Rundll.exe error

Exact error message: Windows cannot find 'rundll.exe'. Make sure you typed the name coroctly and try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search.

rundll.exe is a Windows System process belonging to the Windows 95, 98 and ME range of Microsoft Windows products. This is an important system process and should not be terminated.

To resolve the issue you do not have to reformat and re-install anything. All you need do is locate the file rundll.ex_ on your Windows install CD (on Win2k and XP it's actually rundll32.ex_ in the I386 folder) then open a Command prompt on your PC and type for Win2k expand

D:\I386\rundll.ex_ C:\Winnt\system32\rundll32.exe

or in XP expand

D:\I386\rundll.ex_ C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe

This assumes D: is your CD drive. Change the D to whatever drive letter you use and if you are not using Win2k or XP then also change the I386 to wherever you found the rundll file (and change rundll32 to rundll as appropriate)
