Rundll32 is not found, but it is in the right folder

I can't access most of the files/programs in my control panel.  the error message says "application not found c;\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.  A search on drive C indicates that the program exists in the right folder.

How can I solve this problem?

Note: I am running windows XP sp3 and I just solved a problem of virus (FakeRean and Alureon.G) using a MS security essentials scan and clean.  the problem with the missing program of rundll32.exe appeared immediately after the scan and clean process.

Help

Thank you!!!

I tried both of your methods and they both took me to "choose the program to execute cmd.exe." but, because of your recommendation, I could navigate to cmd.exe and right click and click on "Run" and it opened.  the command you have worked me and I didn't need to do a reboot (but I will).  in any case, a preliminary test indicates the control panel and the desktop icons are now working as it should with one or two - minor (?) different questions.

Thanks again for your help

  • I try to start the old T2150CDT - error message "not found reading drive C of the sector.

    Hello

    I came by one of them and trying to fire, but I get the message, "sector not found reading drive C". I get this message just after windows 98 logo appears.

    Problem is that I am limited in what I can do, because I don't have a floppy drive and back does not recognize the CD drive (missing drivers); Although I can hear it when starting upwards.

    So I out the HARD drive and pasted the installation windows 98 inside files. then tried to reinstall, but I still have the message of "sector not found reading drive C". The drive is too large (it's about 2.1 GB.)

    Install the right drivers for the CD Rom would allow me to install from a CD?

    It works usually
    Thank you
    John

    As far as I know the error message; "Sector not found reading drive C" appears because of these three reasons:
    -physical HARD drive failure
    -corrupted HARD drive file system
    -Bad RAM

    In the first case, you should try to format the whole HARD drive and should try to install the new OS.
    If it will not help, chances are that HARD drive is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.

  • After deployment got "404 Not Found".  How to find the correct URL?

    For the experienced:

    Preparing to deploy my application, I use JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 to deploy the application on the server standalone oc4j included in JDeveloper. After deployment, I get the error "404 Not Found" when trying to invoke the application in a browser. The deployment seems OK, because the log in JDeveloper window showed no error executing deployment from inside JDeveloper. So I guess the question is how to find the correct URL to invoke the application. Here are the steps I took to make the deployment.

    First, I installed the standalone oc4j by running the .bat < jdev_home > \jdev\bin\start_oc4j file. Installation is OK because I have deployed the application SRTutorial and invoked successfully in a browser.

    The WAR file has been created by right-clicking on the ViewController project and select this option to create a WAR file. At the root of the application its own name, I typed "ZB" in the area of the root of context.

    Then in ViewController-> resources, right_click the deployment file (ZBOV.deploy) and chose ' deploy to "the local_standalone_oc4j. Messages in the Journal of JDeveloper window for deployment are all nice and clean without errors.

    I then used this url to invoke the application deployed in a browser:

    http://localhost:8888/ZB/faces/staff/login.JSPX

    But I got an error "404 Not Found". Immediately, I tried citing the application of SRTutorial, and it works fine.

    Login.JSPX is one of the pages of the application. In the browser of the application, it is with other files in the content of ViewController/Web/personal folder, so I used /staff/login.jspx after ZB/faces.

    What could be wrong? If the deployment is really successful, how to find the correct url to invoke the application?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hello

    According to me, there are 2 possibilities (could be more that I'm not aware of if :)).

    1. your deployment profile has been changed to use a different context root.
    2. your request has not been installed correctly.

    To 1, try to create a new deployment profile and leave the values by default as it is the case, run the jspx page, get the root context, deploy the application to a different OC4J instance (using the new deployment profile), and then run the application with the context root, that you received from the embedded OC4J.

    For 2, check the log file and see if you had any error / exception.

    HTH.

    I have the same problem with Firefox 3.6.6 except that it also consumes massive amounts of CPU during the race. This version also adds a new process on your system. I am running XP and in the beginning I tried to disable some plug-ins. Always consumed too much memory. I went back to version 3.6 and the new process went, and the CPU consumption is way down. Something is wrong with the latest version of Firefox, I never saw behave this way. Revert to a previous version (Filehippo) and you will see the difference.

    Hello

    Thanks for the information. Two things to try. First of all, try to align your print cartridges using the controls on the printer display panel. As part of this process, the printer will print on a sheet of alignment that you place on the printer and scan in the printer. See if it works successfully. If not, see the following page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02451000&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0011 .

    The second thing to try is the print and Scan Doctor Utility, download here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-114642-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=5061082&sw_lang=. Its a standalone process and requires no explanation.

    Let me know if one of them fixes the problem.
