My relevant spec are:

I would try reformating your harddrive.
Since you've had a failed reinstall you might as well go whole hog. My guess is that you have some weirded out dll files which are not being over-written.

I'm beginning to wonder if there is a virus involved. So it would be best to go back to the felt and start again. The back news is you lose your data and your installed programs.

If you go to 'details' it says: 'RUNDLL caused a general protection fault in module MMSYSTEM.DLL at 000a:0032'.

I went to the Microsoft support site, and read a FAQ article which said to edit my System.ini file in notepad to ensure there was a proper line for "run dll".

My recollection is there was a "run power dll" or somesuch, so I changed it to what the Microsoft FAQ recommended and saved the file, but it has not fixed the problem.

Not only does this box stay up (if you close it, the commputer crashes) but the screen resolution is terrible, and sometimes the computer just crashes anyway.

Could someone please email me some instructions to fix this?

Thank you very much.

When i start my sisters computer, This message pops up saying Explorer: This program has caused an illegal operation and will be shutdown. If the problem persists, please contact the program vendor. I went to windows.com and they said to run it in Safe mode, which i did, But, THEY told me i could point to the start menu, But the same error message pops up so i can't even get into windows to possibly fix the problem. I just uninstalled AOL, and After that, it did not work.

'Cannot find c:\windows\RunDLL.exe. Windows needs this file to run c:\windows\RunDLL.exe'

I have checked the path and the file does exist on that directory

Go here, and get the instructions on how to fix this..for the LSPFix tool, search on google for this and you will find it in a zip file easily. Email me for more help if you need it. Thanks

cheers

First, a dll file is a dynamic link library. What does this mean? It's a file that can be shared amongst other programs, so that you can save space when installing. Rundll32.exe is one of the most popular dll files, along with the kernel32. These files can be saved in one of 2 places, either in the windows\system folder, or in the folder of the program that is going to use it. So yes, you can have multipe .dll's that are identical, but just stored in different areas. Usually, if a .dll file has been updated in the program, it will install the new .dll file with the program directory. In other cases, if the program calls for a specific .dll file, it will try and find in the directory, and if it's not in there, then it will go to windows\system folder. If it's not in the program directory or the windows\system directory, then you usually get your errors.

There are several ways to fix such errors, some easy, some not so easy. First, read your error message. Read what it says. If it says that a specific program cannot find that .dll file, then reinstall the application. It will then reinstall the .dll file. Also, as one person had mentioned, always a good idea to scan for virus' when you can. Another way, you can run from start/run, this command with the windows cd in the drive... sfc /scannow. That will scan all your system files and install any that are missing or corrupt.

You do not need this file!

Please do not delete it before running isp fix as it causes you to lose your internet connection.

Search net for great little program called isp fix - I found it by searching for LSP FIX - New Dot - not net dot as I previously said.

It will delete files that are unneccesary for you.

I still get error message as I DELETED FILES BEFORE RUNNING PROGRAM but it doesn't affect performance.
