund logiciels\Print

  WinVista/Win 7: C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Broderbund logiciels\Print.

  For example, ART & for PrintMaster 18 PROJECT files would be in this folder on WinVista or Windows7 computer

  C:\Users\[your-username]\AppData\Local\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\18.0\PROJECTS

  Because these files can easily become corrupt if the video card driver is out of date or corrupted, the program folder that has been uninstalled (in this case, the folder 18.0) must be removed before the program is re-installed. It is completely safe to delete the folder PrintMaster - because a new facility this 18.0 folder will be performed when PrintMaster is uninstalled.

  If there is only one version of PrintMaster installed on the computer, the PrintMaster folder in this example could also be deleted safely.
