Hello, my problem is I some how lost or deleted my rundll32.exe file so I can not open any of my higher windows functions, add delete programs, display ect. Can anybody tell me how to get it back outside of a full install?

Go to start and then run

then type sfc /scannow and pop your windows cd in the cdrom drawer. See if it replaces it

The sfc or system file checker replaces system files that have been lost or damaged.

hi jtugwell
i have solved that problem before
at first i tried what MAYET kindly suggests to no avail
what i had to do was copy the rundll32.x file from another pc running the same version of windows, i used a USB pen drive and copied the file from c:/windows/system32 then i just copied it from the pen drive to the pc with the rundll32.exe file missing c:/windows/system32 this does work good luck

I think the question which needs asking is before all this how did
"Hello, my problem is I some how lost or deleted my rundll32.exe file"
Virus comes to mind.
