Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: rundll32.exe missing Sunday, December 26, 2004 at 4:38 pm Posted by Jack Gulley (5917 messages posted) You should be able to extract a clean copy from the system CAB files. Go to the folder C:\Windows\Options\Install and locate the file WIN_17.CAB and open it. Then locate the compressed copy of RunDLL32.exe and right click it and select the Extract option. For the destination folder, select C:\Windows You can also do this with Start - RUN - MSCONFIG - OK - and clicking the "Extract file..." button, and filling in the request information and using the Browse button. The fact that it is missing and you are having problems getting into the Control Panel suggest that you might have a virus or browser hijacker on your system as several are known to delete the RunDLL32.exe file. So, first restore it and reboot. So do a full virus scan. Then scans for ADware/Spyware and browser hijackers.

Any help would be much appreciated. Do you know where I can get a new RunDLL32.exe file?

If you have problems, post a new message on the appropritate forum. Trying to follow directions for a different OS, will get you nowhere.

Anyway, I felt I had to chip in here after reading several threads on this and other forums about rundll32 having gone missing. A number of helpful people suggested a variety of fixes, such as running msconfig, sfc and the like. Well..when rundll32 is missing, these commands don't work.
