• 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.

  Hello

  • When you receive this error message?
  • What were the changes made before the issue started?

  Try the SFC scan on the computer.

  SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

  Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.
