Title: rundll32.exe missing
Post by: arlene on November 19, 2004, 09:46:41 PM
On start up, I received an error message that a dll file was restored successfully. but all wireless connections were lost and a WEP key had to be reentered.  After putting it back in,  the connection was restored but now I cannot start any programs. I keep receiving the error message "rundll32.exe is missing"  . I searched the internet and looked for help and tried to reinstall from the XP CD and I keep getting the error message  'EXPAND.EXE not found", when typing in START>RUN> expand\D:i386\rundll32.ex c:\windows\rundll32.exe.  My only recourse is reinstalling Windows XP operating system.  Do you have any suggestions on what to try next?  I think I really need some help.
thanks

Make sure you have the Windows XP in your drive

Ensure you typed it correctly and make sure D is your CD drive

expand  X:\i386\rundll32.ex_ c:\windows\rundll32.exe

X being your CD drive

Or try from a command prompt
Start>>>Run>>type in cmd then hit Enter
Type the above and hit Enter

Restart your computer

But this usually happens when your hit by a virus, I suggest you try and Online Virus scan
at RAV's
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ (http://\"http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/\")
When you access that link with Internet Explorer
click on the "To Continue without subsribing click here" link
It will load the activex and dat files

Ensure that all the top entries are checked
Autoclean--Inside Archives---Unpack Executables---Smart Scan
Then click the Scan my PC button
Let it completely finish scanning
Copy and Paste the results back here

You should also post a Hijackthis log so we can see if we can Identify any changes in the registry
Important
Create a Permanent Folder for Hijackthis
Double Click "MY Computer"
Open your C: drive
Click "File" >>> "New" >>>> "Folder"
A new folder will be created, name it HJT

Now you will have C:\HJT

Download Hijackthis from HERE (http://\"https://ssl.perfora.net/tools.radiosplace.com/HijackThis.exe\") or HERE (http://\"http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe\")
Save it to that new folder

Do a SCAN----Scan will change to SAVE LOG----copy and paste the WHOLE contents of the log
here... Don't try and fix anything yet----It is all important

Could you also Set Windows to Show Hidden Files and Folders
* Click Start.
    * Open My Computer.
    * Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    * Select the View Tab.
    * Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
    * Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
    * Uncheck the Hide Extensions for known file types
    * Click Yes to confirm.
    * Click OK.

Search for rundll32.exe in this folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32
let me know if you can find it and if you can, right click on it and click properties
Let me know file size and date created

Also, let me know if you can find rundll32.exe in this folder
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DLLCACHE

Can you open up any programs?
Can you use your Unzipping utility for Windows XP to extract a file downloaded from the net?

I downloaded Hijackthis.exe and when I try to RUN it I receive the same message that I receive from all of my other icons when I try to run it.
Windows cannot open this file
File : Hijackthis.exe

To open this windows needs to know which program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, o you can manually select from a list of programs on your computer.

What do you want to do?

 a) Use the web service to find the appropriate program

/cool.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'B)\' /> Select the program from the list

A thought occured to me. Right before this situation happened ( night before) I did something dumb and let the battery run out . When the power cord was put it ,everything was activated and working properly. I did not shut the computer down and restart. Next day I did a shut down and then I received the .dll recovery message and the problems began.  I am sorry I forgot this info , I did not think it mattered.
I cannot run Hijack this . I am going to try the last instructions that you gave me which was sending you the hidden files.  I will add to the next post.

I was curious if you can unzip files

Try download this registry fix
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/xp_exe_fix.zip (http://\"http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/xp_exe_fix.zip\")

Save it and UNZIP it to your desktop
Double click on xp_exe_fix.reg  and Allow it to merge to the registry

Restart your computer and try sending me a Hijackthis log

Rundll32.exe was found.
file size = 32.5 kb
Created March 30, 2003


Rundll32.exe is not found in c"\widonds\system32\DLLCACHE

I cannot open any programs


I am not sure where the Unzipping utility for Windows XP is to extract a file download ?  Can you give me some help with this?
Title: rundll32.exe missing
Post by: guestolo on November 20, 2004, 02:40:49 PM
The zipping utility is incorporated in the right click option

If your having problems just download the reg file directly from here
xp_fix_exe.reg
Save it to your desktop
Close out all windows including this one, double click on the reg file and allow it to Merge to the registry
Restart your computer and post back

Don't give up
Try download it from that direct link I gave you

Try restarting into  
Safe Mode (http://\"http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001060608000039?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=4#_Section4\") and merging it

UNZIP it to your desktop and Double click on the
xp_fileassoc.bat to run it

Hi
I was successful with the .Bat file and it looks like everything is working properly.

 I did not get prompted for anything, it ran quickly and I rebooted and it looks good
Thank you so much !  

Can you tell me how I got into this mess?  Was it the battery running out,  a virus?
Title: rundll32.exe missing
Post by: guestolo on November 20, 2004, 03:48:08 PM
Good to hear atomilano

I would of bet a virus, it's possible the registry became corrupt
I can't see it happening with a dead battery
I just plugged my Laptop back in to recharge backup  /biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

I would still like to see a Hijackthis log, let's make sure you are clean

Your log looks good, just a little bit of cleaning up

Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a tick next to these entries

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)

O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Sun Java Console - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - (no file)


After you have ticked the above entries, close all open windows, including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and FIX CHECKED
Yes to the prompt and exit Hijackthis

Restart your computer

For a little added protection you may be interested in this free program
SpywareBlaster by JavaCool---will block bad ActiveX and malevolent cookies
Install---Check for Updates---Enable all protection
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html (http://\"http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\")
It doesn't run in the background, just do the above and check for updates every couple of weeks

I see you have Spybot installed.
Is it version 1.3, I would think it would be
You can use Spybot Immunization feature to add a little extra protection too
Simply open Spybot
Click on Immunize>>>OK>>>Click Immunize at the top

What operating system are you running?
Can you post a hijackthis log?, instructions are above in this post

You tried the .bat file
Did you try the other exe fix in this thread from Dougknox?

Have you tried an online virus scan

I recommend trying one at Housecall's---Set to Autoclean
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ (http://\"http://housecall.trendmicro.com/\")

and/or at Panda's
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/co...n_principal.htm (http://\"http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm\")

Try and post a hijackthis log if you can

Need more info about operating system and such
Title: rundll32.exe missing
Post by: v3rtige on December 02, 2004, 08:26:23 PM
The operating system is Windows XP Pro w/ SP1
Hijackthis wont run, it does the same as the .bat file.
When I tried to run the file from Dougknox i got "Windows cannot open this file: File: xp_exe_fix.reg
To open this file Windows needs to know what program created it. etc...."

Housecall did not work
Panda's worked and found + repaired some viruses' but i still have the same problem

What did Panda find?
Did you keep not of the infections if any

Try one more Online Virus scan, then we can look in your folders for anything that was renamed
We can try a system restore from a command line, but try this first

Do a free Online AV scan at RAV's
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ (http://\"http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/\")
When you access that link with Internet Explorer
click on the "To Continue without subsribing click here" link
It will load the activex and definition files

Ensure that all the top entries are checked
Autoclean--Inside Archives---Unpack Executables---Smart Scan
Then click the 'Scan my PC button'
Let it completely finish scanning
When it's complete, copy and paste the results back here

I'm uploading a file
Rundll32.exe (http://\"http://www.freewebs.com/benditup/rundll32.exe\")

Save that file to your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder

Allow it to overwrite if prompted
That file is from an Windows XP SP2 machine

If you have trouble with the link, just right click on it and copy the shortcut and paste it in IE's address bar and hit GO

Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries
Keep in mind that red.clientapps is red sheriff spyware

After you have ticked the above entries, close down all other open windows, including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
YES and exit hijackthis

RESTART your computer

Is everything running better?
Post back with another Hijackthis log

If .exe's are still not opening properly

Try download this registry fix
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/xp_exe_fix.zip (http://\"http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/xp_exe_fix.zip\")

Save it and UNZIP it to your desktop

Can you also set Windows to Show Hidden Files and folders
* Click Start.
    * Open My Computer.
    * Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    * Select the View Tab.
    * Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
    * Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
    * Uncheck the Hide Extensions for known file types
    * Click Yes to confirm.
    * Click OK.

Restart your computer into Safe mode
You can do this by tapping the F8 key on the keyboard and when the computer is booting up

Navigate to and delete this file if found
C:\Documents and Settings\Fam\Application Data\hsap.exe <--file

Also navigate to these folders
Delete the WHOLE contents, including subfolders, DON'T delete the Temp folders themselves
# C:\Windows\Temp\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
# C:\Documents and Settings\<Any other users Profile>\Local Settings\Temp\

Look for the other file found bad by Rav's and delete it

Restart back into Normal mode

Title: rundll32.exe missing
Post by: .s1 on December 12, 2004, 11:12:54 PM
As if i didnt have enough problems, it seems none of these images are working either.... But hopefully you get the idea



Hi,

First off let me just mention that i am anything but computer illiterate , but this problem is getting even the better of me.

- Im havin the same problem as everyone in the past 3 pages.
I have tried the fix.zip, i have tried the expand thru start >run as well as thru the command prompt, I have scanned with that virus thingy, found nothing. I scanned with the symantec.com virus scanner, nothing. Hell, i even downloaded the friggin rundll32.exe itself , added it to windows & windows\sys32 , (over wrote in both areas ) restarted my computer and same thing.  /dry.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'<_<\' />

Before & After restart
(http://s1pwnsyou.camaroz.net/error.jpg) - Error shown here; Same one as everyone else

Only way to open ICONS

Right click on the icon, click "run as" then UNCHECK the

This option can prevent computer viruses from harming your computer or personal data, but selecting it might cause the program to function improperly. "

But as far as opening add/remove programs or anything else that may be "important" im screwed.

Ill post my findings from that 1 virus scan place, as well as hijack.

Hi .s1, is that your Hijackthis log above?
What is the exact error message your getting, I believe the other users couldn't run .exe files
I see you posted a hijackthis log, so that's not it
Also look in your C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder
Do you see rundll32.exe?
What other files do you see that begin with run

Would you be able to start a fresh topic in this forum and post your log
May not be as confusing

Whoever posted as GUEST
I see a lot of problems in your log
Let me know what spyware removal tools your using...
I have links to some, don't go download the first one you see  /wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />

Please start your own topic, thanks

[quote name=\'guestolo\' post=\'16954\' date=\'Nov 20 2004, 04:02 PM\']Let's try this method
Download this Zipped file xp_fileassoc.zip (http://\"http://www.dougknox.com/xp/fileassoc/xp_fileassoc.zip\")
UNZIP it to your desktop and Double click on the
xp_fileassoc.bat to run it
Follow the prompts

RESTART your computer afterwards[/quote]

Guestolo,

Thank you... the two files you pointed out did the trick for me. I'd already removed the pesky menace that caused the problem and was left with the registry & association damage.

Thanks again!
Robert

Good work, may I suggest that you post a Hijackthis log, start a new topic to post it
Here's the instructions
http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22942 (http://\"http://www.thetechguide.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22942\")

There may be leftovers, it's up to you RobertMfromLI
But it may not be a bad idea, I'll look at it first chance I can

but since this topic is so old, I'll now lock it
