As the name suggests, a
Rundll error is related to DLL files, which form part of a large record of codes and information used by many of the programs on your computer. They are all linked to the Windows Registry and help to enhance the speed and memory effectiveness of your computer by using an identical code to run various tasks processed by various programs at a time. A Rundll error arises when a program is not granted access to this particular code, sometimes caused by a virus or spyware.
This article explains why this error occurs and provides some solutions to
removing it.
Get Rid of a Rundll Error
Sometimes, simply rebooting your computer can fix the problem. If it doesn't, you can choose from the solutions below.
This problem may also occur due to an incorrect program removal procedure. You can try to fix it by installing the program that has been removed, and to uninstall it either with the
Uninstall option provided by the program itself, or through the
Add/Remove feature in the Control Panel menu. To access the latter feature, go to the
Control Panel >
Add/ Remove program. Locate the program that you want to remove, then click
Remove. Delete any shortcuts that could remain, empty the
Recycle Bin, and reboot your system.
You may also consider locating the error with the
System Configuration Utility. Go to
Start >
Run, then enter
msconfig to load the
System Configuration Utility. When it shows up, choose the
Selective Startup option and enable only one of its options. Apply the changes, and restart the computer.
Finally, you can try using an anti-spyware software, like
AVG or
Spy Emergency, to locate and get rid of the malware that is causing the error. There are also various online tools, like
Regcure and
Process Library, that you may find helpful.
