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)

“Warning! spyware detected on your computer” Free removal instructions

The specific warning message may sometimes be pasted on the desktop by some adware and spyware programs. This are fake alerts generated by the spywares that prompts the user to download and pay the amount for specific antivirus product.

Most of the antivirus may not be able to remove this fake alert and rectify the entries in the registry.

The screen may appear like this-

When this type of the infection happens the "desktop" and the "background" option in properties window gets dispabled so that the user may not be able to change the desktop appearence or to remove the above shown screen.

If the "desktop" and the "background" option is enabled with any third party tool or the .reg files the screen will disappear but will reappear when rebooted. So it is recommended to remove the fake alert spyware to completely remove the infection.

I recommend to use the free vesion of the "Stopzilla" that will resolve the issue. To down load the trail version click here.

Out of memory error

This error applies to MicrosoftWindows 95, and Windows 98 users . This error is due to the poor memory management of Windows 98 becausethe amount of physical memory has absolutely no impact on system resources. However,we can increase the Maximum Cache Size.

1. Open the System.ini file in a text editor, such as Microsoft Windows Notepad.
2. Go to the [VCache] section.
3. Change the MinFileCache= and the MaxFileCache= settings to the desired value.

NOTE: The value for these settings are in kilobytes. For example, if you want tocreate a 50-MB cache that cannot exceed 55 MB, the lines would be as follows:

[VCache]
MinFileCache=51200
MaxFileCache=56320

Information: Most .ini files have been replaced by the Windows registry in recent versions of Windows. The registry can be written to by most applications to store user settings and preferences.
