  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! 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.

  That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

• Windows updates driver Nvidia and Nvidia Control panel stops working

  I was choosing to update the video card myself with the latest driver 310.09 being installed, and everything was fine. Then I started having "failed to initialize Nvidia Control Panel, you don't have permission to access or access denied errors at startup and to the continuation of the investigation I found updated encrypted files (c:\windows\system32\nvcpl.dll being one of many) and a Nvidia driver recent 311 already in the section updates installed windows from the control panel."

  Now, I have no Nvidia Control Panel, but I managed to roll back the driver to 310.09, but still with no possibility to install driver 314, or remove any previous version using uninstallers. I'm stuck in the middle with nowhere to go!  I want my back Nvidia Control Panel, and I hate error messages!

  Intel i5 processor 3770 3.4Gig

  GT video card 620

  Windows 8 Pro / clean install

  16 gig Ram

  1 T HD

  Problem not solved! When I did the screen went black, with me ends up having to re-start, the machine came back, and before I can do anything Windows back to or downloaded 311 driver and I'm at square one. Impossible to uninstall any Nvidia or reinstall anything Nvidia.

  If Windows will update a 3rd party driver why it deletes the old software first. Now I have the supplied Windows driver 311 mixed with the old Nvidia provided 310 software update! It's no wonder that nothing works!

  Sorry to here that you still have the problem...

  Just go through these links and check if you can attach to your solution...

• "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  missing volume control

  volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

  "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

  I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

  When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

  Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

  It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

  This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

  We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

  If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

  If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  Browsing from a level in the following folder:

  c:\Windows\System32

  Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

  Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

  Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

• Impossible to uninstall programs in Control Panel

  I'm in the Control Panel, try to uninstall programs. There are several programs that I can't uninstall. When highlighting these programs do not give me the button uninstall or the buttons change or repair. They show the name of the program and the size of the program. They take place on my hard drive and I do not use them. Even when I go to remove the icon, it opens a window which says removing the icon, it is not uninstall the program. How is it, I can't uninstall these programs?

• I can't remove an icon to a non-existent program in Control Panel.

  I have Windows Vista Home Edition and completely removed all vestiges of any Apple software on my computer, but I still have a generic now left "MobileMe" Apple icon in my control panel!

  When I click on 'Open', I get a pop up window that says "Application not found". When I make a shortcut to the icon of CP and then right-click on properties > change icon, I get "Windows cannot find the file C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleSyncPref.exe.

  Given that the program is apparently completely disappeared from my computer, why is the icon always in Control Panel?

  I've tried every way I can think to remove this icon, but have had no success.

  Does anyone know a way to remove this icon? I guess this is no little matter as long as it's there, but I find it very annoying!

  Thank you!!!

• Apple TV (3rd generation) remote control suddenly stopped working

  I used aluminum remote on my 3rd generation Apple TV for years without a single issue.  Then last night, after working fine most of the evening, it simply stopped working.  The first thing I did was to get the distance within two feet of the Apple TV, and then I was able to make it work.  To me, this indicates a battery is weakening, so I replaced it.  Same problem: Apple TV does not remotely, unless I get very, very close.  Just in case, I got a new battery, I tried a second.  Same question.

  I did a bit of digging in the community forum, and here's what I've tried:

  -restarted successfully the Apple TV via the software and then again just unplug the power cord and wait 10 seconds, but the problem persists.

  -successfully paired and re-paired remote control, but the problem persists.

  ATV shows a solid light when I push buttons, unless I come to this beach to two feet and then it flashes once as her answers ATV.

  I have looked on the IR through the camera of my iphone, but don't see any red flashes... and yet the ATV receives the signal from the remote control if it is close enough.

  Curiously, as part of my diagnosis, I noticed that the "UP" button had become insensitive, even from the beach which work the other buttons.

  I have not dropped the remote or mistreated it somehow, so can't see why it would break suddenly without reason.

  I'm puzzled.

  Your troubleshooting sound research.

  I would buy a new remote from Apple and try it.  They are $19.00.  If she is doing the same, the receiver IR of the ATC is responsible and return the new remote control within 14 days for a full refund.

  If it works keep the remote control.
