Receives RUNDll32.exe - error bad Image to start Windows XP.

Original title: RUNDll32.exe - bad Image.

At startup "Rundll.exe bad Image ' appears

I found the file RUNDLL32 on the Windows XP Pro CD

How can I replace the bad image version in my computer

This is caused by viruses or other such pest that is already active on your computer, or which may have been badly removed (deleted without removing his boot entry).

Run a Malwarebytes scan on your computer: http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Clean your Temp files, parasites often hide in temporary locations.  CCleaner is a very good tool for the removal of temporary files: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

Do NOT use the function of registration of Ccleaner cleaning, registry cleaners are next few completely useless and mostly they cause more harm than good, they have a fix for the non-existent problems, at best they do nothing to improve performance, and at worst, they cause problems that did not exist previously.

    Before closing this thread, please listen to me.

    So, I was see random errors with a file in my system32 folder called shfolder.dll. This error prevents me from using all the applications I need or want to use and is very irritating.
    Here's the report...
    application.exe - bad Image
    C:\windows\system32\SHFOLDER. DLL is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.

    It seems that the clean boot won't be necessary, because I have already taken care of the issue with sfc scan. Thank you very much for your time Sir. Now I can continue with my game coding!

    I will help you certainly with the same. However, we need a few details to better understand the cause of the problem.

    Werfault.exe is used to Windows error reporting. This is a feature that allows Microsoft to track and address errors related to Windows features, the operating system and applications. It offers you the opportunity to send data about errors to Microsoft and to receive information on the solutions.

    You can access Windows here error report settings:

    2. choose system and Maintenance , go to Problem Reports and Solutions.

    3. Select change settings , and then choose avancΘs.

    4 try to disable it temporarily and see if this will fix the issue.

    As a temporary solution you can disable the error reporting service:

    (a) Press Win + R, type services.msc and press ENTER.

    (b) find Windows Error Reporting service in the services list.

    (c) make a right click on it, and then click Properties.

    (d) open the "Startup Type" list and select "Disabled" press OK.

    Then check and see if you still get the error werfault.exe on opening the programs.

    Hope this information is useful. Please do not hesitate to answer, in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    I would say that you can start your computer in a clean boot State and check if this is related to a software conflict of third.

    Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.

    If this does not help, I'm afraid, you may need to do the Startup Repair and for that, you need the installation disc.

    Hello

    Rundll32 errors can be caused by malware.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.

  • Rundll32.exe error

    This is the message:

    Windows cannot find C:\system32\rundll32.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.
    I get this when I open the control panel and try to use some of the tasks. This problem started to has occurred just after a routine download and installation of updates of Windows.

    Oh... I see it now (with IE7).  I mainly use Firefox or Chrome.

    Hey Robert Pyle, if you use Internet Explorer, when you choose to download the file, in the file name box, it seems fair to say:

    Rundll32

    You need to change this to:

    Rundll32.exe

    Then save it and put the rundll32.exe in the appropriate folders.

    Or, you can locate the rundll32 you have already downloaded, rename the rundll32.exe and put it in the appropriate folders.  Sorry about that!

    I'll work on the setting of my instructions in my notes (it's just a copy/paste).  I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this before that I sent this rundll32.exe repeatedly.  It seems that IE7 (at least) doesn't pay attention to the extension shown in SkyDrive (I tried a .dll file file extensions too-).

    It makes IE even worse than I thought!

    Zee Beck drawing board, is?

    This is good feedback so :)

    Maybe someday the MS Answers forums will be catch up with the rest of the world and leave things like attachments and personal messages (so we can email), etc.  None...

  • After Vista Ultimate Clean install battery Manager will not work Rundll32.exe error at startup

    I did a clean install of Windows XP SP3 Vista Ultimate SP 1. It was a total reload once installation is complete I used the insall system update all the drivers. Now Manager of battery will not work right, when I boot it hangs with an error rundll32.exe. I tried to uninstall and reinstall and allowed me at least open the program a bit, but there is no power management in the Manager. He says that I can create a new, but he does not appear once it is made. I can't counter is displayed in the taskbar and at this point I'm kind of at a loss.

    Any help would be great

    Thank you

    I have actully solved my problem. What I had to do was reboot the machine and after Vista installation was done I did the installation of battery first Manager and just downloaded from the section the T61 drivers (without using the update system) then once the battery Manager installation manual was full (it was then works well) I ran the system update to install the rest of the drivers and utilities Lenovo. If apperentally battery meter do not be installed via updater. My sugestion would be so to reload the machine once more and battery Manager install before running system update this is what worked for me.

  • 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.
