  Hello

  • When you receive this error message?
  • What were the changes made before the issue started?

  Try the SFC scan on the computer.

  SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

  Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

  Hello

  Rundll32 errors can be caused by malware.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• Windows cannot find C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe

  Hello

  Can someone help me, I am trying to open files and folders, and all I get is Windows can't find C;\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe and stop me so gains access. I was told that I could find the file on another computer stick in my memory stick and reapply, only problem I have is I don't know where its located. I'm on windows XP.

  Thank you very much

  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!

• windows\system32\rundll32.exe the parameter is incorrect. Cannoy get access to certain programs and cannot access the "msconfig".

  I get the windows\system32\rundll32.exe error following the parameter is incorrect. I tried a repair Rundll32 loading, but the computer will not accept. All microsoft and windows updates are up-to-date BLAH today. What to do next? When I try to use the box of computer help, a black box appears for about 1 second and the computer does nothing.  Not lock up and I can still do emails, just no game.

  Please run Doug Knox fix .exe (which is not a file .exe so you can run it) and then carefully swipe to the malware.

• Cannot run most of the programs in Control Panel because it says that I don't have \WINDOWS\system32\rundll.exe'. on my hard drive

  I recently installed sp3 on my computor he had sp2 now when I access panel, I can't run any programs like display or add or remove programs or internet con. I tried the system restore but it will not go forward or backward I always got the error this file \WIndows\system32\rundll32.exe'. is not on the hard drive that I can reistall sp 2 with sp3 hope somone can help thanks lindell wood

  If you have installed SP3 and now the file is missing, the opinion of the Support Engineer Microsoft won't help you unless you have a genuine XP installation CD also is Service Pack 3.

  That's extremely unlikely, unless you did it yourself and some people have never seen a real installation of XP bootable CD in their life then, how is this will help...  But, this is a link to a Microsoft KB article.

  When you try to open a control panel applet, 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.

  If the file is actually missing, it was probably quarantined (actually deleted) programmatically your antivirus or anti-malware not specified that you use.

  You might want to reconsider anything not stated antivirus or antimalware you programs use and whether or not they are effective to protect your system.

  You can look in the c:\windows\system32 folder and see if the file is actually missing or not, but you should replace it somehow.

  I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  You can download it 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 can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called rundll32 when the name of the file should really be called rundll32.exe (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  You then 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.

• How to find Windows\system32\UStorSrv.exe on my computer?

  I use the award-winning McAfee anti / protection against computer viruses. Recently, I did a full scan of the computer and chose the custom level to make sure that I hit the specific files or any file not being left behind.  When I went to view the report he read that the C:\Windows\system32\UStorsrv.exe could not conecting Internet under "Oti Content Service.  Don't forget to remove the UStorSrv.exe once before from another computer, I can't seem to find on Dell Windows XP desktop computer.  Do you think that he is a ghost of McAfee reading, or this really UStorSrv.exe exisits?  I want to find, and a search of the files produce no result, although hidden files were not analyzed in the research

  Google search more Internet and paste said: ustorsrv.exe is a user program called and a normal part of PC operations. No action required.

  It's really no need to copy and paste from the Internet.

  I think if you have installed the OTI application and use it, I don't think you want to delete.

  What types of USB storage devices you may be using?  Cards, USB sticks, external hard drives?

  My opinion of McAfee is less favorable, but if you searched your system for the file and did not and you are not looking for the hidden files, maybe, you need to look for hidden files and see if you can find it.

  Then you'll find it or you won't find it.

  If you are looking for all the files and folders, including hidden things and can't find it, and pointed out that McAfee, McAfee has a problem.

  If you are looking for all the files and folders, including hidden things and are and are suspicious of him, and then transfer it to some sites which analyzes individual files and scanned it by 60 + analysis of software (including McAfee) and see what results.
