RunDLL32.
exe is an integral part of the Windows system, which is responsible for a huge amount of important tasks inside your PC.
Unfortunately, it's also one of the biggest causes of problems for your computer, including the infamous "RunDLL32.
exe Is Missing" error.
To fix this error, there are some things you can do and here they are...
In order to properly fix this error, you first need to understand why it's causing so many problems.
RunDLL32.
exe and RunDLL.
exe are two files that all Windows programs use to load up functions and settings that are stored inside ".
dll" files.
There are a lot of.
dll files on your system which store functions that software programs can read.
They are basically like storage facilities for your PC, allowing it to keep a lot of common features for software so that developers do not have to continually write masses of code for menial tasks like exiting a program, etc.
Each time you use your software, they open many different DLL files, and they do that by first using RunDLL to open them.
The reason why RunDLL constantly posts "missing" errors is because this file is the target of many viruses, and is prone to becoming corrupted.
There is a simple method to fix this problem and the first thing you need to do is to run an anti virus scan on your system.
Viruses often target RunDLL because it's a central part of Windows.
They generally latch onto this part of your system and then change the executable file so that it cannot be recognized by Windows.
This problem is a big issue for Windows as it means that you could get many different viruses trying to change this file & causing the error you are seeing.
The first thing you need to do is to get a virus scanner to scan for any viruses on your PC.
If this does not work, then you should try repairing your system.
This is done by loading the "Windows Installation CD" and performing a repair install.
The repair installation will replace any system files on your computer and should place a fresh copy of RunDLL on your system as well.
This will not ruin your PC or delete your files, but it's advised that you do back up your data before hand.
You should also try using a 'registry cleaner' to fix your system as well.
Registry cleaners are software tools which scan through the 'registry database' of your computer and fix any of the damaged / corrupted files that are inside there.
The registry holds a lot of DLL file references inside the registry, which basically tells Windows where to look for DLL files.
Unfortunately, it's often the case that a lot of these references become damaged and lead Windows to show the "Missing RunDLL" error.
To fix this, you should try using a registry cleaner to scan through the registry database and fix any of the DLL references that are damaged.
