HI when i right click on "My Computer" and left click on "properties", I get a "rundll32.exe - Bad Image" message. It says: "The application or DLL C:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll is not a valid windows image. please check this against your installation diskette." I have no idea what is it and how to make it dissapear. Any idea?? Thanks David

Here is some info about that DLL- http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/wuaueng/ I was wondering, have you ever installed anything related to Windows Update via a floppy disk ?? Does the same thing happen if you right click for both ??

The first thing I would try is to scan for possible corrupt dll's (Dynamic Link Library) files. Start>Run> type in SFC /SCANNOW Have your WinXP CD ready to insert when it asks for it. Perhaps "please check this against your installation diskette" means your install CD PhilC

i remember sometime ago I had a customer with this problem....search microsofts site...I think they have a fix for it. Also do as Phil suggested.

You can get info about rundll32.exe here- Task List Programs In testing My Computer Properties, I find that rundll32.exe comes up in Task Manager for me. Maybe I have a buggy dll file ? Does the same thing happen when you do- Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, then System

thank you all. no i did not install anything related to Windows Update via a floppy, but i have problems to update windows. at http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/wuaueng/, they recomend to run "WinTasks 5.0 Professional" so i will try to get it. I will do a SFC /SCANNOW and let you know. after reading about it i think it is related to the Windows® Update Agent (WUA) that i have downloaded a few days ago. I did not find a fix for that on microsoft site. Thanks and i will let you know. David

ok the problem has gone. PhilC you were right. i did a SFC /SCANNOW and it asked for my windows CD and now it's gone. thanks a lot David
