Starting the Job >> Cleaning Up Your Registry 

What the heck is a registry?

The registry is a key component of the Windows operating system. Without it, Windows can't run.

The registry records and contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences on your computer. Whenever you make a change to the Control Panel settings, files or install software ---> the changes are stored in the registry. The operating system continually looks to access this information during its operation.

Over time, the Registry gets bloated, it accumulates old, useless and incorrect records left by incompete installations/uninstallations, application errors, configuration conflicts etc... These lead to system errors such as the RUNDLL error and a slowdown in overall PC performance.

TIP: RegCure is an automatic repair tool for RUNDLL problems - it only takes 2 minutes to scan your computer, and you'll have the issue fixed and error messages gone in no time. Download RegCure. (Free Download)

Ok, So What Is a RUNDLL error? 

Rundll.exe files are system processes directly related to your Windows operating system. These Dll files are a part of vast network of code & data shared by many programs on your computer. They help produce speed and memory efficiency in your operating system by reusing the same code or file to run many functions by various programs. An error occurs when program isn't allowed to access this code.

Hence "the specified module could not be found" message.

It is a common problem so you are not alone. It is estimated that over 90% of computers are affected by registry errors.

It's no wonder that people are constantly complaining that after using their PC for only a short length of time, it no longer works the way it used to.

Why Do I Have These RUNDLL Errors Anyway? 

When the DLL file is missing or becomes corrupted, any application using that file cannot be loaded and produces that annoying RUNDLL error.

The main reasons why you have these RUNDLL error messages and why the dll file has gone missing, are probably :

  • Linked directly to spyware or a virus. This kind of spyware and malware often tries to hijack the files being shared by the RUNDLL file.


  • Linked to invalid entries that exist in your system registry, that might exist because of software you are no longer using or software that was not properly removed.


By removing these invalid entries and by allowing programs sharing the DLL file then to operate efficiently ---> you can significantly increase the speed and performance of your PC.

How Do I Fix a RUNDLL Error? 

To fix a RUNDLL error loading message on startup, you have to stop the process by deleting it from running in the Windows Registry Editor. You have to run the Registry Editor.

To repair it, you can go to your Start menu, Open Run, Type in RegEdit and press Enter.

IMPORTANT:

The Windows Registry is an INTEGRAL part of Windows, so use EXTREME caution in editing the CORRECT registry keys. If you make an error YOU WILL corrupt your entire system.

Go to the Start menu and open Run, type in RegEdit and Enter. 

  1. Open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder

  2. Open "Software" folder

  3. Open "Microsoft" folder

  4. Open "Windows" folder

  5. Open "Currentversion" folder

  6. Click on the Run folder

  7. Click on the WildTangent CDA file (RUNDLL32.exe)

  8. Delete the file by pressing Delete key

RUNDLL Error Message Still There?

Common RUNDLL and RUNDLL32 exe Error Messages List 

Here is a list of some of the more common RUNDLL errors and RUNDLL32 error messages I've seen. By no means a complete list, so feel free to add...

RUNDLL Error vs RUNDLL32 Error 

The same thing?

There is a lot of confusion about RUNDLL error and RUNDLL32 error. Many people are unsure - is this the same thing? Are these errors the same?

The short answer is - yes.

Rundll32 is simply the later development of RUNDLL. DLL's were cantral components of the Microsoft Windows 95 & Windows 98 operating system build which used 16 bit technology.

With the development of the XP and Vista operating systems, that software used 32-bit technology. Incidentally, the latest system Vista uses 64-bit technology.

So, basically what this all means is that Rundll loads and runs 16-bit DLLs, and that Rundll32 does exactly the same for 32-bit DLLs.

Hope that answers many of the questions asked.

    taylor, you can clean it up. By cleaning up your registry you are allowing programs sharing the DLL file to operate more efficiently and thus you speed up your PC.

    What could have caused the problem? You may have been downloading various software/programs and then didn't uninstall it properly - thus building those invalid entries in your registry.
