c. type expand X: \i386\rundll32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe in the Open box, where X is the letter of your CD drive.

d. restart the computer. See if it makes a difference.

    The Ask toolbar is originally only in versions of Firefox 3.6.13 +. Obviously something in this extension is not compatible with a Firefox security patch. Disable this extension or uninstall it.

  • I suddenly lost Microsoft Powerpoint, Word and Excel: right click anywhere on the desktop or the folder > > New > > Excel or Word or Powerpoint. How to bring back this ability?

    How do I return this very useful feature?

    Hello

    You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

    After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

    Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • Can I return only one page at a time because the drop down menu to go back multiple pages feature is missing. How to bring back this feature?

    Firefox 3.6, the buttons next and previous also had a drop down menu for me to jump to one of the last, say, 10 pages, I saw rather that only go back one at a time. In addition, the button reload seems to be missing and I can't find a way to get these. Otherwise, an upgrade is impressive; Thanks for all your hard work on this fantastic product.

    You can click right back or front button to open the history list.

  • I've recently updated to Firefox 4. I can't find the trick to make Firefox 4 don't forget my tabs when I shut down my computer. How to bring back this feature?

    In the earlier version, at the exit, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save my tabs for the next session. Firefox 4 is not that. It loses my tabs, so when I open a new session I starts from scratch rather than where I left.

    You have no need say Firefox in advance to save tabs. You are always able to further define Firefox to open it from the last set of tabs instead of the home page.

    Firefox will now normally also offer to reopen the last set of tabs by a button in the middle of the default start page, otherwise you can use the tab 'History', available in the "firefox" button

    Actually, even if you get executables run again - you can be (read as "will be") better off the coast of a new facility.  Wipe and install media with your product key and other serial numbers and installation for other products media you own and restore your last recognized reliable backup for your files.

  • On the computer of the opening, this message: c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.

    I searched the drivers and utilities cd that came w/my computer and the operating system cd and do not find this file there.  Don't know what to do from this point on.  Cannot remove programs without this file.  Thanks for any help!

    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) by some program antivirus or antimalware you use.

    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\i386

    If 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).

    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.

    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.
