Original title: I can't do a restore point.
I get exception c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll,control_rundll,"c:\windows\system32\sysbm.cpl",system what can I do?
This has happened for a very long time.
Does really say '... sysdm.cpl "?"
Is that what the text complete and accurate of what the message said exactly? (there is no sysbm.cpl in XP, but there's a sysdm.cpl).
What happens if you click on start, run and enter in the box:
sysdm.cpl
Click OK - the system properties box opens?
What happens if you click on start, run and in the type box (exactly):
%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe
Click OK - is the open window of the system restore?
What is exactly the process (step by step) you are using when you try to create the restore point and when in the process you see this message?
I think it's a miracle that the Microsoft support engineer can provide a link to an article when the error message report you is a little out of whack and articles doesn't mention your error message at all. It's real good troubleshooting or clairvoyance!
You should also tell us a little about your system:
Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system. Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.
Provide information on your system, the better you can:
What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
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..
The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?
You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?
What do not you think that you should see?
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

Updates, mainly critical updates, which are downloaded and installed manually appear actually Windows XP-> Control Panel-> Add / Remove programs. I use NO automatic update of Windows. I run a batch file to install more than 20 + critical updates, but none of them are showing up for me in the list "Add / Remove Programs". Yes, I have the check box 'Show updates' checked. System configuration: Winndows 7 RTM, Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard, Intel Pentium Dual - Core E6300 Wolfdale 2.8 GHz, 4 GB of memory PC-1066 DDR2 Patriot Viper, 500 GB Western Digital hard drive, GeForce 8800GT Videocard
Yes. They should display Control Panel Add or remove.

You have several answers in your other thread: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaappearance/thread/d92288f4-0a8a-4d9c-9906-ce0755614fed.
Please post a question only once in these forums. Unlike chat rooms, posting several times not you will get answers more quickly. In fact, because the responses and the responses can be split between multiple threads, it can take even more time before you get the answer you want and you will probably see the same recommendations and requests further information in multiple threads (and when a notice of the administrator, the son will be merged anyway). Please be patient and someone will get back to you later. It also makes it more difficult for people seeking answers to similar problems, because they think that they have several different situations that could help them when in fact it's the same situation only duplicate and so they must travel more threads - and is not good.
Thanks and good luck!

Windows Installer inaccessible folder + add/remove programs hangs
Hello
Today, I had some problems with Mozilla Firefox. After a while it hung and I had to hard-reboot of my computer.
After research and virus problems, it seemed that the %WINDIR%\Installer folder was not accessible. My system hung up when I tried to open the folder (and when Windows read this content to view details).
I then opened the Add/Remove Programs page, which hung in the same way.
I have no problems installing programs (I first tried to update to Firefox, which caused no problem).System requirements: Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1.
Currently, my computer works fine, but probably it crashes again at the opening of this file.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you!
S
Update: my problem is solved.
I checked my drive on the flaws and repaired a few (of the signonhelper Windows Live) .msi file in the installation folder.
All the problems have disappeared. -

I get an error code whenever I start my computer. I have loaded several packs of registry repair software but cannot get rid of the message. The message bed error loading c:\windows\system32\pofusido.dll the specified module is not found
Hello
I googled this file pofusido.dll and it could be caused by a virus.
I would suggest that you disable the restore mode as viruses use it to reinstall set apart them.
Download and install the free http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 to get into safe mode with network connection.
Once you have updated Malwarebytes run and see if it can remove the virus.
So delete all cookies in your internet Explorer.

This happens no matter which mode (safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, normal) I try to start in. How to restore the winlogon file in the folder "c:\windows\system32"? Thanks for your help.

Since this question I've tired using the Repair Console to extend winlogon.exe in the system32 dir. could not expand the file. but, I was able to access and read what files are in the directory c:\windows\system32 on the machine and found that the if the dir winlogon.exe. but I'm still not able to go beyond the login screen; I start on the windows logon screen, click account admin or user, there is a flash of the wallpaper, then back to the logon screen. Thanks again, Chris
Never mind.
I tried the repair console, does not

Original title: rundll
How to restore the windows/system32/rundll32.exe to my computer in order to access the ad / remove programs in Control Panel
Hello

I suggest you to follow the steps in this article to resolve the problem.

Original title:rundll32.exe
I am running Vista SP2. I'm having a problem with the rundll32 process uses all the available system memory. The problem occurs when the history of navigation etc. is removed when you exit Explorer. The message that is displayed in the Task Manager is:
C:\Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess rundll32exe 10471 26 44
The numbers at the end of the message vary, but the essence is the same. 2 of these process begins, each using over 1 GB of memory. I ran several scans for virus problems, but everything looks OK. I think that a rundll32 reloading could solve the problem. Can anyone confirm this and tell me how?

When I try to open the Add/Remove Programs tool in Windows XP, it will not open. The window opens briefly, but then it disappears and I don't get an error message.
