    Cannot find the file C\WINDOWS\rundll 32.exe

    When I try to open any icons in Control Panel, I cant and I get the message below.
    "Cannot find the file C\WINDOWS\rundll 32.exe (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available."
    How do I fix this problem/? I am running Win98SE
    Thanks gladiator123

    If the file is RUNDLL32.EXE (without the space), it is know to be deleted by some malware:

    http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/w....html#rundll32

    You can download & replace it, scan your system for virus/trojan/spyware.

    Likewise if the filename does have the space in it, then check carefully for malware, or post a HijackThis log in the HJT Logfiles forum for analysis.
