Fix RUNDLL Error & RUNDLL32 Error Messages at Startup [Solution]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
