Greetings,

You can do one of two things. First, go to the Microsoft support page, do a query for rundll32, and you'll find links that will allow you to download the file. Simply put the file in the c:\windows folder.

Second, you can go to Start, Run, and enter sysedit. Several windows will appear, one of which is Win.ini. In either that file (or possibly one of the others) is a line calling for the file rundll32. Just remove that line and save the file.

Be advised, however, that something was loaded that presumably uses that file. So I'd try my first option first.

Regards,

Maxwell

P.S.

In your browser, enter Q164787.

That will take you to links providing Microsoft information on the file rundll32, and what it does.

Good luck,

Maxwell

Put in the Operating System disk in CD-ROM drive
Click Start,Programs,Command Prompt and type CD\Windows and press enter
Type expand D:\i386\rundll32.ex_rundll32.exe(whereas letter represents CD-ROM drive)
Type exit and press Enter
Using the system file checker in System Tools will have the required results also
