What is "run3dll.exe"??, and "tfswctrl.exe"??. They seem to control Internet Explorer, and other networking commands. When I try to shutdown the PC it gets hung at the "windows is now shutting down" screen. I "crtl. alt. delete" (task mgr.) and try shutdown from there. then I get these files saying they are not responding

help kye

Hi I did a search for you on google.
http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/tfswctrl.exe.html
The run3dll.exe was not found....are you sure that was the name?
Have you cleaned your PC of spy and Adware?

If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Glad to have a chance to help you.

File: tfswctrl.exe
Process name: Drive Letter Access Component
Product: DirectCD
Company: HP, Veritas, Sonic Solutions

Drive letter access to HP's and Veritas' version of DirectCD. Does the same thing as DirectCD. From HP - "This is a needed file as it controles the readability of the Combo drives. Without this file loading the end user will be able to burn CD's but wont be able to read them. The drive itself will be able to read store bought master Cd's without the file but not burnt ones"

run3dll.exe??? as in run32dll.exe is a baddie.
