Title: Problmes with XP and rundll32.exe
Post by: Soham Shah on August 10, 2009, 04:31:11 PM

Hello,

Whenever I try to open Control Panel>Add/Remove program or Command Prompt, i get an error saying that windows cannot find c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe  .. I dont know what's the problem with that ?? ..

In addition to that, I frequenly get generic host 32 error and RPC locator error and hence my internet connection gets stuck .. It's very frustrating ..

In addtiton to all these, i alos hv other nightmare ..

When I start my internet connection, in about 5-10 min, data usage becomes 20-30 MB(Download+Upload both) even if only gmail.com is open ..

So I'm worried that something somewhere is eating away my bandwidth and I'm predicting a higher bill this month ..

I hv several svchost.exe processes running in my task bar .. Is it the cause or something else??

Please helpme with this problem ..
