That Rundll32.exe Is In The Taskbar But No In My Operting System
Feb 10, 2005
My task manager says a program called rundll32.exe is running, and I don't think that should be running in Windows XP, which is my operating system. It is not running on my wife's computer, which is also running Win XP. I have ran AVG free edition scans on my system both in regular windows and in safe mode, and it comes back virus free. I have also ran Panda on-line scan in windows but it also shows the computer to be virus free. Have an anti-trojan program on my machine, called The Cleaner, that also shows no infection. However, that rundll32.exe is in the taskbar and I don't believe it should be there. I am including a copy of my hijack this log if it will be of any assistance.

I'm running Windows XP Home edition SP2, and my System Restore does not work. When I try to start System Restore from the Help and Support section, I get the "System Restore Application has encountered an error" message and when I check the technical details, I get this error signature: AppName: rstrui.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.2180 ModName: srrstr.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00009826

I know this operation is needed for some parts of Windows to function, but it sounds like a Trojan can also use this file to slow your computer. Norton 2005 says it doesn't seem to be harming my sysetm, but my stsem has seemed to be slowing lately. Also, on my Ctrl + Alt + Delete it says rundll32.exe is running at startup. Should it be running at startup, and how do I know if I have the Trojan or not?

With XP Pro SP2, I enable "Group similar taskbar buttons". I generally have my taskbar stretched 2 to 3 rows even so. Sometimes, when I have a lot of windows open, and the similar taskbar buttons group and stack themselves, so 1 button contains 2 or 3 open tasks, I can't get any action out of the buttons that represent multiple open tasks.
Any of the taskbar buttons that represent a single open task are fine. But any buttons that represent multiple open tasks don't respond. I have to do Alt -
Tab to bring a task to the front, if it's one of the tasks on a button that represents a group. Or I can go to Taskbar Properties, and deselect "Group similar taskbar buttons".

I've just switched from 98 to XP. I find now that the window designations in the taskbar for my *browser windows only* are severely and unaccountably truncated. My browser is IE6. Even if there's only one window open, if it's a browser window, only one letter will display. Other windows will properly display the full name. I've turned taskbar grouping on and off with no change. I've also run the SFC utility, with no change. There is no such problem in my Win98 machine, and my security settings (and all other settings) are the same. I don't wish to upgrade to IE7.

I want to see all task bar buttons and not have them grouped. XP Taskbar menu offers check "Group similar taskbar buttons." I leave this unchecked, then Apply, then OK. XP still groups the similar buttons (e.g., Word doc1, Word doc2, etc.) instead of having these ungrouped.

I swear, my OS is really a virus. I have a multitude of issues here, of which I am just totally lost on.Issue #1: My folders rename themselves. They do it without me installing any new software or anything else. The folders that appear to re-name are My Computer, Network Neighborhood, My Documents. When this crazy thing hits, then if I name them back to whatever I want, they "magially" rename themselves again, and I do not have to be doing anything. Of course, many times when I reboot this happens. I even went as far as manually editing the registery and still no luck, these puppies rename themself. This is on both my desktop and laptop.Issue #2: My taskbar icons do not always show. A lot of important ones that should be there are not. I do not have the "hide inactive icons" checked, in fact, I did so just to see if those other icons would appear.

This seems to have occurred in conjunction with my switching from add-in video card back to the on-board display adapter (something I've done numerous times before without a problem). Perhaps it's unrelated.No other functional problems that I've seen.I ran AVG anti-virus scan, as well as CounterSpy spyware scan. Both found zero problems.

Every now and then the icons in the system tray freeze, and when I put my mouse over the windows the text disappears and the tool tips are blank black squares... how can I fix this? >.> (a temporary for me to fix this problem is to kill the explorer.exe process and restart it)

When I shut the system down and box pops up and says rundll32.exe has encountered an error and it ask's me to 'end now' or 'exit'. If I 'exit' nothing will happen and the system will not shut down so I have to select 'end now'.

For some reason, when my partner's computer boots up, the Windows taskbar is frozen, sometimes for up to a couple of minutes. When it finally becomes available, the Start menu etc works fine, but the system tray does not display everything that it should (for example the volume control) even though I have set it to "always show" in Properties>Customise

I use XP Media Center, Avast AV, new computer, and I'm an intermediate user. Yesterday, after rebooting the desktop, start menu and taskbar began flashing with a system beep. What I mean by "flashing" is the taskbar and start button would go off, the system would beep, then they return and do it again and again. It is working right now but I'm lucky for that. I ran a virus scan and spyware scan and my system has been cleaned, defragged and a disk scan has been performed (no negative results). When I boot in Safe Mode, it's ok. I did the elimination process through MSConfig and when the services are stopped, the problem is not apparent. Turn them on, and it's there again. Here is my Hijack report below......

i always see rundll32.exe running in the taskmanager.i already know the basics abotu this program: it runs when you view ie properties or add/remove prog list, etc.the rundll32.exe thing pops up outta nowhere in the taskmanager.or sometimes, a flash pop-up ad comes up on the screen blocking everything. when i press the close button, rundll32.exe is still running. i hafta "end task" mto get rid of it completely (sometimes sound is still runing as well, until i end the task)ok so now, after about an hour using my computer, rundll32.exe appears on the tm again. it usually, if not always, comes in a pair. NOW, i see more and more being added every few hours/day. there are currently four of them running right now.

i think my rundll32.exe file got deleted and i tried downlaoding it again but that didn't work. I looked in system32 and it shows its there but the icon is a piece of paper, not a .exe icon, and it is preventing me from running programs, uninstalling programs and downloading anything. What do I do?

When right clicking my windows XP desktop and selecting properties I get the following error:"Rundll32.exe - bad image" The application or DLL C:windowssystem32 hemeui.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."This error began occcuring after installing new video drivers for my 128 DDR ATI Radeon 9700 TX video card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, and returning to an older set of drivers. No luck. While in safe mode I get the same error.On a potentially related note, attempting to access system performance settings from system properties also gives the same error.Otherwise everything else on my system appears to be working perfectly fine.

I got stuck with the Run32dll.exe virus. Noticed that IE was extremely slow and crashing constantly and task manager actually had 2 'Run32dll.exe' programs running and hogging up 100% cpu usage. I just did a Hijack this scan based on what I read from previous posts but I am not sure where to take it from here. I also noticed that something called 'SurfBuddy' is in there and have no idea where that came from. So if anyone can take a look at this Hijack This log and let me know what I should check off to be fixed that would be great. As you can see there are 4 run32dll.exe
