• 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 activate windows 7 - accepted not Legit "Application not found" license key

  I have an old Alienware m17x R1 with a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 installed. I bought it for the birthday of my son out of craigslist in July 2012. He had so many things about it I not rub and the operating system was already authorized, enabled and recognized as legitimate.

  Yet once the operating system has already been verified as legitimate and fully active and I used Windows Update and Windows Security Essentials broadly I have prepared the machine for her birthday and there is no problem.
  In any case, in mid-2012 October my son suddenly begin to see updates cautioned that "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and he needs to activate it. So, not having contact with the person that I bought the computer from, I advanced and bought a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium for $220.00 rather than download and online Microsoft store online and wipe the machine and re - install (us Mac people never have to deal with such nonsense) just to "fix" things I logically and wisely clicked on Start/Control Panel/system and then clicked on "Change Product key" and entered him valid, legitimate, product key that I had just bought.
  But by entering and submitting the valid, legitimate product key, official, based on my download page on the Microsoft Store returns the following error:
  Code: 0xC004F050
  "The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is not valid"
  So, thinking I can buy the wrong operating system I checked and checked that I have in fact Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 installed, and I indeed bought Windows 7 Home Premium. So, I seem to be tight. True, Microsoft normal 'solution' in such a situation is to destroy all of your years of data and spray your machine and then rebuild from scratch, but as a Mac guy, that I hope that I'm not yet at that time here and we'll find a clever solution to the problems of this operating system.
  Also, when I run slui.exe and click "go online and fix now" link, I get the following arcane error:
  "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=89429&OSV=6.1.7601.2.00010300.1.0.003.09.1033&LS...". »
  "Application not found".
  I tried to rebuild the license store by the great reviews on this page: http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-updates-activation/227921-windows-7-all-sudden-saying-its-not-genuine.html, but it has not solved the problem.
  Then, I spent a lot of money on a new operating system on a platform of big game that is quickly became a brick. Advice on how I can fix it is to have this Windows 7 machine and may he accept the valid license key that I bought at the store Windows online and get active and legitimate, again, would be most appreciated!
  Thank you
  Wulf

  Thanks for the reply but I am a little confused. Having enjoyed that a Windows operating system to the given address of the bios never stopped an operating system to be activated in my nearly 20 years of using Windows

  
  
  An OEM SLP key requires a compatible bios marker in order to activate. OEM system builder and retail keys are not. When you bought your computer probably an OEM SLP key has been used with a hack of activation.
  unless there is something wrong with the operating system.
  There is something wrong with the operating system. It's been hacked and therefore is not authentic.
  
  
  Normally, Windows Activation Technologies runs every 90 days so it can sometimes can take awhile, especially if the WAT update is disabled.
  additional information:

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)
