That actually happened to me once. The help and support center in windows has a walk-through for recovering the file.\n\nHere's what help and support says:\n\nSYMPTOMS\nWhen you open Control Panel, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:\nWindows cannot find C:&#92;Windows&#92;Rundll32.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.\nCAUSE\nThis issue occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This issue may also be caused by a virus. \nRESOLUTION\nTo resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Put the Windows XP CD ROM disk in the CD ROM drive.  \n2. Click Start, and then click Run. \n3. Type expand X:&#92;i386&#92;rundll32.ex_ c:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;rundll32.exe in the Open box, where X is the letter of your CD ROM Drive.  \n4. Restart the computer. \n\nMORE INFORMATION\nFor more information or if you suspect you might have a virus, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: \n306913 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306913/) Error message caused by Sircam32 virus when you start a program \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAPPLIES TO\n• Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition \n• Microsoft Windows XP Professional

well what happen is that windows root directory was corrupted, these is could be a result of a vireus, what u can do is re-install windows, but i'm guessing that u dont wanna loose the info, so what u do is just skeep the formating, ,,,that is the siplest thing u can do, then there are two more options, u can try and find out what files in the root dierectory are missing or are corrupted, and try and replease them by hand,,, these takes a lot of experience, but here is how to do it,,,, u put the XP cd on, and u boot from it (if u dont knw how then u shouldnt even be attempting these, cuz u wont understand the rest) then when it ask u waht u wanna do, u press R these is gonna take u to the recovery console, then u gonna have to go to the C: directory by typing "C:" then u gonna have to open the cd, that way u can see what's on it, then u gonna have to to and look for the file manually,,the file is gonna be in the cd in a folder called "I386" then u gonna have to right down the path u gonna need it, ok, once u located the file then u gonna have to go back to the root directory and change where u at for the path of the file that is missing, then u gonna type "copy" and the a path of the file that u wrote down,, then u goona accept,, that is what u need to do,,,or the last option,, call a technician,,, if u need help u can contact me, i'm an A+ certified technician,

Depends on the dll and what you're doing. Could be that you're missing something linked or an install went haywire.

If you are missing a dll file you should solve that problem first.  That is a main file to make your computer run.  If you are having problems with any programs that is the reason.  You can try Yahoo Chat to make friends you can chat by state, or whatever.  Give it a try I met my true love on there.

If you mean dll files that belong to a windows install, you could always repair the install or re-install. If you are missing just one, try going to Google and searching for the dll file. I am sure you can find it for download.

Get an anti-virus and delete or clean the virus. Or if no hope is left reinstall Windows. Next time, avoid bad sites.

All you have to do is download http://www.afreedll.com/browse/v.html\nor copy this .dll file from a working Windows System into C:&#92;WINNT&#92;system32

I have doing these for as long time , it's simple and easy to do. As was stated above don't forget to save all your important files \nThough after reinstalling windows don't forget to update drivers for the components from their manufacturers site and also dont forget about http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx it helps you if you have games running.\nGood Luck

Look down the list and often by looking at the file name or the folder it is in you can guess what it controls.  If not, try turning it off, reboot and see what happens.  \n\nThe worst that could happen is your computer might hang up before it gets all the ay into Windows.  Then you would need to reboot in Safe Mode (press the F8 key during the initial boot up and when the menu appears select Safe Mode).  \n\nIn Safe Mode none ot the startup stuff it loaded.  Go into msconfig and turn whatever it was back on.\n\nLittle bit of trial and error and you should be able to detect what you do and don't want to run.

You might check your hosts file to see if things are amuck in there.  It's located at:\nC:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92;drivers&#92;etc\n\nJust open it in notepad.

First try running a System Restore. If that doesn't work you will have to boot to the Windows CD and run a "repair installation".

It may be possible that your Windows get corrupt. Try reinstalling it.

Start -> Run -> Regedit\n\nOn the left hand side menu find:\n\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;\n  SOFTWARE&#92;\n    Microsoft&#92;\n      Windows&#92;\n        CurrentVersion&#92;\n          Run\n\nIf there's an entry on the right hand side that mentions helper.dll, click on that line and hit the delete key.\n\nOther place to check: Start -> Programs -> Startup

back up all your data first...\n\ninsert your windows cd into your drive, reboot your pc and make sure you bios is set to boot from cd.\n\ngo through the questions and answer them.\n\nin about an hour your done...\n\nunless you have hardware that the windows cd doesnt contain drivers for, then you have to install those too... you should have these drivers but if not dont despair, you should be able to get them back.

depending on which verion of windows you are using and also with game or program the dll is for. \n\non windows xp the dll file will need to be placed in the windows&#92;system32 directory.\n\non windows 98 it can be either windows&#92;system or windows&#92;system32 \n\nor you can try the dll file in the directory of the program or game you are trying to run or use.\n\ncheers\nnick
