I would check in C:\windows and make sure that the rundll32 file is there. if not, you will need to get a copy of it and place it in there. ALSO... as you may know, the Sircam32 virus is still going around. Please verify that you do not have that virus as it deletes your rundll32 file. A quick way to tell is either perform a system search for any files with sircam in them or go to the root of C:\, locate the autoexec.bat file, right click it and choose edit. When the file opens in edit view if you see any entries related to sircam then you have the virus. Your post isn't really detailed about your error so it would be hard to pinpoint exactly what is up with your rundll32.exe file, but I am just suggesting this because here at my organization we have had a reoccurance of people missing their rundll32 files as a result of sircam32, so its just some added advice.

Run SFC to check your files and to enable you to extract missing files from your installation cd.

I had this problem with my parents PC, what I ended up re-doing is reformatting the drive; this sounds drastic, I know but I was told that it could be that a virus has corupted a file. If you know how to do this it is fine it not, maybe contact a friend to help you out.

Any questions e-mail me
