Starting the Job >> Cleaning Up Your 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 errors - 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 files 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" error 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?
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.

RUNDLL Error vs RUNDLL32 Error
The same thing?
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.

- On startup I had a similar file not found error as you guys below. I ran regedit and clicked on edit then find and searched for the .vbs file in my case. I found it under HKLM Software Microsoft Windows NT Current Version Winlogon. It attached itself to the userinit key. I removed the part that didn't below to userinit and this solved my problem. The .vbs file was linked to a virus I had removed. Hope this helps.

- After removing a ton of viruses both externally and then with the HD in the machine, on start up I get the error "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\_c001A049.dat; Specified module could not be found." Even after a bunch of updates and running a couple fixes it still appears. Anyone know if this could be related to damage from the viruses or a file the virus use to use?

- Running Windows XP, SP3 -- Here is my situation:
Had an attack of the SystemTool virus (in spite of the fact that I was current on all XP updates and Microsoft Security Essentials updates), which I repaired using, in part, MalwareBytes' anti-malware application. This application found and removed 3 infected files. When I re-booted, I got a Rundll32.exe error that "sdhtiapo.dll" could not be found. I searched my PC for an alternate copy and found none. Ran a couple Internet searches on the dll and found nothing, so I assumed this .dll to be "bogus". So, to get rid of the error message on startup, I used XP's restore function to return my PC to a previous state (a few days back). However, when I re-botted after the "successful restore", I still had the rundll32.exe error message re: could not find sdhtiapo.dll.
So, my question is this: During the boot process, what list/.ini file/folder/etc. does RUNDLL32.EXE "look at" to determine what to load on start-up? Since the .dll was not restored by the XP System Restore process, I am assuming that it was a virus-spawned bogus .dll. Now I want to find a way to get rundll32.exe to stop trying to load this file on boot-up. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
