i dwloaded a file from shareza - which i finally deleted but it would open a load other files in that folder(like game/programs/software patches,cheats,crack - it was meant to be solsuite of something like that) etc things files all where the same size and they where unable to be opened?? i could delete them but on restartin the pc they would all come back - the only file i could not delete was solsuit filethat i originally dwloaded - it was unaccessable,in use?

ok now i cant seem to open my icons without having to show where the exec' file is - i cant access some control panel options i get a error windows/system32/rundll32.exe - application not found ??

any advice-help

thanks

thanks ddp (i haven't done thoses steps yet - but i will tonight)

i have got trend micro security but install after this problem occurred - i did scan hd and it didnt find any viruses?? i still am having alot of the above problems still - So do i have a virus?

i can however click on my computer - internet explorer and surf net without a prob - its just everything else i try and open either states rundll32 program not found - even though it is in the windows direct - or it has to be opened with me finding the original links each time i want to use a program eg counter strike - msn - control panel icons? normally state error rundll32??????

Maybe some virus has deleted that file? That's just a guess.
You can find rundll32.exe here -> http://www.richardthelionhearted.com/~merijn/winfiles.html#rundll32

Boot to Safe Mode and you will have an option to do a system restore from there.

Good luck!

thanks guys Merry christmas and best for the new year

just got back from holidays and switch on pc with same prob - i went to some web site and found some info about exe. files not working and some info on doing something in my registry - once i done that it all seem to work, got my exe files working and network all running and thats from travelling from 4am back home at 9:30 becaue the temperture that day was 42 degrees - god knows how i even managed to do it - but at least its working - yah :)

(for whatever reason i couldn't do a restore because it wouldn't open the exe file to do this) thanks for all the replys and help
