rundll32.exe - cannot shutdow or restart.

[Guest nic]

I have to post this again.

 

Hi,

Every time I try to shutdown or restart I receive dialog box trying to end

rundll32.exe. Cannot shutdown or restart. I check the processes in task

manager and there are 2 rundll32.exe's running. This has been happening prior

to install Service pack3.

Toshiba A200

WinXP Pro Service Pack 3

CA Security Centre

 

Response:

Run these cleaners:

I ran the cleaners and still had the same issue, rundll32.exe will not let me

shutdown or restart.

I contacted Toshiba Tech Support they told me it's a Microsoft Windows

problem and to uninstall any software I had loaded one by one, if that failed

I should reinstall Windows.

I had only loaded two, Nokia PC Software, and CA Antivirus Plus 2008. I

uninstalled one by one and still rundll32.exe stop shutdown.

So, I reinstalled Windows off recovery disc not once but twice and still

have rundll32.exe problem.

This morning I decided to keep task manager open and monitor in alphabetical

order when this rundll32.exe would start it's process.

Well, it started when I used the Shortcut to Internet Options of the quick

launch bar to delete cookies, temporary internet files, history etc. Three

(3) rundll32.exe's started. Then a further two (2) rundll32.exe's started

when I used Disc Cleanup (I always use these features after using the

internet).

I now have five (5) rundll32.exe's running and they will not stop.

This time the start menu, the quick launch toolbar and the toolbar froze for

approx 2 minutes.

Any ideas Microsoft?

Thanking you in anticipation.

 

So, I’m still having this problem only when I access delete browsing history

via internet options.

Spyware?

Microsoft spyware?

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and

independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Re: rundll32.exe - cannot shutdow or restart.

 

I did, twice and did not load any software.

Immediately I tested the delete files in internet options, general tab,

browsing history. rundll32.exe kept duplicating itself but not ending when

finished.

What a nice polite person you are--especially considering that you're

asking for assistance with your problem.

 

You won't get any help from me, and I'm sure that lots of others here

who might be able to help you will feel the same way.

 

You may feel free to call me names too, if you like.
