Unable to acess systems in control panel as windows can't find u guessed it
rundll32.exe. Since i updted windows xp to sp2 every time i load cd in player
it comes up with not compatable due to cd being older version. can't acess
restore pionts except fot the last 14 days and they don't seem to be able to
be restored to that piont?
Any help would be great.

I hope I am in the right place. This might be long, but I have a lot
of things going on and this is just one of many problems that I can
find no other help for. OK, I have had some serious virus and/or
adware problems the last few days. I have run scan after scan
(Ad-Aware, Spybot, Norton Virus scan, Ccleaner, trendmicro, pcpitstop,
these are all I can remember, there may have been more), multiple times
per day, safe mode and normal. Apparently, on one of my scans, my
rundll32.exe file was deleted and I cannot figure out how to get it
back. When I try to do certain things like open My Computer
properties, or clean out IE cookies (from the desktop, I can do it if I
open the browser itself, but it was also hit by the virus, so it causes
its own problems), I get the following message:

Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe'. Make sure
you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a
file, click the Start button, and then click Search.

Well I did the search for it, it found nothing. It does not show up in
my processes listed in task manager anymore, and I think it used to.
In the middle of all these other problems, I deleted all system restore
points except the most recent one, but now I can't even do a system
restore, and it is turned off and it will not let me turn it back on.
One of the problems I was having was that some type of virus would try
to send spam from MY email account, using my IP address, causing my IP
to be blacklisted at some sites that I go to. I only mention that in
this posting in case it has anything to do with this. I am "this far"
from pulling my hair out because I cannot fix this! If anyone has any
suggestions at all, PLEASE let me know. I run WindowsXP Media Center
Edition, SP2 on a Dell Inspiron 6000 Notebook and I did not receive any
CD's with it. I will provide any other info that someone may think
useful in helping me. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Click Start, Run, type SFC /SCANNOW, click OK. If any are damaged or
missing files, they'll be replaced. You may need to reboot afterwards
so damaged files will be replaced.
