After booting up OK, any attempt to click on the Start button leads to a box appearing labelled RUNDLL. Within this box the letter 'r' is repeatedly and continuously printed. The box can be closed but the error recurs if the Start button is clicked again. At the same time there are intermittent 'bleeps' from the speakers, and clicking on ANY icon on the desktop opens only the recycle bin! If you try making a search with Google again the letter 'r' is repeatedly generated in the seach box.
Repeated scans with (updated) Norton Antivrus 2005 and with Ad-aware have not helped. Strangely, at some times the computer behaves completely normally.

Error loading C:windows patchw32.dll The specified module could not be found
I have checked on the C:windows|npatchw32.dll file and it appears to be spyware that has been removed but I need help in removing the run dll notification
I believe its a problem with the actual start up button instead of the computer itself, ive pried the thing open, seeing the generator is on, everythings in place and there are lights on, showing there is power. any ideas?
Does anyone know HOW to delete, an error box when I start up Win XP home sp2? I believe this crept into my system, from downloading MS windows screensavor/background theme for desktop, from WIN MS website. I have gone into "search", and tried to find this error in C drive, folders, programs, searhing under "MYWEBS", MWSBAR, DLL, bar, bins, etc. No luck! I think it is located in HKLMsoftware? I did the same stupid mistake over a year ago, and the cox dsl man, removed the error message. Here is the error box: RUNDLL ERROR C:PROGRAMMYWEBS~1ar1.binMWSBAR.DLL
"Windows can't find Rundll.exe". Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try it again. To search for a file click the Start button and then click Search.
My start button, the quick launch bar and the task bar where the clock is and where it shows what windows you have open is all gone. I was playing a game and when I exited out of it it was all missing. If the game matters it was Hidden Expedition Everest. I ran spybot and AVG antivirus. All is clean.
Can someone please tell me how fix DOS so that I can bypass the necessity of pressing the F1 button when starting Windows XP Home. I remember fixing this years ago with a 486, but I've forgotten the DOS commands.
my problem is i installed 7-zip on my pc i am using it to open rar files and its working ok.but i have noticed everytime i click the start button and the all programs menu comes up a yellow dialogue box keeps appearing with new programs installed how do i stop this appearing.
I turn on my computer today and everything loads up. I click on fire fox to do my usual morning surfing and then I realize I have to check my outlook express. I minimize the firefox and it DISAPEARS! Not reduced to the task bar thing, becuase it (Along with the Start Button) are gone! How do I get them back!
computer won't start when off-on button is pushed but will start on its own at a later time, maybe 1 hour later or many hours later.Yesterday I had no luck starting it first thing in the morning so I left it all day ( still not going) woke up this morning and the computer is up and running and I havn't touched it since the day before.
After pressing the start button, and going to either retart or turn off, this does not work I have to press the power button on the pc tower for at least 2 minutes. Why does this happen and how can I fix it?
Hello, The other day I formatted my computer and reinstalled everything back onto it. I've run a few spyware scans and deleted all (most were cookies) and also some virus scans with AVG. It picked up about 11 viruses! but I quarantined them. Anyways, the problem is there's no shutdown or run button on my start menu! I've never heard of that before. So I'm wondering what it is. I've tried to access the registry editor by pressing Windows + R, typing regedit in Command Prompt, and browsing through the Windows folder for it, but it comes up with "Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator" I don't get this, I AM the administrator! What could it be!?
If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup,where you can't access the Start button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service running in the background. Microsoft put out a patch for this but it didn't work for me. Here's what you do:1. Click on Start/Run, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.2. Go to the 'Services' tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service, disable it, apply the changes & reboot.
I have two users and one has everything. The other is fully functional yet without the start button or the task bar. I cannot shut down or minimize or i will loose that page. I have tried to increase resolution and this shrinks everything yet the missing items do not appear.
One of the biggest problems I'm having with this activation problem is that I have no task bar in the safe mode. The only way I can get anything to run is through the run command in the task manager (ctrl-alt-del still works).Is there a way to get the start key back?
The only way I can get started is Control/Alt/Delete, which raises Task Manager, then enter URL for Internet Explorer (.exe) to get into the internet, then either hit the Read Mail button to get Outlook Express, or enter the Outlook Express URL into Task Manager.Can't access C-drive at all. Haven't tried A or D drives yet
recently I loaded up my computer, logged inunder my user profile (I'm running Windows XP SP2), Everything looked normal until the system completed loading and my wallpaper icons vanished (Wallpaper stays), My start button & Task manager bar vanished as well(including the clock).I logged out of my profile, and was able to use the profile I had set up for my mom for about a day... but then her profile did the same thing. I tried my daughter's profile and everything is gone.When I looked in my listing of what applications are running, I've noticed that my explorer.exe is gone.
My Task manager has been disabled what can I do to Keep it going? The second problem is that my turn off computer button will not stay on my start menu. I have tried a few different things that people have told me, but everytime I reset, it goes back to no button.
when I Right click the Program Icon from the System tray ( Task Bar ), the drop down list of the programs which gives options is appear from the other corner (where the windows start button/Icon) of top of the Start button?
I attempt to start search from the start button explorer hangs. when i open task manager it shows explorer is using up all of the cup time and the only thing i can do is end the task and restart. Whenever i start a search from within a window it works perfectly.
Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to get these back on the screen. My kids were playing with the computer and now the first row of icons on the left have moved off screen (all icons have shifted left), and even the bar at the bottom with the Start button has shifted left. BTW, this is a Korean version of XP.
The desktop in my daughter's Inspiron 6000(4 years old machine. WindowsXP home) has no icons, taskbar or start button. This began yesterday morning. No new downloads before this started. Trojan removed two months ago from the system and has been working well since.Problem seems to be common going by my search but the only solution that everyone seems to be leading to eventually is a repair re-install. Have tried reinstalling explorer.exe to no avail. I only get a one second flash of the taskbar. Any suggestions before doing the re-install? BTW, checked for new malware, the system is clean.
