  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.

• 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!

  Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel

• Satellite click on Mini - something wrong with the system

  No idea how even specify what is wrong with this system. Here goes:

  About to go to bed. Set it up to reset (a common practice every two/three months). Everything is connected. Single screen unplugged the keyboard and laid on the floor, all thin connections, any reboots to 21% when I go to bed.

  Since then, nothing. Laptop does not turn on. Connect a charger and I see the screen casual flash tells me that both batteries are absolutely free of charge in them either. Repeatedly kept fresh in two, three, four days at a time. None other than the screen occasional flash.

  Almost as if there is nothing to charge up, nothing to the accusation. Something happened then that it has been reset. I'm completely exasperated as well. I think only a completely uneducated about this, is that for some reason, he stopped restarts. Essentially leaving the cell empty.

  Any ideas, anyone? Little broken hereby to be honest...

  Thanks for the replies.

  Make you average rather than restart Reset? A reboot is just a reboot of the machine.

• C:Windows/system32/rundll32.exe - Application not found - OK__I get this error message when you try to open a program

  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

  Here's a Plan:

  Goto, start system restore restore Menu\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System

  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

  Note: the rundll32.exe should be missed recently and you should have an old Restore Point which contains a file Rundll32.exe Intact

• How can I fix what's wrong with my system restore when it is 'failed' to restore of any "Restore Points?

  Well, what is said.  I see all kinds of "restore points", highlighted in the restore calendar page.  But any day or I choose to restore point, the result is the same.  "Unsuccessful system restore" computer is returned to the...  (I don't know how they phrase it exactly, but the key is exactly the way it was when I started with optimism the restore process.)

  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, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
  What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  System Restore is not a time machine.
  Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
  For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
  Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
  It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013
  According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
  Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
  System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
  That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
  Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.

• I lost the connection between the icons on the desktop and the program. When I click on an icon, I get the OPEN WITH menu.

  I click right-properties and I get C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

  I tried to download fixit and got the OPEN WITH menu.

  It sounds like your .lnk and/or your .exe file associations may have been lost.

  You can try to fix the ".exe" and ".lnk" file associations:
