Rundll.exe error
How can I correct an error rundll.exe without reformatting my computer?
- 1
Click "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" on the keyboard of your computer to open the Task Manager window. Click on the tab 'Processes' and search for rundll32.exe programs. If it is running and seems to access a lot of your system resources, click 'End process' because it's probably a malicious program and not a true Windows program.
- 2
Launch the software to search, arrest and remove viruses, malware, spyware and adware. Often, these malware programs corrupt DLL files or cause it to be deleted or moved and, as mentioned, some rundll32.exe programs may actually be viruses on your system.
- 3
Restart your computer to update the changes you have recently made to your files and programs. Many programs and applications require a restart for a successful installation.
- 4
Uninstall an application or a program recently installed or changed and then reinstall it by using the default settings. An installed program cannot be loaded correctly, installation via Internet may was interrupted enough to create errors, or the program may have a bug. If you uninstall a program and see a rundll32.exe error, reinstall the program and uninstall then once more.

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: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: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. -

AccelerometerSt.exe error on the computer Windows 10 brand new
I have the same problem that many others have with the Application AccelerometerSt.exe error. BUT, I have a brand new - 1 week old computer and it came with 10 windows already on it. I have the HP Envy x 360. How do you intend that to solve the problem. If you uninstall and reinstall Windows 10, I'll need much more detailed information. I don't know how to do this - which was the reason why I only watched computers with her already preinstalled.
