Rundll32.exe should not be run?

Similar Questions

• When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

  Original title: rundll.exe error

  I checked the previous messages and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  Recently I ran 3 different scans, i.e. sbybot, avast and Malawarebytes virus. After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners. Every time I tried, would open a window saying "Choose the program you want to use to open this file." If I try to download a new virus scanner, it says the same thing.

  When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found. I checked this file on my c: drive\system 32 and see the rundll.exe file. I also copy and pasted the file rundll.exe my CD of Windows XP in c: Windows\System32

  Everything else seems to work fine on my computer, and I get no message on the rundll.exe file when the computer starts up first.

  Any help would be popular!

  Error messages occur now - seem to appear now, after I did a Defrag.  If I try to open AOL, it brings me to a display list who wants to choose from a list of programs.  For AOL, I click on AOL.  I didn't used to have to select from a list of display.  Then I tried to open an Astrology program and it took me to the same list, which of course is not.  Now, I get the same error as follows: C:Windows/system32/rundll32.exe - Application not found - OK

  Now select the oldest Restore Point and restore your computer, but first make sure that you have an external drive.

  After that C:\Windows\System32\Rundll32.exe copy the external drive and the disc is ejected

  Open the system restore and undo restore

  After the undo operation is copy the Rundll32.exe in the road to C:\Windows\System32

  and the problem solved

  Hi kipepeoliciousslemani,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  3. it happens with all programs you are trying to open?

  Method 1

  See the Microsoft article below and run the fixit tool available (good for Windows XP so shims), check if it helps.

  When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check.
