When we ran an anti-virus something happened to my rundll32.exe file. Now when I try to open some programs I get the "windows can not find rundll32.exe..." my command prompt even recieves the message. My computer can not read the cd to reload windows. Some programs I can go to "run as" and click off "protect my computer... blah blah" and they will run. I don't know what to do, please help before I kill the dell.

Alright Meow

What has probably happened is that the virus corrupted your RUNDLL32.exe. You will have to put a clean file back in. These are on the XP CD. Stick the CD in. Open a CMD box from START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/COMMAND PROMPT
type in the following:-

expand <CD-ROM:>\i386\rundll32.ex_ %Systemroot%\rundll32.exe

where the <CD-ROM:> is your CD-ROM drive letter, like D: or E: (dont type in the <>)

That should put it back.

Safe COmputing...:o)
