• I am running xp Pro 64-bit and get entered C:\WINDOWS\system32\ rundll.exe error: FQ10 what to do?

  I followed the instructions to load the OS disk, type expand C:i386\rundll.ex_ C:\windows\system32\rundll.exe, etc., but the error continues to appear.

  Looks like you had a meeting with the FBI MoneyPack (Ransomware) malicious software.  Fact that all sounds familiar (FBI, your PC is locked, you need to pay your fine, etc.).

  You must first perform some scanners from reputable and do what they can do, but sometimes leave you with a fake startup item that you must manually remove using something like Autoruns.

  No matter what you use for protection against malware, perform the following analyses for malware, then correct any problems:

  Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time):

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  SAS will probably report a lot of tracking cookies and you can just let him delete them.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, restart, and then fix any problems.

  If you still receive the message, delete the element of persistent starting using Autoruns.

  Here's how:

  A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
  It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
  Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
  So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

  You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

  If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
  If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
  Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
  Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html
  You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
  Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
  When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information
  .  You are really interested only a few sections.
  The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
  Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
  If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
  You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
  Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply turn off (uncheck the entry), reboot, and if the problem is resolved and things work normally and everything works fine, then delete the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.

• Cannot run most of the programs in Control Panel because it says that I don't have \WINDOWS\system32\rundll.exe'. on my hard drive

  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.

• After download of Internet Explorer 8 I can't open all the icons in the control panel. On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  Yesterday, I downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 web from Microsoft Download Center.

  After downloading Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, I can't open any icons in the control panel.

  On display is come information that Windows cannot find 'C\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.32.exe '.

  Help, please. Thanks Gene.

  Thanks Gene.

  Dear: :

  Running sfc/scannow will not replace the missing rundll32.exe file.

  Why you post methods that do not work and will be just wasting time?

  Hove you never even seen this problem before, tried to recreate it so that you can actually see, or have you never really fixed?

  Why you learn not what sfc/scannow does and does not do?

  Here is a simple test to you and all your colleagues in the technical support engineer:

  Rename or delete just your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe file is "missing".

  Rename rundll32.exe---> rundll32.xxx

  If you started normally, before you can blink, the 'missing' rundll32.exe file quickly and quietly replace the copy in the dllcache folder.  It is the Protection of Windows file in action and you will see something like this in the Event Viewer log system:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Windows File Protection
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 64002
  Description:
  File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5512.

  I beg you to perform this simple test to know how the sfc/scannow:

  Boot your system to Safe Mode or the recovery for the Windows File Protection Console does not run.

  For this example, we will use the system critical file rundll32.exe.

  Rename or delete your c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.exe file so the file is now "missing."

  A critical file, is it true?  It is on the list of the file 3498 knows the Protection of Windows and SFC files, but now he isn't.

  If Windows File Protection is running, the "missing" file would be quickly and silently replaced (try to rename or delete it in normal mode and it will be quickly and quietly replaced).

  Now, with your file rundll32.exe missing, start in Normal mode and try to use something like control panel to open something like Power Options and you'll see that familiar message:

  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.

  Now you have recreated a common problem with the missing file and seen the error of our own eyes.  A Microsoft Support Engineer will usually suggest running sfc/scannow for this kind of problem, but it will not work or help and you can prove it to yourself, and now you have reproduced the error.

  You follow own advice and run sfc/scannow to the end.

  The rundll32.exe is always had disappeared, right?  Did run sfc/scannow replace the missing critical system file?

  How can he be so sfc/scannow is supposed to replace the missing system files?  This is because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

  Now you know sfc/scannow does not.  He did not replace your missing system file (don't forget to put your rundll32.exe back so you will have a).

  Now, go to c:\windows\system32\dllcache and delete or rename the file rundll32.exe from there - and it will be gone and not replaced automatically because the Windows File Protection does not seem after this record.

  Run sfc/scannow in full again.

  Replace the file rundll32.exe missing in the dllcache folder, since it handles missing files (not the system32 folder) IS the folder that sfc/scannow.

  Now you know sfc/scannow does.

  Do you need help to know too much about the corrupt system files?

  Since most people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, they will not be able to develop a copy of the file that is missing from the installation CD, they have not.

  After some directions on how to replace the file when the user has no XP bootable installation CD authentic and that will be useful to all.

  If you don't know how to say "I don't know how" and I'll help you.

  You want to inform/warn the poster that SP3 is installed that running sfc/scannow will take a long time for the installation of SP3 CD?

  If you do not have a CD with the same Service Pack as your installation (most people don't), the posters are in for a rough and frustrating time.

  Of course this will help with the detachment of the Ministry of Education of the impossible to try things that don't work, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the 100th time.

  Hi cls3028,

  This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.

  Try the steps listed in the link below: cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open the control panel:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812340

  Also scan virus online to check if there is any malware or virus activity. See the link below:http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

• After that the changing environment variables get various issues which cannot find %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe errors

  After you sort a few UAC problems on the computer of a friend (see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/a-domain-user-in-the-local-administrators-group/745fc28d-7573-4414-aa4e-657054fc62dd) we hit another problem.

  After modification of the environment variables, it seems that windows loses some environment variables until a disconnection/connection is made. If you open a back command prompt and type the value, there are far fewer variables and things like %windir%\System32 disappeared. If you try to open the variable dialog environment again, you get a 'cannot find windir%\system32\rundll32.exe %. The same thing happens if you restart in safe mode. After a closed session/login, added environment variable are there, so they are saved, it just seems like it won't let windows none of them until a new logon.

  One oddity is that the variable env pathext has different things in after things go wrong. He started as a

  PATHEXT = .COM; EXE;. BEATS;. CMD;. VBS;. VBE;. JS;. JSE;. WSF;. WSH;. MSC. ; PY

  and after adding a new use env variable and opening a new prompt back, together said

  PATHEXT = .COM; EXE;. BEATS;. CMD;. VBS;. JS;. WS;. MSC

  Is this a sign of a register messed up, that could have caused the original problem, or something else? Any ideas on how to diagnose this problem? Any help much appreciated. I have left this in the Security section, as it seems that it could be linked to the original problem, but am happy to move.

  Any help much appreciated.

  I don't know what caused your problem, but your original path certainly seemed excessively long. There is a lot of overlap in it you need to remove - see below. In addition, having records of remote machines at the beginning of your path will cause the machine to slow down a lot. You should remove them.
