• application error Userinit.exe & rundll32

  I don't know if anyone has any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

  I am Windows Windows XP Home SP2 on a Satellite edition.
  I think I have a virus that prevents me to connect to my computer properly. Whenever I connect to my computer, it shows the desktop, but nothing else. He then says "userinit.exe application error 0xc00000005 application failed to initialize properly."

  I have to use the Task Manager to find the office. I then give me rundll32 errors with the same error as stated above code. The rundll32 error prevents me from doing anything administrative, so I can not turn off the system restore, I could save a copy of the virus.

  I ran superantispyware and it seems to keep finding the same virus without getting rid of them.
  I really want to do a repair install, I can't find my cd.

  In my opinion these two files are not affected by viruses.
  Maybe your superAntiSpyware it cannot recognize as common system files.

  To ensure that your system is not affected by a virus, you should try to use multiple VRU and spy ware applications;
  I use the software called Antivir. The standard version can be downloaded for free from various Web sites. I recommend also using an Ad-aware and spy boot Search and Destroy. All these tools prevent system of Trojan and Virus attacks. You should use it too.

• Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working

  Is a general Vista problem and also a general problem of Thinkpad, but it has what I feel to be a frequency among the W500s so I thought to post it here.

  In recent weeks, I got this error (Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working) several times. A lot of googleing will tell you that it can be caused by a number of things, for example other video programs, Nero burning software, video codecs and burning software and the ATI catalyst control center.

  For me, uninstalling the ATI catalyst control center and the rest of the correction of the error of video card drivers. Resettlement has reduced. Uninstall them and then only by reinstalling the driver first, then check catalytic Center later after another reboot all reinstalled successfully and also got rid of the error.

  However, two days ago I updated my lenovo Power Manager and after the next restart, I started getting this error again. I tried the trick with video drivers, but this time I was not so lucky. Uninstall them completely is not even get rid of the error. I think only it is the new power manager I uninstalled everything and somehow got rid of the error.

  I'm about to reinstall the power manager and I hope he's not bring error.

  Another thing, I found that can cause this error:

  I'd just do a fresh install of vista and lenovo apps + Manager supply and everything worked. Since I never use the optical drive, I went to the Device Manager and disabled, which gave me the error Rundll32.exe about 60 seconds later, and this caused again Manager power to stop working, even after that it recharges.

  I finally understand that disabling my optical drive Springs somehow this error on me which then also stops Power Manager. The optical drive from the reactivation got rid of the error immediately.

  Thanks for the suggestion, Lisa!  I tried the link but it says page is more noticed.

  You happen to know any other solution for that darn missing file?  I can't open all the apps in my control panel! ACK!

  Someone found a solution to this problem yet?  Thanks a lot for any attempt to answer!

  EDIT: I GOT IT!  Browsing the internet, I came across this answer:

  Find a copy of rundll32.exe in the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache or c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386.
  If you find it, go ahead and copy rundll32.exe in the c\windows\system32 of the system folder.

  Otherwise you need a windows disk to extend this fichier.* *.

  I have dd a search on my computer for the file "rundll32.exe" and he came in two different folders on my hard drive.  But it MUST be in c:\windows\system32 (file there lack of).  I found the file in the folder dllcache as shown above, then simply copied and pasted in the system32 folder.  And WALLAH!  Problem solved and control panel and all the rest works just fine now!  So simple!  I hope it works for you, the people who are still struggling with this problem!

• Rundll32.exe missing, unable to reinstall open rundll32.exe or .exe files

  Then I looked around and discovered I had a virus, XP Security, erased rundll32.exe when it was faded.  Now, I found another copy on my computer to ISO recovery that accompanies it (thank you, MSI), but it is useless, because I can't OPEN. EXE FILES.  I had internet explore to open internet Explorer by selecting in the menu open with that appears whenever I open a .exe file, and that worked for a few other programs (World of Warcraft, as well, mainly to test).

  So, what should I do to open Rundll32.exe when my computer won't let me choose Rundll32.exe as a program to open Rundll32.exe with.  I select it in the open with menu by means of travel, and it does not appear in the list of programs that I can use, such as Internet Explorer and wow.

  I wanted to talk to someone on the phone for 5 minutes to understand this point, but that costs 20% of this cost my computer ($50, im on a netbook).  Come on, $ 50?  really, microsoft?

  Thank you for your response. Here's my problem. I'm on a laptop at the moment. My problem is with my desktop windows xp home edition. I can't access a Web site or make it appear an address bar imput your link. Whenever I click on internet explore or itunes or whatever it is that must be open to the top, I get the 'open with' box and it says: "choose the program you want to use to open this file. I tried to remove the rundll32.exe and go back in the folder.

  When I go to the c\windows\system32\rundll32.exe folder and remove the file, I go back to the results of the research, and he returned in the results of research after a few seconds.

  Thanks again.

  The goal is to not do not delete the rundll32 permanently, but replace it with a replacement valid. If your MAP replaces the file then it is useless to continue to delete.

  That said, the best way to solve this problem is to use a flash (USB drive) drive or other removable media to download and run the file on the link I gave you. However, if you do not have access to removable media, you can try to manually reassociate the executables.

  CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager.  Once there, click file, and then hold down the CTRL key and click New task (run).  This will open a command prompt window. On the command line type assoc.exe = exefile > press ENTER. You should receive a prompt action succeeded.

  Looks like your shortcuts can have been so separated. On the command line type assoc.lnk = lnkfile > press ENTER.

• not found c:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe

  It's one of the messages when I try to open certain files or downloads.  I can't get my control panel items to open.   What is happening with my system?

  If you see a message like this:

  Control Panel
  Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

  This means that your system is currently or has been infected with malicious or all software you use antivirus/antimalware tools examined the file a threat and quarantined (effectively deleted) file.

  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 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)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  Sinusoidal signals, we know nothing on your system, I have on my SkyDrive a copy of rundll32.exe file that comes from Windows XP Service Pack 3.

  Things of course would work better here is the support engineers technical Microsoft has not assumed automatically everyone has a CD of Windows XP installation by hand, huh?  The Ministry of Education should address the problems with the idea that no one has a genuine XP bootable installation CD.

  You can download the rundll32.exe file and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\System32
  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  You have to put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

  I would follow with this:

  Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
